The consultancy work for the 100 MW solar project should be completed within 15 months, whereas the floating solar project is expected to take 30 months.

The deadline for bid submissions is July 3, 2023, and the bids will be opened on the same day.

Additionally, the consultant should have prior experience as an owner’s or lender’s engineer for solar projects with a cumulative capacity of 100 MW or more, including at least one floating solar project in the past seven years.

Furthermore, the consultant should have achieved an average annual turnover of Rs 27 million ($327,532) in the last three years.
