The scope includes assessing the optimum petrol movement share through the WOP/MFM pipelines, evaluating the need for a strategic road tanker fleet, and analyzing port-side congestion risks at FOTCO. The study will also consider seasonal demand fluctuations, international price volatility, and propose operational and infrastructure remedies to improve pipeline throughput and reduce supply disruptions. The work requires coordination with key stakeholders including PAPCO, PARCO, PSO, and the Petroleum Division. Consultants must be registered with relevant tax authorities, have at least ten years of experience in midstream/downstream oil sector consultancy, and comply with PEC and FBR/ATL requirements for the 2025-26 financial year. Firms must provide affidavits confirming no conflict of interest or blacklisting. The evaluation will be based on technical and financial proposals submitted electronically via EPADS, following the PPRA Consultancy Services Regulations 2010. The submission deadline is set for 04 May 2026 at 11:00 AM, with bid opening at 11:30 AM on the same day.

The physical address for correspondence and meetings is OGRA office, Plot No 37 and 39, Mauve Area, G-10/4, Islamabad.
