The Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP) and the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) have signed an Addendum to their foundational Memorandum of Understanding originally established on May 14, 2025, to combat collusive tendering, anti-competitive practices, and corruption, today at NAB (HQ), Islamabad.
The addendum was signed by Ms. Marryum Pervaiz, Secretary to the Commission CCP, and Mr. Muhammad Tahir, Director General (SID) NAB, in the presence of Chairman NAB Lt Gen (R) Nazir Ahmed, CCP Chairman Mr. Farid Ahmed Tarar, and senior officers from both organizations.
This supplementary agreement deepens inter-institutional collaboration by focusing on comprehensive capacity-building initiatives, specialized training, and technical cooperation under the banner of PACA.
Originally designed to align efforts against market distortion, collusive procurement, and anti-competitive cartels, the expanded partnership now advances collaboration in priority domains including joint workshops on competition law and anti-corruption, the exchange of subject-matter experts and investigators, and collaborative efforts to detect bid rigging and market manipulation.
Additionally, both institutions will partner on research initiatives, policy dialogues, and the development of shared training modules and case studies. All other terms of the original MoU remain unchanged.
