Bidders are required to submit earnest money in the form of bid security as specified, and must upload scanned copies of bank receipts as proof of deposit. The bidding process follows a single stage-single envelope e-bidding system, and all bids must be submitted electronically through the department's IT section portal. The deadline for bid submission and opening is 23rd May 2026 at 11:00 AM. Interested contractors should ensure their technical profiles are uploaded in PDF format and all required documents are complete to avoid disqualification. The tender documents and instructions can be downloaded from the bidder's dashboard after registration. A practical tip for bidders is to carefully review the engineering estimates and ensure that any bid below 10% of the estimate is accompanied by additional bid security equal to the difference, submitted in cash to the Divisional Joint Account. This will prevent disqualification and ensure compliance with tender rules. Bidders should also be mindful of the strict timelines for uploading original bank receipts and hard copies of documents within 48 hours after bid opening to maintain eligibility.
