For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
PIFD seeks a chartered accountancy firm to register three employee benefit trusts (provident, gratuity, pension) under Punjab Trust Act 2020.
This is a one-off consultancy assignment, not a recurring contract. The scope is narrowly defined—trust registration and compliance only, not ongoing trust management or audit. Bid security and integrity undertakings are mandatory. The tight closing deadline (October 13, 2026) leaves limited time for proposal preparation. This is suitable for mid-sized CA practices with trust registration experience and Punjab-based presence.
Who can bid: Eligible bidders must be registered chartered accountancy firms with demonstrable experience in trust registration and compliance work under Pakistani trust legislation. Typically, firms must hold ICAP membership, maintain valid professional insurance, possess no disciplinary record with relevant regulatory bodies (ICAP/SECP), and ideally have prior experience with trust deed preparation and regulatory filings under provincial trust acts.
