MP Housing and Infrastructure Development Board has invited lump-sum bids of Rs 256.92 crore to rebuild the Bhopal Collectorate campus with three office blocks and a multilevel parking structure, closing 20 August 2026.
The package covers a new Collectorate, a Divisional Commissioner office, an Inspector General office and multilevel parking, all on the existing Collectorate campus in central Bhopal. The Bhopal Collectorate tender comes from MPHIDB Circle-II through the Executive Engineer, Division 03, Bhopal, under reference RFP/Selection of Developer dated 30 July 2026. Earnest money is Rs 1,29,00,000, half a percent of the estimate, with a Rs 59,000 fee.
Four buildings on one working campus
Product category on the listing is Composite Works and the contract form is lump sum across three covers, with 180-day bid validity. The document set runs to a 22.5 MB BOQ plus two RFP volumes and a separate price bid, and the file names mark this as a second call, so the earlier round did not conclude. The harder part of the job is not the built area, it is doing it on a campus that stays in use. Phasing, temporary access for the public and staff, and demolition alongside live offices all sit inside the price.
Why the word developer is misleading here
The title says selection of developer, which usually signals a concession or a land parcel rather than a works contract. This one is different, and the paperwork proves it. The estimate is disclosed at Rs 256.92 crore, there is a full priced BOQ, the category is Works, and past bidders for this authority are ordinary civil contractors. You are pricing construction on a lump-sum basis, not bidding for development rights.
Equipment on a city-centre campus job
Demolition and basement excavation for the parking structure come first, so excavators with breaker attachments and backhoe loaders for the tight corners do the early running. Muck removal from a constrained plot keeps wheel loaders busy through the cut. Structure work then leans on cranes for material hoisting across four blocks and concrete mixers feeding raft and slab pours, with compactors on backfill and the surface works around the campus. Contractors adding machines against an 180-day validity and a lump-sum bill cycle can read our equipment finance guide first.

Is this a PPP or a straight construction contract?
A straight construction contract. The estimate is disclosed, there is a priced BOQ and the category is Works on a lump-sum basis. The developer wording in the title is the board’s phrasing for a turnkey contractor.
What does second call mean for bidders?
The RFP volume is filed as a second call, so an earlier round did not result in an award. It often means the field was thin or bids fell outside the estimate, which is worth factoring into how you price the risk items.
How much time is there to bid?
Submission opened on 1 August 2026 and closes on 20 August 2026, with opening the next day. That is a short window for a 22.5 MB BOQ, so download it on day one.
Has a corrigendum been issued?
None had been issued at the time of listing. Check the portal before you submit, since a second-call tender can be amended late.
