DHA City is procuring a complete AI-integrated town planning and building control software platform—a specialized, technology-heavy solution requiring strong software development and domain expertise in municipal/real estate management.
The two-stage evaluation emphasizes technical capability before cost consideration, suggesting DHA prioritizes solution quality over price competitiveness. Mandatory FBR and SRB registration with active taxpayer status narrows the field to established, compliant firms. The short timeline (RFP release 20 October, submission 3 November) and requirement for post-submission presentations indicate competitive selection. This is a one-off digital transformation contract, not recurring.
Who can bid: Bidders must hold current FBR registration for Income Tax and SRB registration for Sales Tax, both with Active Taxpayer status. No specific PEC, SECP, or industry certification is mentioned; typically such digital platforms require ISO 9001 or equivalent quality certification and relevant software development experience credentials.
