MES DP Chaklala is pre-qualifying contractors across ten work categories worth Rs.
4 million each—spanning building repairs, electrical-mechanical maintenance, facility provisions, and material supply. This is a recurring procurement framework (term contracts offered), suitable for established contractors. Tight eligibility (PEC registration, MES Category E minimum) narrows the field significantly. The 2% earnest money requirement for non-listed contractors is typical. Pre-qualification phase precedes formal tender issue, indicating a structured, planned programme of work.
Who can bid: Applicants must be PEC-registered and hold MES Category E rating or higher. Those not on the MES approved list must provide departmental proof and deposit 2% earnest money. Typically, bidders must also possess valid business registration (SECP/NTN), active tax filing history, and demonstrated experience in relevant civil or mechanical works within the last two years.
