Legal Specialist

About This Job

The Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA), Government of Pakistan, has advertised 1 vacancy for the position of Legal Specialist on a contract, lump-sum-pay basis. PPRA is the federal regulator responsible for harmonising public procurement rules and systems across Pakistan, and this position supports that regulatory and reform mandate. The role is based in Islamabad and is aimed at experienced professionals able to contribute to PPRA's ongoing procurement modernisation work. The vacancy was posted on the National Job Portal on 20 September 2026 as part of a wider batch of specialist and expert posts PPRA is currently recruiting for, reflecting the authority's push to strengthen its technical and regulatory bench-strength. PPRA operates under the federal government and plays a central role in ensuring public procurement across ministries, divisions, and autonomous bodies follows transparent, competitive, and rules-based processes, so specialist hires like this one are intended to add depth to that regulatory function.

Candidates should hold an LLB (16 years of education) or higher degree from an HEC-recognized university; an LLM is preferred. The advertisement asks for a minimum of 10 years in the relevant legal field, preferably within the public sector. The maximum age limit for this post is 55 years as on the closing date, and no domicile or gender restriction is mentioned, so the post is open to eligible applicants nationwide. Pay for the position is on a lump-sum basis, with the exact amount to be discussed with shortlisted candidates rather than published in the advertisement itself. No application fee is mentioned either, and candidates should note that PPRA's own assessment of qualifications and experience against the stated criteria will determine who is shortlisted for the next stage of the selection process. As with other PPRA contract posts advertised through the National Job Portal, candidates should ensure their profile clearly reflects the qualification and experience thresholds stated above before submitting an application.

Applications must be submitted online through the National Job Portal (njp.gov.pk), where candidates log in or register before completing the application form for this listing. No application fee is mentioned in the advertisement. The closing date for applications is 04-10-2026, and interested candidates are encouraged to apply well before the deadline given the portal-based submission process and required supporting documents. Applicants will need a PAK-ID-verified NJP account, along with scanned copies of their CV and relevant academic and experience certificates, to complete the online submission for this PPRA vacancy without delay. Since the position is one of several specialist and expert roles PPRA has opened at the same time, applicants are advised to apply specifically for the Legal Specialist listing rather than a related one, to avoid confusion during the shortlisting stage.
