Four bids, including one from Tata Projects which is constructing the new Parliament building, were received in response to the tender for construction and maintenance of three buildings of the proposed Common Central Secretariat, according to Central Public Works Department (CPWD) officials on Tuesday.
The technical bids for the ₹3,254-crore project were opened on Tuesday, revealing bids from Tata Projects, L&T Construction, NCC Ltd. and Uttar Pradesh Rajkiya Nirman Nigam, a U.P. government undertaking, an official said. The bids would be assessed to see if they qualify and a date for opening of financial bids would be announced once the documents are evaluated, the official said.
As part of the Central Vista redevelopment, the CPWD has proposed construction of 10 Secretariat buildings to house all Central Ministries. It had floated the modified tender for the construction of the first three of those buildings to be made at the site of the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA) campus in June. The opening of bids had been postponed several times before finally being opened on Tuesday.
