The second part of a phased military works programme at Katihar is open for bids: the ₹108 crore Katihar technical building tender closes at 6:00 PM on 27 November 2026.
Phase two of two, part two
Military Engineer Services wants provision of a technical building and allied works, phase II of two phases, part 2, at Katihar under AGE I Katihar. The tender comes from CE Eastern Command and CE Siliguri Zone, reference 98807-A/BENG/SZ/E8, as a lump-sum contract with 900 days.
A technical building in services usage is a working block rather than housing: workshops, stores, offices and technical accommodation, with the allied works covering internal roads, drainage, water supply and external services. Because this is part 2 of a phase, some site development is likely already done, which shortens mobilisation for whoever wins.
Reading the MES bid terms
EMD is a flat ₹15,00,000 and the fee is ₹3,000. As always with MES, enlistment class and your completed-works record decide whether the bid is worth preparing. The notice went up on 23 October, so the window is already half gone, and bids open on 4 December.
Workshop and store blocks are wide-span structures with heavy floors, so expect large pour volumes and steel erection. Transit mixers and a crane for trusses and precast cover the structural stage, while backhoe loaders run foundations, cable trenches and drains throughout. An excavator earns its keep in the first months on the plinth and service corridors, and the hardstanding and internal roads at the end need a compactor and a wheel loader. Contractors based in Purnea, Katihar or Siliguri have the shortest supply chain.
