SMTA is appointing an independent arbiter-consultant to resolve operator payment claims and contractual disputes, valued at PKR 300,000.
This is a specialized professional services engagement requiring expertise in transport contracts, financial assessment, and dispute resolution—not a typical construction or supply tender. The tight timeline (closing 13-11-2026, pre-bid 04-11-2026) suggests SMTA has pending disputes awaiting resolution. This appears to be a one-off assignment rather than a framework contract, suitable for management consulting firms with public sector and transport operations experience.
Who can bid: Bidders must be registered with FBR and SRB. The notice does not specify PEC category or detailed qualification criteria; typically, consulting firms offering dispute resolution and financial audit services must be registered as service providers with relevant professional bodies (ISO 9001 or equivalent), possess relevant team credentials in transport/contract law, and demonstrate prior similar assignments. Local SMTA familiarity is likely advantageous.
