This is a pre-qualification call for military engineering works split across five packages at Lahore and Taxila involving rehabilitation, roofing, interior finishes, and electrical upgrades.
Only MES-Category-E-and-above firms are eligible; new bidders must provide two-year execution history with departmental performance certificates. Tight fifteen-day pre-qualification window with tender opening approximately 30–45 days post-advertisement suggests a planned execution cycle. Works are primarily maintenance and minor rehabilitation rather than new construction, indicating suitable scope for established mid-tier contractors with military experience.
Who can bid: Applicants must be enlisted with Military Engineer Services in Category E or higher. Those not on the MES approved list must submit a certificate detailing works completed in the last two years and current projects, endorsed by divisional engineers. Typically, bidders should possess valid PEC registration, NTN, and documented experience in defence or public sector construction.
