DDA Adopts Swiss Challenge for Tenders
The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) is introducing a new way to handle tenders for selling land and big projects.
This new method, called the Swiss Challenge, lets the first bid be public and invites others to bid higher.
This way, DDA ensures they get a better price and avoid delays caused by only one bid.
It's a first for DDA and aims to make the process fairer and more competitive.
DDA adopts Swiss Challenge method to end single-bid tender delays.
First-of-its-kind reform for disposing of land and high-value projects.
Method ensures DDA secures amount higher than reserve price.
Applicable to both sales and long-term licenses.
Aims to prevent repeated tender cancellations due to single bids.
