New Delhi: In an effort to increase transparency and competition in its engineering contracts, the premier health institution, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) New Delhi, has issued a memorandum allowing contractors empanelled with MES, railways and other central PSUs to participate in the tendering process.
To increase confidence amongst prospective bidders, the engineering contracting system will also be modified. One team of engineers will prepare the estimates and finalise the tender while the other team will monitor the execution of the contract and make payment to the contractors in a timely manner, the memorandum issued on April 27 stated.
