Development of Capital House in Sector F-5, Islamabad – EPC Contract

The Capital Development Authority invites electronic bids from eligible contractors and joint venture firms for the development of Capital House in Sector F-5, Islamabad, a major real estate development project in the federal capital. The project is valued at Rs. 33.00 million and will be executed as an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract. The EPC contractor will be responsible for full compliance with applicable specifications and standards, delivering a complete solution as detailed in the bidding documents. The work scope encompasses design, procurement, and construction activities to bring the capital house development to completion within the project parameters.

Bidders must be registered in the e-Pak Acquisition & Disposal System (EPADS) and possess relevant experience in similar development projects. Technical bids must be accompanied by refundable bid security of Rs. 33.00 million in the form of a pay order or bank CDR issued by any scheduled bank of Pakistan, drawn in favor of the DDO (Procurement & Contract), CDA. Bidders shall upload a scanned copy of the bid security on EPADS and provide the original pay order or CDR before the opening of technical bids. The bidding process will follow the Rule 36(d) Two Stages Two Envelopes procedure as prescribed under the Public Procurement Rules 2004 and e-Pak Procurement Regulations 2023.

Electronic bidding documents containing detailed contract conditions and requirements are available on EPADS at www.eprocure.gov.pk from 20 July 2026. Bids must be submitted online through the EPADS portal at http://eprocure.gov.pk on or before 31 August 2026 at 11:00 AM; manual bids will not be accepted. Technical bids will be opened publicly on 31 August 2026 at 11:30 AM at the office of the Director P&CA-I, Block III, P&C Wing, CDA Secretariat, Sector G-7/4, Islamabad, in the presence of the procurement committee and bidders' authorized representatives.

This is a Rs. 33 crore EPC contract for a capital development project in Islamabad's F-5 sector, requiring full design-build delivery. The two-envelope process and substantial bid security indicate a formal, competitive procurement. The tight submission window (less than 6 weeks) and online-only upload requirement suggest experienced bidders familiar with ePADS; any delay will result in automatic rejection. This appears to be a single, non-recurring development project rather than a framework arrangement.

Who can bid: Bidders must be registered on EPADS and typically require a valid SECP registration (for companies), active NTN with FBR, and PEC membership for construction firms (likely Cat-C or higher given the scale). The notice does not explicitly state PEC requirement; bidders should verify category eligibility in full bidding documents.
