NEW DELHI: In a bid to increase competition and transparency in the engineering contracts awarded by it, All India Institute of Medical Sciences'(AIIMS) administration has decided to allow contractors empanelled with MES, railways, and other central PSUs to participate in the tender process. Till now, only contractors registered with CPWD were awarded works at the institute.
In an office memorandum issued by the director of the institute, stated that he has been informed by nursing officers, who have been allowed accommodation in Ayur Vigyan Nagar Campus that their renovation of their house is pending for more than a year. On preliminary enquiry, it was found that the tenders for the said campus have not been finalized due to lack of competition and complaints. Accordingly it is desired that tenders for all pending works in AV Nagar shall be expeditiously finalised within the next one month and the work shall be completed before July 2023.
