Pre-Qualification of Event Management Companies, Media Firms, and Service Providers for Event Management and Support Services

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MOIB) Islamabad Capital Territory is inviting qualified event management companies, media firms, and service providers to participate in the pre-qualification process for event management and support services. This procurement aims to establish a panel of pre-qualified service providers who will be eligible to participate in future bidding opportunities for event-related contracts during the financial year 2026-27. The scope includes comprehensive event management services such as sound, lighting, LED screens, and other technical equipment, along with creative and management staff support. Applicants must demonstrate relevant experience, technical capability, financial capacity, and legal compliance. The evaluation criteria emphasize experience in event management, availability of equipment, human resource strength, financial stability, and prior public sector or corporate client experience. Eligible bidders must be registered with FBR, possess NTN and GST registration, and be listed on the Active Taxpayers List (ATL). Joint ventures are not permitted. The submission deadline is **July 10, 2026, at 12:30 PM**, and applications must be submitted electronically through the EPADS v2.0 system. Manual submissions will not be accepted. A practical tip for bidders is to ensure timely registration on the EPADS platform and to carefully prepare the technical and financial documents as per the pre-qualification requirements. Early submission is advised to avoid last-minute technical issues. Earnest Money or CDR requirements will be detailed in subsequent bidding documents after pre-qualification. This is a valuable opportunity for firms aiming to secure government contracts in the event management sector under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.
