Design and Construction Services for the Redevelopment Project for the Embassy of Canada to Ethiopia, in Addis Ababa
Solicitation # 27-320100
The Government of Canada, through the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development, is initiating a two-stage procurement process to select a qualified Design-Builder for the redevelopment of the Embassy of Canada’s chancery in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The initial stage is an Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) with a submission deadline of September 2, 2026, aimed at pre-qualifying respondents based on their capability to deliver comprehensive design and construction services under a single-point responsibility model. Only those who meet mandatory technical criteria, including demonstrated capacity to execute projects in Addis Ababa, will be invited to submit formal proposals in the subsequent Request for Proposal phase. The anticipated project involves designing and constructing a new 3,000 square meter chancery on existing crown land to accommodate 75 full-time employees, while ensuring the operational continuity of the current facility throughout the project lifecycle. All work must comply with DFATD’s operational and physical security standards, interior design guidelines, and require integration of professional disciplines including architecture, structural, seismic, mechanical, electrical, telecommunications, sustainability, and audiovisual systems. Respondents must submit a technical proposal not exceeding 14 single-sided pages, formatted for 8.5” x 11” or A4 paper, and must include completed annexes certifying past project experience, corporate identity, and the accuracy of all submitted information. Proposals must be electronically submitted as PDF or Microsoft Office files under 20 MB, with no links to external storage or executable code permitted. Assessment will be based on a weighted scoring system evaluating three completed projects of at least CAD$15 million each, with regional preference given to projects in East Africa and elsewhere in Africa, and additional points awarded for evidence of integrated design-build team delivery. Failure to submit required certifications or to meet the mandatory capacity-to-work-in-Ethiopia criterion will result in non-responsiveness. The project is expected to be completed within 2.5 years of contract award, with substantial completion defined by usability thresholds and defect cost limits tied to the contract value. Bonding, insurance, and payment terms will be detailed in the RFP stage, and qualified respondents must agree to confidentiality prior to receiving further documentation. All work must adhere to Ethiopian regulatory requirements, with noisy construction activities restricted to off-hours due to the operational needs of the existing embassy.
