Development of Simplified Procurement Management System for Sindh Water and Agriculture Transformation Project

The Planning and Development Department, Government of Sindh, through its Project Coordination & Monitoring Unit (PCMU) under the Sindh Water and Agriculture Transformation (SWAT) Project, is procuring consultancy services for the development of a simplified Procurement Management System (PMS). This digital system aims to enhance transparency, tracking, and reporting of procurement activities specifically for the SWAT Project based in Karachi. The scope includes reviewing existing procurement workflows, mapping processes in line with SPPRA Rules, and developing a low-code/no-code digital PMS using platforms such as Excel, Google Sheets, or AppSheet within a three-week timeframe. The system will cover procurement planning, solicitation tracking, bid evaluation monitoring, contract management, and real-time dashboards for procurement status. Eligible consulting firms must have valid FBR and Sindh Revenue Board registrations, demonstrate relevant experience with public sector projects, and a minimum turnover of Four Million PKR in the last three years. Firms should also provide proof of at least three relevant works executed or ongoing in the past three years and submit an affidavit confirming no blacklisting or litigation with government entities. The submission deadline is within 15 days of publication, with proposals to be submitted electronically via the e-Pak Acquisition and Disposal System. The contact office is located at the Sindh Bureau of Statistics Building, Clifton, Karachi. A practical tip for bidders is to ensure their technical bid clearly demonstrates their experience with low-code digital solutions and public procurement systems, as this will be critical for ranking in the Consultant Qualification Selection process. Additionally, timely submission of the Expression of Interest along with all required documentation including company profile and turnover certificates will be essential to avoid disqualification.
