The Army is building barrack accommodation for Agniveers at its Kumaon hill station, and the ₹30.03 crore Ranikhet Agniveer tender closes at 6:00 PM on 5 December 2026.
What OTM accommodation means
Military Engineer Services, through the Chief Engineer Central Command and Chief Engineer Bareilly Zone, has tendered provision of other than married accommodation for Agniveers at Ranikhet, reference CEBZ/PGH/T-40 OF 2026-27. The contract is lump-sum at ₹30,03,48,000. Other than married accommodation is the service term for barrack blocks for personnel without families on station, so the scope is living blocks with their ablutions, dining and ancillary facilities.
Agniveer intakes under the Agnipath scheme have created a steady run of accommodation work across cantonments. Ranikhet is a long established station in Almora district, which means building inside an existing cantonment with services already in the ground.
Terms, and the hill station constraint
EMD is ₹15,00,000 with exemption allowed, and the fee is ₹3,000, the usual MES pattern where enlistment class does the screening rather than the deposit. Bids open at 12:00 noon on 12 December. The portal does not state a period of work, so take that from the document.
Ranikhet sits at about 1,800 metres, so winter slows concrete and finishing work without stopping it the way Ladakh does. Material comes up from the Haldwani side on hill roads, which limits delivery sizes. Other hill work open now includes the Tehri village infrastructure tender, and for comparison on the building side there is the MES officers accommodation tender at Pune.
Machines you can get up the hill
Access decides the plant list. Full size tippers and large machines struggle on cantonment roads at this altitude, so most contractors work with a backhoe loader and a compact excavator for foundations, trenching and site clearing. Concrete is often batched on site because transit mixer access is awkward, which means a mixer setup and a small wheel loader handling aggregate. A pick-and-carry crane is the practical choice for lifting formwork and steel in a tight cantonment plot. External works and approach roads finish behind a small compactor.
