Dear all,
As I was short by space I am continueing.
Is there any guidelines or directives from CVC or any govt authority which governs tendering , which gives authority to govt organisation like defence to prepare bench rate ( reasonable rate ) by analyzing market and include it in tender condition . so that a bidder quoting below that bench rate be disqualified and bidder quoting reasonable rate be awarded. This May stop the exploitation of labourers and contractor can be forced to pay minimum wages and fulfil all compliances.
Thanks
