BISE Sahiwal seeks a one-year branded SMS service covering 500,000 numbers—a medium-scale telecom contract worth PKR 1.3M.
This is a recurring procurement (extensible for a second year on performance) likely supporting board communications with students/staff. Tight October 2026 deadline and mandatory e-procurement submission via Bank of Punjab system are operationally critical. Bidders should verify PRA active taxpayer status early, as tax compliance verification typically delays approvals.
Who can bid: Bidders must be registered with FBR for income tax and GST; maintain active PRA taxpayer profile; demonstrate prior SMS service experience. Typically, SECP registration (if private company) or equivalent authority recognition required. Foreign bidders typically allowed if tax-registered locally. No specific PEC category applicable (telecom services, not construction).
