PRADHAN MANTRI GRAM SADAK YOJANA Tenders

PMGSY is a flagship scheme of the Government of India designed to provide all-weather road connectivity to un-connected rural habitations, and to upgrade existing rural roads.

Under PMGSY tenders, the scope includes new road construction, upgradation, periodic renewal, minor bridges, and allied civil works. Vendors must comply with the e-procurement portal norms, produce required eligibility documents, and submit bids online.

The dedicated portal for PMGSY e-tenders allows free download of tender schedules and online bid submission.

Vendors should monitor the following key functional segments:

1. New Connectivity Works: Construction of roads linking habitations previously unconnected to all-weather roads.

2. Upgradation / Renewal Works: Upgrading existing rural roads to higher technical standards or renewal of existing roads under PMGSY packages.

3. Minor Bridges & Culverts: Tenders for construction of small bridges or culverts as part of the rural-road network.

4. Supply & Services / Maintenance Contracts: Though predominantly works, some tenders may include service components such as maintenance of formed roads or related civil items.

5. State-Specific Road Agencies: Each state executes PMGSY works via its rural roads development agencies (SRRDA) or equivalent, so vendors should watch state-specific portals.

By aligning your business expertise—whether civil works, equipment supply, or maintenance services—to one of these categories, you enhance your relevance for PMGSY tenders.

Here’s a practical vendor-step-by-step process for bidding on PMGSY tenders:

1. Registration: Ensure your firm is registered on the appropriate e-procurement portal (for instance the PMGSY portal) and you have valid PAN, GST, bank account details, past experience certificates if required.

2. Monitor tender announcements: Use the PMGSY eProcurement portal (or state portal) and enable alerts for new tenders. Filters for “Works”, “New Connectivity” or “Upgradation” help.

3. Download tender documents: Obtain the NIT, scope of works (BOQ), terms & conditions, EMD or bid-security, submission timeline, eligibility criteria.

4. Prepare technical and financial bids:

4.1. Technical bid should include company profile, previous experience (in rural roads or civil works), manpower/equipment capability, statutory documents.

4.2. Financial bid should cover rates, cost break-down, taxes, completion schedule.

4.3. Ensure compliance with special conditions (for example, local content, mandatory registration) if any.

5. Submit bid online before deadline: Upload the documents as per portal instructions; late submissions are normally rejected.

6. Bid opening & evaluation: The portal will typically show technical evaluation followed by financial opening. Vendors can track results under “Tenders Status”.

7. Award & execution: On award, sign contract, mobilise resources, execute the works per schedule and invoice as per contract terms.

The primary portal for PMGSY tendering is the official e-Procurement System of PMGSY (pmgsytenders.gov.in) which lists tender notices, allows free downloads and online submission.

States also run linked portals (for example Maharashtra, Himachal Pradesh etc) where state-specific PMGSY packages are posted.

Vendors should bookmark these portals, set filters for category and closing dates, and subscribe alerts to ensure timely action.
