So 10 bidders have put in bids for all 3 parts. Ranjit Buildcon for 2 parts, BBC-3 and 4, and Tata Projects for a single part of BBC-3.
Overall very good response. Wonder if DMRC will end up choosing the same company for all 3 sections.
I didn’t see any clause in the tender documents prohibiting a firm from getting awarded multiple contracts
