BENGALURU: The Urban Development Department (UDD), Government of Karnataka has found discrepancies in the tender evaluation process of buying cleaning vehicles for Bruhat Bengaluru Mahangara Palike (BBMP).

The BBMP has undertaken the project to clean the Central Business District (CBD) under the Swachh Bengaluru project. For this purpose, a tender was invited for the purchase of five pressure jet cleaners, on June 10, 2021. It was for a three-year period and the entire cost came up to Rs 12.40 crore. There were three bidders for the tender, in total. The UDD found it dubious that BBMP chose the lowest bidder, which is 24 per cent lesser than the BBMP’s estimated cost of maintenance of the vehicles.

The Additional Chief Secretary of Urban Development Department has written to the BBMP asking them to clarify the matter.
