For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender, written with AI from the official notice and checked by our quality rules — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
STZA is seeking a Transaction Advisor for a major PPP infrastructure project (Islamabad Technopolis) — a specialized, high-value advisory mandate rather than construction or supply.
The bid security of PKR 3.25 million signals a substantial engagement, likely involving feasibility studies, structuring, and stakeholder coordination. Closing date 23 November 2026 is several months away, providing reasonable preparation time. This is a one-off assignment, not a recurring contract. Eligibility requires ATL tax status and proven PPP/transaction experience; international firms compete directly.
Who can bid: Bidders must be on the Active Taxpayers List (ATL) of the Federal Board of Revenue or registered with equivalent tax authorities if international. Typically, advisory firms engaged for PPP projects should demonstrate prior transaction advisory experience, relevant qualifications, and professional standing. No specific PEC or sectoral license is mentioned.
