The Central Public Works Department, or CPWD, the central government’s premier agency tasked with carrying out public sector works, on Thursday announced changes in its e-tendering processes.
The process was made more transparent after the CPWD vigilance unit found some of its officers “indulging in malpractices” in the e-tendering process while inviting bids through tenderwizard.com/CPWD portal.
The CPWD comes under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, and constructs buildings, roads, flyovers, stadiums, border fending, border roads and also such structures like the parliament building of Afghanistan.
The changes were announced in an “office memorandum” issued on Thursday by its DDG (e-governance) RM Niranjan.
