CVC guidelines were violated in Mithi cleaning tender process, asserts Cong

Mumbai Oct 3 (UNI) The clarification given by the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (BMC) on the allegations involving the tender process for Mithi river cleaning is an admission of irregularities, and that the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) guidelines were violated, said Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee spokesperson Sachin Sawant today.
In the tender for Mithi river cleaning, the turnover requirement for a pump manufacturing company was initially fixed at ₹50 crore. However, after the pre-bid meeting, this requirement was changed to Rs 210 crore. Since the pump manufacturer’s role is only to supply pumps to the contractor company, this change was deliberately made to prevent competition, Sawant said.
According to the CVC guidelines, after a tender is published, the eligibility criteria must not be made stricter in order to avoid reducing competition. Based on this clear guideline, Sachin Sawant had written to the Municipal Commissioner alleging irregularities in the tender process.
