Bank of Khyber simultaneously procures a Sustainability Reporting Consultant and Fortinet NGF firewall appliance via EPADS.
The Consultant role appears specialized, requiring ESG/CSR reporting expertise; the firewall procurement is framework-based, suggesting standardized enterprise IT infrastructure renewal. Both close on the same date (5 Nov 2026), creating compressed preparation windows. The bank's mandatory e-portal submission enforces digital readiness; firms without EPADS registration or portal familiarity face practical barriers. No budget estimate is disclosed; the firewall is likely medium to large capex based on enterprise-grade naming.
Who can bid: Typically, consulting and IT equipment suppliers must be registered with SECP/PTA or relevant regulatory authority and hold valid NTN/GST certificates. The notice does not specify PEC category, experience requirements, or turnover thresholds. Bidders should verify whether local or foreign suppliers are permitted and whether technical certifications (e.g., Fortinet partner status) are mandatory for the firewall tender.
