Tender Overview

The procurement is issued by Bhilai Steel Plant (Steel Authority of India Limited) for Mine Development and Operation Service (Lump Sum Based) in the Durg, Chhattisgarh 490001 region. The open cast iron ore mining contract carries an estimated value of ₹453,828,000 with an EMD of ₹2,000,000. The BOQ contains zero items, indicating a lump-sum scope rather than itemized quantities. No product-specific technical specifications are published in the tender data, so bidders must rely on general mining service capabilities and experience in large-scale open cast operations. The tender emphasizes service delivery and project management under a government mining procurement framework. A unique aspect is the absence of a BOQ, suggesting a single consolidated price for the complete mining development and operation work package.
