The procurement targets diverse genres including historical, cultural, social awareness, environmental, educational, drama, documentary, and animation. Bidders must be registered production companies or producers with valid NTN registration and demonstrate technical and financial capacity. The evaluation follows a Quality Based Selection (QBS) method with a 100-point technical scoring system requiring a minimum of 70 marks to qualify. The procurement complies with Public Procurement Rules, 2025, and requires bid security in the form of a Pay Order. Submission deadline is set for 13 April 2026 at 12:00 PM via the EPADS v2.0 online portal. Bids will be opened the same day at 12:30 PM.

Pro-Tip: Ensure your technical bid thoroughly addresses the evaluation criteria including concept originality, production team expertise, and financial capacity. Missing or incomplete documentation, especially NTN and bid security, can lead to outright rejection. Also, register early on EPADS v2.0 to avoid last-minute submission issues.
