The Government of Canada, through the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development, is seeking qualified contractors to participate in a two-stage procurement process for the construction of a new 240-metre perimeter wall and associated infrastructure at the Official Residence of Canada in Nairobi, Kenya. This Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) establishes mandatory criteria for pre-qualification, with successful respondents advancing to a subsequent Request for Proposals (RFP) stage where final pricing and detailed execution plans will be submitted. To qualify, respondents must demonstrate experience managing at least two construction projects valued at or above Can$200,000 completed within the past ten years, each involving at least three specified activities such as reinforced concrete construction, phased work in secure environments with temporary shoring, installation of anti-climb wall toppers, projects with physical security requirements, or adherence to specific aesthetic standards. Each project must include a detailed synopsis describing the respondent’s level of effort, execution approach, and risk management strategies. All respondents must be legally registered and authorized to perform construction services in Kenya, providing proof of registration with the National Construction Authority and/or the Registrar of Companies, and may submit as a joint venture if properly documented with full participant details. Successful respondents must commit to full compliance with DFATD’s administrative, technical, and operational frameworks, including mandatory use of DFATD’s online document management system for all project documentation, change management, shop drawings, RFIs, and progress reporting. A full-time project manager, fluent in English or French, must be present on-site throughout construction and serve as the primary liaison with DFATD. Work must be executed in eleven phased sections to ensure uninterrupted security, involving demolition of existing wall segments with structural support, new reinforced concrete wall construction, installation of two vehicle gates and one pedestrian door, excavation and grading with vegetation removal, landscaping reinstatement, construction of a new transformer hut in coordination with local utilities, and deployment of specialized equipment to accelerate timelines while maintaining safety. Strict noise, dust, and traffic controls must be implemented to minimize disruption to the residence and surrounding area. All submissions must adhere to a ten-page limit, formatted in 11-point font with 12mm margins, submitted electronically before the deadline of August 7, 2026, with no oral communications permitted during the solicitation period. Responses that fail to meet any mandatory requirement including experience, registration, formatting, or documentation standards will be declared non-responsive.
