Rural Works Department Tender

The bidder should have satisfactorily completed as a prime contractor or subcontractor at least one similar work of an agreement of value not less than 25% of the amount put to bid. This indicates that the required prior work experience includes completing a similar work with a value of at least 25% of the bid amount. For instance, if the bid amount is considered as 100%, then the bidder must have completed a similar work with a value of at least 25% of this amount. The cutoff date for considering experience certificates of similar work is the last date of the month before the last date of receipt of tender, which implies that the experience should be recent and relevant. Additionally, the bidder's annual financial turnover should be at least 50% of the amount put to bid, with at least 50% of this turnover coming from civil engineering construction works. This further emphasizes the importance of relevant experience and financial capability in relation to the bid amount. In the case of a Joint Venture, the lead partner should meet not less than 50% of the qualification criteria, and each of the remaining partners should meet not less than 25% of all the qualifying criteria, indicating a distribution of experience and capability among partners. Therefore, the required prior work experience for the bidder includes completing similar works with a value of at least 25% of the bid amount, achieving a minimum annual financial turnover of 50% of the bid amount (with 50% from civil engineering construction works), and demonstrating recent relevant experience up to the cutoff date.
