The Punjab Tourism Department is prequalifying event management firms on a framework basis for FY 2026-27 to handle high-profile international delegations (ECO/SCO, ~100 per delegation) and tourism promotion events.
This is a recurring engagement spanning the full financial year with significant scope: accommodation, logistics, protocol, cultural programming and bespoke merchandise for international VVIPs and dignitaries. Scale appears medium to large given delegate volume, multi-city execution potential, and requirement for end-to-end service delivery across hospitality, catering, transportation and AV production. Prequalification is non-binding; actual work orders will follow competitive procurement per PPR 2014.
Who can bid: The notice does not explicitly state eligibility criteria, licensing or registration requirements. Typically, event management firms bidding for Punjab government contracts must possess SECP registration, valid NTN (Federal Tax ID) and completion of recent similar-scale events. PEC registration is not mentioned, suggesting this is services-based rather than construction. Local presence in Lahore or Punjab would be advantageous given event venue and coordination requirements.
