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). Background 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 in how infrastructure is planned, designed, appraised and maintained. Scope BRAVE-IS 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. Expertise is required in: 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. Eligibility Applicants must be legally registered in Pakistan and hold valid Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) registration as a consulting engineering firm. Consortia of up to four members are welcome, led by a single lead member. Personnel will work in Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar and Gilgit, with travel elsewhere in Pakistan as required, and rates are sought for locally based personnel. Contract 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. How to apply Submit one email to brave-is@dai.com with the subject line "BRAVE-IS-003 - Proposal - [Firm name]", attaching two separate PDF files: (1) a technical submission of no more than ten pages, with CVs as an annex, and (2) a financial proposal giving daily fee rates only for five personnel levels. Proposals will be scored 80% technical and 20% financial and must remain valid for 90 days. Key dates Clarification questions: by 29 October 2026, by email to brave-is@dai.com with the subject line "BRAVE-IS-003 - Clarification Question - [Firm name]". All questions and responses will be published on Contracts Finder. Proposal deadline: 9 November 2026, 17:00 Pakistan Standard Time (12:00 UK time). Please read the full RFP (reference BRAVE-IS-003) before applying. Late submissions will not be considered. DAI reserves the right to cancel the procurement or make no award.
