The **Collectorate of Custom Enforcement, Gadani (Pakistan Customs)** is seeking to prequalify transporters for the provision of transportation services for goods under a two-year framework agreement. This procurement is specific to Gadani city in Balochistan province and aims to establish a panel of qualified transporters to support the Collectorate's operational needs. The scope includes transportation services for local and intercity routes, divided into two lots. Applicants may apply for one or both lots, provided they meet the qualification criteria. The services will be executed through call-off or work orders based on availability, performance, and operational requirements. This is a prequalification process only; no financial proposals or rates are required at this stage. Eligibility requires valid NTN and active tax status, registration certificates (SECP or Registrar of Firms), experience certificates with at least three years of relevant experience, and a fleet of owned or leased vehicles. Applicants must also provide details of completed contracts, financial statements showing average annual turnover, and an affidavit of non-blacklisting. The evaluation is quality-based with a passing technical score of 70 out of 100. The deadline for submission is **Monday, May 4, 2026 at 11:30 AM** through the e-Pak Acquisition and Disposal System (EPADS) v2.0 platform. Manual submissions will not be accepted. The opening of applications will be conducted virtually on the same day at 12:00 PM. Interested bidders should register on EPADS and may attend a pre-application meeting held on April 22, 2026.

Incomplete or late submissions will be rejected. Familiarity with EPADS registration and submission procedures is essential to avoid technical disqualification. This opportunity is ideal for transporters with a solid track record, proper registration, and a reliable fleet, aiming to engage with a government agency in a structured framework agreement.
