Novacare Hospitals (Private) Limited has awarded Izhar Construction (Pvt) Limited, one of Pakistan’s leading construction contracting companies, the main civil works contract for its forthcoming 250-bed hospital in DHA Phase 5, Islamabad.
This marks a significant milestone in Novacare’s plans to establish Pakistan’s most advanced hospital. Novacare remains committed to upholding world-class construction quality standards, stringent health & safety protocols, and embracing environmental sustainability & social responsibility.
Novacare ran a competitive tendering process for this package, in which nine firms in Pakistan Engineering Council’s top category (C1) bid for the project. Izhar was deemed technically the strongest bidder and the project team weighted both the financial proposals and technical evaluation in its final recommendation to the Novacare board to award the package to Izhar.
We feel privileged to partner with a firm like Izhar. Izhar brings deep expertise and a proven track record in the construction industry in Pakistan. We feel especially aligned with them in our ethos & values: delivering excellence, working against ambitious timelines, prioritizing stringent health & safety standards, and leveraging technology to streamline all aspects of project delivery. Insha Allah, with the collaboration of Izhar and our other project partners, we will set a new benchmark for healthcare construction projects in Pakistan.
Phase 1 of the hospital project spans approximately 590,000 square feet across 12 floors, including 2 basements. The structural frame is slated for completion by Q4 of 2025. In the coming months, Novacare plans to tender additional construction packages for the hospital, encompassing MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing), HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) systems, and all finishing works.
The award of the main civil contract signifies a pivotal moment in the project’s progression. With this milestone, Novacare reaffirms its mission, purpose, and commitment to enhancing years of quality of life within our families and communities, while creating an unrivalled professional environment for the next generation of outstanding Pakistani healthcare practitioners.
