Bidder Information Management System (BIMS)

The Minister for Road Transport & Highways, Shipping, Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation has launched Bidder Information Management System (BIMS) and Bhoomi Rashi and PFMS linkage - two IT initiatives of the Road Transport & Highways Ministry that are aimed at expediting pre-construction processes relating to bidding and land acquisition respectively.

• BIMS is aimed at streamlining the process of pre-qualification of bidders for EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) Mode of contracts for National Highway works with enhanced transparency and objectivity. The portal will work as a data base of information about bidders, covering basic details, civil works experience, cash accruals and network, annual turnover etc.
• It is estimated that BIMS portal will significantly reduce the procurement time for projects through an objective and transparent online evaluation system thereby leading to accelerated project implementation.
