The Railway Estate Development and Marketing Company (REDAMCO) invites bids for leasing Pakistan Railway land to develop a Modern Retail Complex in Islamabad and other specified locations including Peshawar, Bhakkar, Muzaffargarh, and Pind Dadan Khan. The project scope includes design, finance, construction, operation, and transfer of facilities such as a fuel station with allied services, EV charging stations, international or national food outlets, convenience stores, and pharmacies. The successful bidder will be responsible for obtaining all necessary approvals and licenses from relevant authorities including OGRA and local government bodies. The lease term is 21 years with an option to extend for another similar term. Bidders must submit separate bids for each site with corresponding bid security and processing fees. Eligibility requires valid NTN and sales tax registration, active taxpayer status, and relevant experience in operation and maintenance of fuel stations or retail outlets. Financial capability will be assessed based on net worth and turnover with minimum qualifying marks set at 65%. The bid submission deadline is 02:00 PM on 21st May 2026 at REDAMCO's corporate office in Islamabad. Technical bids will be opened on the same day at 02:30 PM. Earnest money in the form of CDR or pay order of PKR 25,000/- is mandatory with the technical bid. One practical tip for bidders is to ensure all required documents including power of attorney, affidavit of correctness, and collaboration certificates are complete and notarized to avoid disqualification. Bidders should also carefully prepare their financial bids as the highest combined present value of upfront commitment fee and discounted annual rentals will determine the successful bidder. This tender offers a significant opportunity for firms with expertise in fuel station operations and retail management to partner with REDAMCO in a high-profile commercial development in Islamabad Capital Territory.
