Posted On   2021-03-12   |  tender

The National Pension and Provident Fund (NPPF) intends to commence construction of a commercial building adjacent to the NPPF head office in Chubachu, Thimphu. With the covid-19 pandemic causing distruptions in sourcing skilled expatriate labour and import of construction materials, construction industry is one of the badly affected sector.

Therefore, cognizant of the situation, NPPF would like to first seek expression of interest (EoI) from interested and capable W3 LARGE Contractors registered with the Construction Development Board to undertake the aforementioned work under the following project specific terms and conditions:

1. The entire workforce to be deployed for the construction shall be Bhutanese;
2. No time extension on account of the pandemic or its impacts on completion of the work would be granted except due to lockdowns;
3. Construction to be completed within 36 months from the date of award of work; and
4. Other standard terms and conditions would be applicable as usual.

The deadline for submission of expression of interest is 29th March 2021 at or before 5pm. EoI should be submitted to the Director, Investment Department, NPPF, Chubachu, Thimphu.

Depending on the response to the EoI, NPPF may proceed to request the contractors to submit sealed bid for the work. Based on the evaluation of the bids, NPPF may then decide to award the work.

It is to be noted that NPPF may at any point in time cancel the EOI or decide not to award the work without accruing any liability to the Contractors taking part in the process. Further, NPPF will not be obliged to provide justification(s) in such circumstances. For further details please contact 02328179/02334790 during office hours.
