Consultant Services for Students Wellbeing and Nutrition Policy Development

The Elementary and Secondary Education Department of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, based in Peshawar, is procuring consultant services to develop a comprehensive Students Wellbeing and Nutrition Policy/Plan. This initiative aims to enhance student health and nutrition standards across the province through a well-structured policy framework. The scope includes detailed policy development tailored to the educational environment, focusing on wellbeing and nutrition aspects critical for student performance and health. Interested firms or consultants must be registered with KPRA and FBR for Income Tax and must appear on the Active Taxpayer List (ATL) of FBR. The procurement follows the Quality and Cost Based Selection (QCBS) method under KPPRA Rules 2014. Bidders are required to submit both technical and financial proposals electronically via the EPADS system. Mandatory documents include an affidavit confirming the firm is not blacklisted, detailed profiles of key team members, evidence of similar completed projects, and a CDR of 2% of the bid amount. The original CDR must be physically submitted to the Project Director ASPIRE office in Peshawar before the deadline. The deadline for bid submission is **April 27, 2026, at 02:00 PM (PST)**, with bid opening scheduled for 02:30 PM the same day. Bids submitted by any means other than the EPADS portal will be rejected. This tender offers a significant opportunity for experienced consultants familiar with government procurement processes and policy development in the education sector. A practical tip for bidders is to ensure the scanned CDR is uploaded on EPADS and the original is delivered on time to avoid outright rejection. Attention to detail in the technical proposal and compliance with all submission requirements will be critical for success in this competitive process.
