PWD Tenders are Big Business

India has, nowadays, superseded the concept of LPG and is in a race with itself to set its mark. The Public Works Department is a central or state government owned authority that has the whole sole responsibility of almost all the public sector tasks in the country. Under Ministry of Urban Development, PWD takes care of construction and maintenance of buildings of almost all the government departments, public undertakings and autonomous bodies.

To make all these constructional and development plans see their completion phase, PWD issues tender. The PWD is the central source for all these tenders. Through these tenders, PWD calls out for private players to take the responsibility of these tasks and make the projects successful.

These days, the concept of e-tenders is becoming the talk of the town. Some of the points worth noticing related to e-tenders would be:

•    The e-tendering system was introduced to improve efficiency, eliminate corruption, and ensure transparency in whatever work done, be it building roads or highways or painting walls of a building.
•    One can easily download tender forms from the concerned websites and portals.
•    The contractors are supposed to sign their bids for submission with the help of digital certificates.
•    With the increasing influence of e-tenders, PWD now projects to make even the online submission as well as submission of tenders reach the web.

With the issue of the PWD tenders, the expectations are the best work to be done, with minimum cost incurred and timelines kept. The completion of work in time bound manner helps the government avoid escalation because of delay in completion of the assigned projects.

The tenders for PWD can cover any task ranging from small, large to very large scale. These can be issued for either painting the walls of some government structure, setting up the building of some upcoming organisation or build a bridge or a national highway.

Though one has to face very tough competition for any given PWD tender, if one successfully acquires it by following all the rules and being cautious about each move, he can not only give his business fame but also growth having worked on national-level projects.

One should always research well before quoting prices. These must cover both fixed as well as the variable costs for the complete work inclusive of all taxes, costs and charges. Obviously, if performed to one’s best, the options of him grabbing further PWD tenders increases manifolds. The immense opportunities that a PWD tender enfolds are made clear by the fact that as soon as the task of building a particular structure is over, the tenders would again be issued for their timely maintenance. So, this certainly is long term growth in disguise. In all, PWD tenders bring one parallel to the government giving him the opportunity to work and earn fame in his field of work.
