Missamari Accommodation Tender: MES Married Quarters at Missamari Military Station, Assam (Rs 102 Cr)

Military Engineer Services is building Rs 102 crore of family quarters at Missamari Military Station in Assam, and the Missamari accommodation tender closes at 06:00 PM on 13 November 2026.

Making up a shortfall of family quarters

The portal title reads PROVN OF DEFI MD ACCN AT MISSAMARI MIL STATION UNDER GE MISSAMARI. In MES language that is provision of the deficiency in married accommodation, meaning the station is short of family quarters and this contract makes up the gap. The notice comes from the E-in-C Branch through the Chief Engineer, Siliguri Zone, under reference 98840/MISM/SZ/E8, and the Garrison Engineer at Missamari is the executing office.

The stated value is Rs 1,02,00,00,000 on a lump-sum contract with 900 days. At that size the scope will be several blocks of quarters with their external services rather than a single building, though the portal summary does not break it down, so the bill of quantities in the bid document is where the detail sits.

Why the deposit looks small

The deposit is Rs 15,00,000 against a Rs 102 crore contract, which is 0.147 per cent. That is not an error and it is not a value misparse. MES uses a flat earnest money figure regardless of contract value, so a bidder should not read the small deposit as a sign of a smaller job. The fee is Rs 3,000 and bids open at 10:00 AM on 20 November, a week after closing.

The notice was published on 24 September, so there has been a reasonable window on this one. MES has similar accommodation work live at Ranikhet in the Kumaon hills and 126 dwelling units at Delhi Cantt.

Two and a half years of building work

Residential blocks at a military station are a steady, repetitive build, which suits a contractor who can set up once and keep going. Excavators handle the foundations and the external services trenching, backhoe loaders cover the day to day work around the blocks once the structure is up, and transit mixers with a crane serve the frames floor by floor. Wheel loaders keep the batching plant and the stockyard moving, and compactors finish the internal roads and parking at the end. Missamari sits in the Sonitpur belt where the monsoon is long and heavy, so the 900 day programme has to put the structural work in the dry months.
