The TCP, operating under the Ministry of Commerce, seeks experienced NGOs to develop and implement impactful CSR projects aligned with these domains. The scope requires NGOs to present detailed CSR proposals including implementation plans, rationale, societal and environmental impact assessments, timelines, budgets, and resource mobilization strategies. The work demands NGOs with proven track records in similar sectors, capable of managing projects across various provinces. Karachi serves as the administrative hub for submission and bid opening, with the CSR initiatives expected to positively influence local communities through sustainable development efforts. Bidders must comply with eligibility criteria including valid registration with income tax and sales tax authorities, active taxpayer status, and submission of audited financial statements for the last three years. The tender advises NGOs to ensure PEC category compliance and maintain good standing with FBR and provincial tax authorities for fiscal year 2025-26. Bid security of PKR 50,000 is mandatory, and performance guarantees will be required upon award. The tender follows PPRA rules and the EPADS e-procurement system for submission.
