The Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication has issued an Expression of Interest for consulting services to support a significant institutional restructuring exercise being carried out under the Digital Economy Enhancement Project. The initiative, referenced under the code PK-MOITT-552503-CS-QCBS, is aimed at strengthening the ministry’s internal capacity, improving its governance structures, and accelerating the pace of Pakistan’s broader digital transformation agenda. Interested consulting firms have until July 14, 2026 at 3:00 PM Pakistan Standard Time to submit their expressions of interest, with the Terms of Reference and further details available at https://lnkd.in/gThmHVMG.
The Digital Economy Enhancement Project serves as the overarching framework under which this restructuring assignment sits, and it reflects the government’s recognition that building a functional digital economy requires not just technology investment but also institutional reform within the bodies responsible for driving that agenda. The Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication, as the primary government entity overseeing the country’s information and communication technology policy, digital infrastructure, and software export development, is undergoing this restructuring to better align its organizational setup with the demands of an increasingly digital economy and the scale of initiatives it is expected to lead and coordinate.
The Expression of Interest follows a Quality and Cost Based Selection process, a procurement method commonly used for high-value consulting assignments that evaluates firms on both the technical quality of their proposal and the cost of their services. Consulting firms with relevant experience in public sector institutional reform, digital governance, and organizational capacity development are expected to be among those considering a response to the call. The outcome of the restructuring is intended to make the ministry more agile and effective in delivering on its mandate, which spans areas including digital infrastructure policy, information technology industry development, cybersecurity governance, and the promotion of Pakistan’s technology exports. The assignment represents one of the more substantial reform efforts within the ministry in recent years and is being supported through project financing linked to the Digital Economy Enhancement Project.
