The Directorate of Works & Civil Engineering (DW&CE) at the Defence Construction Institute (DCI) in Islamabad invites applications for pre-qualification and bidding for miscellaneous works including construction, left-over work, provision and installation of residential and non-residential facilities and services. The scope encompasses two main categories: construction and installation activities at DCI Islamabad, and consultancy services covering design and resident engineer supervision for various works at the same location.

Only qualified contractors will receive bidding documents. Applicants must provide detailed information on works executed during the last three years including the executing agency, contract amount, time allowed versus actual completion, percentage progress of ongoing works, and the department's performance report.

DCI Islamabad seeks mixed construction and consultancy services—residential/non-residential facilities, installation work, plus design and resident engineer supervision.
Scale appears medium to large given defence sector involvement and multi-category scope. Notable: MES enlistment preferred but non-enlisted firms admitted with 2% earnest money bond. Tight deadline (14-day application window, bid submission 11 Sept 2026). Likely recurring maintenance/upgrade cycle typical of institutional campuses. Three-year track record scrutiny suggests buyer vets execution quality closely.
Who can bid: MES-enlisted firms eligible directly. Non-MES firms must register with relevant authority (typically NTN-holding) and deposit 2% earnest money as Crossed Demand Draft or Defence Saving Certificates pledged to DW&CE. No explicit PEC category stated, but construction works typically require PEC. Pre-qualification mandatory; only qualified contractors receive bid documents.
