Establishment and Operations of Branded Fragrance and Cosmetics Shop at Allama Iqbal International Airport Lahore

The Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) is offering a concession opportunity for the establishment and operations of a branded fragrance and cosmetics shop at Allama Iqbal International Airport, Lahore. This concession is for a period of five years or until the premises are impacted by the airport expansion, whichever is earlier. The license period includes a 10% annual enhancement on a cumulative basis for subsequent years. The concession is specifically aimed at companies, firms, joint ventures, or sole proprietors with a strong reputation, relevant experience, and sound financial background. The technical scope involves the setup and management of a retail outlet within the departure lounge of the airport, focusing on branded fragrances and cosmetics. Bidders must submit separate sealed envelopes for Technical and Financial offers, clearly marked and placed in a single envelope. The technical evaluation carries 80% weightage, emphasizing the importance of a strong technical bid. Earnest Money in the form of a pay order or demand draft is mandatory, and any submission of fake or tempered documents will lead to disqualification and blacklisting. Eligibility requires bidders to provide NTN certificates, CNIC copies, and pay a non-refundable fee of Rs. 5,000 for tender documents. Defaulters of PAA dues are not eligible, and outstanding dues must be cleared before financial bid opening. The submission deadline is 30th April 2026 by 11:00 AM at the office of the Airport Manager/COO, AIIAP Lahore, with technical bids opened half an hour later in the presence of bidders. A practical tip for bidders is to ensure all documentation, including Earnest Money and NTN certificates, are authentic and complete to avoid disqualification. Early submission is advised as no tenders will be accepted after the deadline, and no tender forms will be sold on the last day. This opportunity is ideal for suppliers experienced in airport retail concessions looking to expand their footprint in Lahore's premier international airport.
