Six construction firms, including three majors that have been awarded other Central Vista projects, applied for pre-qualification for the construction of the new “executive enclave” that will include the Prime Minister’s Office, according to Central Public Works Department (CPWD) sources on Wednesday.
The CPWD had invited pre-qualification bids for the
₹1,171-crore project on November 9, with Wednesday being the day for opening bids. A senior CPWD official said Tata Projects, Shapoorji Pallonji & Company and Larsen and Toubro, which have already won the contracts for the new Parliament, Central Vista Avenue redevelopment and three buildings of the Common Central Secretariat respectively, were among the firms that applied. The official said NCC Ltd, PSP Projects and Ahluwalia Contracts were the other three that had applied. Once the pre-qualification process was complete, the qualified firms would be asked to submit financial bids, the official said.
