About this tender
DAI Global UK is seeking proposals from firms or consortia to provide engineering and climate-resilient infrastructure advisory services to the Building Resilience and Addressing Vulnerability to Emergencies - Institutional Strengthening (BRAVE-IS) programme in Pakistan. BRAVE-IS is a multi-year (2026-2029) technical assistance programme funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). The background is that Pakistan's infrastructure is highly exposed to floods, extreme heat, drought, landslides and earthquakes. Government has introduced climate and disaster risk requirements into public investment planning, but institutions need specialist engineering support to apply them to how infrastructure is planned, designed, appraised and maintained. The programme will appoint a firm or consortium under a Time and Materials call-down framework, from which it can mobilise engineering experts and, where needed, complete delivery teams. Work will be commissioned through individual task requests. Required expertise covers climate-resilient infrastructure engineering and design; hydrology, hydraulics and flood-risk engineering; water resources, irrigation and drainage; infrastructure planning, appraisal and risk assessment; geospatial, digital and engineering software; and engineering institutional strengthening and capacity development. Support must strengthen, not substitute for, government capacity. The initial period runs from date of award to 31 March 2027, extendable subject to programme requirements, performance and FCDO approval. Contracts will be issued by DAI Pakistan (Pvt.) Ltd. No minimum volume of work is guaranteed. Personnel will work in Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar and Gilgit, with travel elsewhere in Pakistan as required.
