1. Overview of the System


An online portal called Bidder Information Management System (BIMS) has been
launched by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, where all potential bidders will
be required to maintain an updated list of all their on-going and completed projects along
with supporting documents such as statutory auditor certificates, certificate from the
agency for which the project was executed etc. All other necessary information required
for technical evaluation such as the audited financial statements etc. will also be
maintained on this portal by the bidder. This portal shall be a single repository for all the
projects and the basic details of the bidders. This will eliminate multiple submission of the
same documents for every bid and also reduce the time in applying for bids.
The system is aimed to aid the bidders in reducing the creation of documents that are
consistent across bids and hence, make the tender application process more convenient.
This portal will be maintained in conjunction with the CPP portal for running the tendering
process. CPP will continue to be used for submission of financial bids and the
determination of L1 bidder. To begin the process on BIMS, the bidder will have to register
on the platform and upload details. The authority, on its part, would be required to invite
bids on this portal by filling in few basic details and uploading the RFP documents. The
bidders can then apply to any specific tender which will be followed by technical
evaluation. The system will also allow the bidders to view the final evaluated results of
the tender on the portal.
The Bidder Information Management System has different interfaces for different
stakeholders. The bidders can access the portal via the bidder interface. This interface
allows the bidders to enter and update details about the company and the projects
undertaken, to be used while evaluation of submitted bids later. The interface also
services as a bid application and submission platform for the tenders floated by MoRTH,
NHAI and NHIDCL. The system can be accessed at the link: bims.gov.in.

2. Objectives of this document


This document shall be considered as a user manual for all the companies that would
want to apply for tenders for civil works floated by Ministry of Road Transport and
Highways and its implementation agencies. The document provides step by step
processes for registering on the BIMS portal, adding & maintaining data and applying to
the relevant tenders.
