What is Department of Works and Highways?
Papua New Guinea's Department of Works and Highways (DWH) is the national agency responsible for the national road network, bridges, and government building infrastructure. It tenders highway rehabilitation, bridge construction, road maintenance, and civil works contracts funded through the national budget and major multilateral development bank programmes. The department operates in one of the most challenging terrain and logistics environments of any national road authority in the world.

Key procurement sectors
Papua New Guinea procurement landscape
Papua New Guinea's national road network covers terrain that ranges from coastal lowlands to mountain ranges exceeding 4,000 metres, with high rainfall, difficult access, and seismic activity all complicating road construction and maintenance. This geographic reality directly shapes tender requirements: tenders for major works typically demand documented experience working in remote, high-rainfall tropical environments, and contractors must demonstrate capacity for self-sufficient mobilisation with minimal external logistics support. The Connect PNG programme is the government's most significant current road investment initiative, bundling major national highway rehabilitation packages — among the largest civil works contracts awarded in PNG's history. Financing comes primarily from the Asian Development Bank and World Bank, and these donor-financed tenders follow the applicable multilateral procurement rules, which override DWH's national procedures. Bridge replacement is a persistent category given the age and condition of much of the existing structure stock. Road maintenance contracts — covering routine grading, drainage, and emergency repairs — are regularly tendered for separate regional packages.
Bidding on Papua New Guinea tenders.
For ADB and World Bank-financed contracts, vendors must meet the applicable multilateral bank's eligibility requirements and procurement rules. For domestically funded tenders, PNG national procurement rules apply. Pre-qualification for major highway packages typically requires demonstrated track records of comparable-scale projects in comparable operating environments.

🇵🇬 Papua New Guinea →Department of Works and Highways — FAQ.
What is the Connect PNG programme? +
Connect PNG is the national government's major road network investment initiative, packaging major highway rehabilitation contracts across the country. It is financed primarily through ADB and World Bank loans, generating some of the largest civil works tenders in PNG.
Why do PNG road tenders require remote-environment experience? +
PNG's terrain — high mountains, heavy rainfall, limited road access, and no rail network — means contractors must operate in conditions requiring specialised equipment and logistics self-sufficiency rarely needed in more accessible markets.
Which procurement rules govern Connect PNG tenders? +
ADB and World Bank-financed contracts follow the respective bank's procurement regulations — not PNG's national rules. These frameworks require standard international competitive bidding procedures and specific eligibility and integrity requirements.
Are international construction firms competitive in PNG? +
Yes. Major highway packages regularly attract international civil contractors given the scale and technical complexity. Local PNG firms typically participate in smaller maintenance and subcontracting roles.
What types of structures does DWH tender? +
DWH tenders cover highway rehabilitation and resealing, bridge replacement and rehabilitation, flood-damaged road reinstatement, slope stabilisation, and major culvert and drainage works.
How does Hook help with PNG Works procurement? +
Hook aggregates DWH, ADB, and World Bank project procurement notices for PNG in a plain-English searchable interface — letting civil contractors and consultants monitor Connect PNG and other highway programme opportunities without checking multiple donor portals.
