The National IT Board, operating under the Ministry of IT and Telecommunication, has invited technology firms across Pakistan to participate in a pre-qualification process for Digital IT Services, with the initiative aimed at establishing a pool of capable technology partners to support government digital transformation initiatives in the years ahead. Submissions are due by June 22, 2026 at 11:00 AM via the EPADS procurement platform, with further details available at https://lnkd.in/dvdSviAv.
The pre-qualification exercise is designed to identify and register technology firms with demonstrated expertise across high-impact domains including artificial intelligence, cloud computing, cybersecurity, data-driven decision-making, and citizen-centric digital service delivery. By building a pre-qualified vendor pool in advance of specific project requirements, NITB aims to accelerate procurement timelines for future digital government initiatives, reducing the lead time between project approval and vendor engagement that has historically been one of the more significant bottlenecks in public sector technology project delivery. For technology firms, inclusion in the pre-qualified pool creates a structured pathway to public sector digital transformation contracts rather than requiring participation in open tenders for each individual project.
The call for pre-qualification reflects the scale of digital government work that Pakistan’s expanding transformation agenda is generating across citizen services, public sector data infrastructure, interoperability frameworks, and secure digital identity systems. NITB has been one of the most active institutional drivers of federal government digitization, having delivered platforms including the PEMRA Complaint System, e-office solutions, and enterprise resource planning implementations across multiple ministries. As the government accelerates its Digital Nation Pakistan agenda with new institutions, new infrastructure requirements, and new service delivery mandates, the demand for qualified technology partners who understand the public sector environment and can deliver at government scale is growing correspondingly. Technology firms interested in contributing to Pakistan’s digital public services transformation and expanding their public sector footprint are encouraged to submit their pre-qualification applications through EPADS before the June 22 deadline.
