The interested bidder should have completed a similar work of Rs 23 million, or two works of Rs 14.4 million each, or three works of Rs 11.5 million each.

The average annual turnover of the bidder should be at least Rs 7.1 million for the last three FYs and should have a profitable last FY. The net worth should not be less than 100% of the paid-up share capital.

Further, the bidding document mentions that the interested bidder should not have been blacklisted by central or state agencies.
