Government seeking experienced catering operator for Islamabad facility serving official staff and visitors.
Single-location, ongoing service contract with modest operational scale (government house cafeteria, not large-volume mass catering). Notable: 5-year experience minimum requirement is strict; Rs 700,000 upfront non-refundable deposit signals serious commitment; tight 18-day bidding window suggests pre-planned procurement. Recurring revenue model suits established caterers.
Who can bid: Catering firms/contractors with minimum 5 years documented experience in government/semi-government/private sector. Must be registered with relevant authorities and hold valid NTN/Sales Tax certificates where applicable. Original affidavit on Rs 100 stamp paper required confirming no prior government blacklisting.
