Consultancy Services for Third Party Validation and Impact Assessment of Interest Free Microfinance Scheme in Merged Areas of KP

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Small Industries Development Board Peshawar is seeking consultancy services for the third party validation and impact assessment (Mid Term Evaluation) of the Interest Free Microfinance Scheme aimed at entrepreneurs in the merged areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. This procurement is specifically for consultancy firms registered with the E-Pak Acquisition and Disposal System (EPADS), having active status with the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Authority and Federal Board of Revenue (FBR). The scope involves detailed evaluation and validation of the scheme’s impact on the target beneficiaries, requiring firms to submit technical and financial proposals through the EPADS platform. Interested firms must download the Request for Proposal documents from the official EPADS or KPPRA websites and submit a non-refundable fee of Rs. 5,000 in favor of the Small Industries Development Board. The evaluation will be conducted under the QCBS method with a 70% weightage on technical and 30% on financial proposals. Firms scoring below 70% in technical evaluation will be disqualified. The last date for submission is **14-05-2026** by 12:00 noon, with technical proposals opening the same day at 12:30 pm. A pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for 07-05-2026 at 11:00 am at the Board’s office on Kohat Road, Peshawar. Eligibility requires active registration with EPADS, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Authority, and FBR NTN status. Firms should ensure their technical proposals are comprehensive and uploaded correctly, as manual submissions are not accepted. A practical tip for bidders is to carefully prepare the technical bid to exceed the 70% threshold, as only technically qualified firms will have their financial bids opened. Timely submission through EPADS is critical to avoid disqualification. This tender offers a valuable opportunity for consultancy firms specializing in impact assessments and microfinance evaluations within KP’s development sector.
