Tender Details
Description / Scope of Work
The Directorate General of Archaeology, Government of the Punjab, invites pre-qualification applications from contractors for Package-II of the Heritage Conservation and Urban Revitalization of The Walled City of Rawalpindi project. This is an e-procurement tender administered by the Project Management Unit located in Lahore. The project focuses on heritage conservation and urban revitalization works in the Walled City of Rawalpindi, a historically significant area requiring specialized expertise in restoration and conservation. Interested contractors must demonstrate financial soundness, relevant experience, qualified personnel, and appropriate equipment capabilities to undertake this specialized heritage conservation work. The scope encompasses detailed assessment of applicants' track records and technical qualifications.
Applicants must meet stringent eligibility and qualification criteria organized into four categories: financial soundness with verified bank statements and audited accounts, experience record demonstrating completion of similar nature projects within the last ten years, personnel capabilities including qualified engineers and technical staff, and equipment capabilities commensurate with project requirements. Joint ventures are permitted but require comprehensive joint venture agreements, identification of a lead member bearing joint and several liability, and supporting documentation from all partners. Applicants must provide evidence of registration with relevant authorities and maintain compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Late submissions will not be accepted, and applicants submitting multiple applications will be disqualified.
Pre-qualification applications must be submitted in the prescribed format using the provided forms (PQ-2 through PQ-5) covering general information, financial details, project experience summary, and detailed project records. Applicants should obtain the complete pre-qualification document and forms from the Project Management Unit at 60-A, Garden Block, Garden Town, Lahore. The employer reserves the right to request clarifications, reject any application, and modify prequalification criteria. All applications will be evaluated against the stated criteria, and selected pre-qualified contractors will be invited to participate in subsequent bidding stages for the construction and heritage conservation works.

This is a pre-qualification exercise, not a full tender invitation, for heritage conservation work on Rawalpindi's historic Walled City.
The project is organized in packages, with Package-II being advertised here. Contractors must clear stringent financial, experience, and technical qualification hurdles before invitation to bid. The emphasis on heritage conservation suggests specialized skills in restoration and conservation are essential. The four-category evaluation framework (financial, experience, personnel, equipment) indicates a sophisticated assessment process. Only pre-qualified firms will advance to tender stage.
Who can bid: Applicants must demonstrate financial soundness with recent audited accounts and bank statements, completion of similar heritage conservation or construction projects valued comparably within ten years, qualified engineering and technical personnel on staff, and appropriate equipment. Joint ventures are permitted with lead member designation. Pakistani registration with relevant authorities (typically NTN, SECP for companies, or PEC for construction) is typically required but the notice does not explicitly state minimum PEC category.
