NTA Invites Tenders for Secure Exam Printing and Security Services
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has issued two tenders: one inviting bids for high-security printing of confidential exam materials, with a deadline of August 20, 2026, and another for round-the-clock security services at its headquarters and regional offices, with bids due by August 17. Both contracts are initially for two years, extendable based on performance. The printing tender requires firms with experience in secure printing, while the security tender seeks agencies with expertise in safeguarding sensitive government and examination facilities.
