File RTI for Tender Details- Fast & Secure
RTI (Right to Information) can be used to obtain detailed information about government tenders—such as bid evaluations, contracts, and tender committee proceedings—to ensure transparency and identify irregularities. Applications should be filed with the concerned Public Information Officer (PIO), requesting documents like the Letter of Acceptance, bid tabulations, and contractor details.
To obtain tender details through the Right to Information (RTI) Act, you can access information about both live and completed government contracts. Under the Act, It is best to request information after the contract has been awarded to avoid issues with "commercial confidence" exemptions,.public authorities are required to maintain transparency in their procurement and tendering processes
You can seek various documents related to a specific tender or a list of tenders over a period:
- Tender Documents: Notice Inviting Tenders (NIT), corrigenda, and technical specifications.
- Bidding Process: List of participating bidders, names of bidders who qualified technically, and their bid amounts.
- Evaluation Records: Minutes of the Tender Committee Meetings, comparative statements of bids, and criteria for selection.
Information that violates intellectual property or is strictly a trade secret of a third party may be exempted under Section 8 of the RTI Act.If the PIO refuses to provide information, a first appeal can be filed with the higher authority (First Appellate Authority).
