Digital Financial Services Rights and E-Ticketing and Payment Solution for Punjab Cattle Market Management & Development Company

Punjab Cattle Market Management & Development Company (PCMMDC) invites sealed Technical and Financial Proposals for the competitive grant of Digital Financial Services Access Rights and the provision and operation of an E-Ticketing and Digital Payment Solution across all 113 cattle markets identified in the Request for Proposals (RFP). PCMMDC is a public sector company established under section 42 of the Companies Act, 2017. The project supports the collection of animal fees, cashless transactions and electronic payment channels across cattle markets in Punjab.

The project is one indivisible, province-wide opportunity. Each bidder must submit a proposal covering the complete portfolio of all 113 cattle markets. Partial, market-specific, geographical or otherwise limited proposals will not be accepted. Joint venture and consortium proposals are not permitted. The bidder itself must satisfy the Mandatory Eligibility and Qualification Requirements in Section 5 of the RFP and remain responsible for project performance.

The successful bidder must, at its own cost, provide, integrate, deploy, operate, maintain and support the E-Ticketing and Digital Payment Solution, together with the Digital Financial Services presence, payment acceptance infrastructure and other requirements in the RFP. PCMMDC will not pay development, implementation, integration, licensing or operating fees. Payments against prescribed e-tickets must be processed through the successful bidder's payment acceptance and acquiring infrastructure using interoperable digital payment channels. Users must not be required merely for this purpose to open or maintain an account or wallet with the successful bidder.

The competitive process requires separate Technical and Financial Proposals. Technical Proposals will first be assessed for eligibility and qualification, then evaluated under the RFP's Technical Evaluation and Scoring System. Only Financial Proposals of technically qualified bidders will be opened. Subject to compliance with the RFP, award will be made to the technically qualified bidder achieving the highest combined financial score under Section 7, based on its Service Charge and Revenue Share percentages.

The complete RFP is available for free download at pcmmdc.punjab.gov.pk from the publication date. Interested bidders may also obtain a physical copy from PCMMDC under the procedure in the Bid Data Sheet. A pre-proposal conference will take place on 17 November 2026 at 11:00 am at PCMMDC Head Office.
