An architectural consultant for the proposed Institute of Organ Transplantation in Kozhikode is expected to be announced in the next few days.
The last date to submit tender documents was September 25.
According to sources, four companies have thrown their hat in the ring. HLL Infra Tech Services Limited (HITES), the project consultant, had extended the last date for submission of documents a couple of times. According to the initial ‘Request for Proposal’ in the global tender enquiry published on August 14 by HITES, the last date for tender application was September 4. Later, it was extended to September 18, reportedly following requests from bidders, who sought at least two more months for the submission of tender documents. The technical bid for e-tendering was proposed to be opened on September 19. The agency extended the last date again to September 25. The technical bids were opened on September 26.
