Hard copies of the technical proposal with pay orders must also be submitted to the GM Contract Management at PIACL Head Office Karachi.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for hotels in Karachi to partner with the national flag carrier and secure a steady volume of business over multiple years. The department emphasizes compliance with all legal and contractual obligations, including performance guarantees and adherence to health and safety standards. Bidders should carefully review the detailed specifications and evaluation criteria to maximize their chances of success.
