Tender Details
Description / Scope of Work
The Capital Development Authority (CDA) in Islamabad invites sealed electronic bids for the provision of comprehensive Solid Waste Management (SWM) services within specified zones of the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT). The project is divided into two major contracts: one covering Zone-II, Zone-III, and Zone-IV, and another for Zone-IV and Zone-V. The scope of work includes the collection, transportation, and professional management of solid waste for a period of four years, with a possible one-year extension based on performance. This large-scale urban service project requires contractors, firms, or joint ventures with proven experience in waste management and registration with the relevant income and sales tax departments. Bidding is conducted through the e-Pak Acquisition and Disposal System (EPADS) using the Single Stage Two Envelope procedure. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for 05 May 2026 at the D.G Environment Office to discuss technical requirements. Technical and financial proposals must be submitted online by the respective deadlines on 14 May 2026."
For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
CDA is outsourcing citywide waste collection and transportation across Islamabad's residential zones for four years (extendable one year).
Two separate contracts allow bidders to target specific zones, reducing competition intensity. Scale is significant — municipal-level operations across multiple zones simultaneously. The four-year commitment with performance-based extension suggests stable revenue but demands operational resilience; tight five-month timeline from notice to bid close demands immediate mobilization planning and compliance documentation. JV participation is explicitly permitted, beneficial for SMEs lacking standalone capacity.
Who can bid: Bidders must register with income and sales tax departments (NTN/GST). Contractors, firms, or joint ventures eligible. Typically, Pakistani waste management operators require provincial environmental approval and municipal registrations; PEC registration not stated but may be required by CDA separately. Proven waste management experience mandatory per notice.
