Prequalification of Construction Firms for New Construction & Maintenance by Daanish University Trust

Daanish University Trust, functioning under the Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training, Government of Pakistan, has invited applications from construction firms for prequalification and enlistment on its approved panel of contractors. The panel will be engaged for new construction, renovation, repair and maintenance works to be carried out at Daanish University Trust facilities. The document is issued from the Trust's office at Room No. 227, D-Block, Pak Secretariat, Islamabad, and establishes a framework arrangement under which shortlisted firms may be invited to bid on future works over the validity period of the enlistment.

Applicants must meet mandatory eligibility requirements including submission of a duly filled Letter of Application, an affidavit confirming non-blacklisting and no pending litigation, and a bid security in the form of a bank guarantee as prescribed in the document. Technical evaluation will be based on experience, personnel capabilities, equipment capabilities and financial soundness, each carrying defined marks, and joint ventures are permitted subject to the conditions specified in the instructions to applicants.

Interested and eligible construction firms may obtain the prequalification document and detailed application forms, including general information, experience record, completed and in-hand contracts, personnel and equipment summaries, financial capability and litigation history forms, from the Daanish University Trust office in Islamabad. Completed applications along with all required annexures must be submitted to the Deputy Secretary, Daanish University Trust, Room No. 227, D-Block, Pak Secretariat, Islamabad, before the closing date. For clarifications, applicants may contact the Trust at Tel: 051-9103915.

This is a panel enlistment exercise rather than a specific works contract, meaning selected firms will be pre-approved for future bidding rather than awarded work immediately. Given the framework arrangement mentioned, this could yield recurring maintenance and construction assignments across Daanish University campuses. SMEs should weigh the cost of preparing detailed technical, financial and personnel documentation against the uncertain volume and timing of future call-off contracts under this panel.

Who can bid: Firms typically require PEC registration in relevant construction categories, valid NTN, SECP or partnership registration, and demonstrated experience in building construction and maintenance works. The notice requires an affidavit of non-blacklisting and non-litigation plus a bid security bank guarantee; joint ventures are permitted subject to stated conditions.
