Ambala Cantt Accommodation Tender: MES Phase II KLP Work at the Cantonment (Rs 35.81 Cr)

MES is taking bids for phase II of KLP accommodation at Ambala Cantt on a ₹35.81 crore lump sum contract, and the Ambala Cantt accommodation tender closes at 6:00 PM on 2 December 2026.

Phase two of a contract agreement from 2024-25

The notice is titled against contract agreement CE CHZ/AMB/T-17/2024-25 and covers provision of KLP accommodation, phase II, at Ambala Cantt. The portal does not expand KLP, so take the building type and schedule from the tender document rather than assuming. The inviting authority is the Chief Engineer, Western Command and Chief Engineer Chandigarh Zone.

The contract agreement number carries a 2024-25 financial year, and the tender id itself begins 2025, which tells you this is a later call on a work that has been in the pipeline for a while. Phase I would have gone out separately, so ask at the pre-bid stage what has already been built on the site and what you are tying into.

800 days and a flat deposit

The estimate is ₹35,81,00,000 on a lump sum basis with 800 days, the longest period on any Haryana job open this month. Earnest money is ₹15,00,000 with exemption allowed, and the fee is ₹3,000. The notice was published on 31 July 2026 and bids open at 10:00 AM on 4 December.

Ambala is a busy station for MES at the moment. The much larger runway resurfacing contract at Air Force Station Ambala closes a week before this one, and a bidder with plant already in the area has an obvious advantage on mobilisation for both.

What to bring to a cantonment build

Phase II work on an occupied site is mostly about staying out of the way. Deliveries are timed, the working area is fenced tight, and you share access with residents. Compact plant wins: a backhoe loader for foundations and services, a pick and carry crane for lifting, and transit mixers rather than a site batching plant.

Over 800 days the real cost driver is how long machines sit waiting for a work front. Sequencing the blocks so one trade clears before the next arrives is worth more than a bigger fleet. Haryana also has the bus terminal package at Karnal, Pipli and Gurugram open if you want a second building front.
