The tendering process is crucial in the construction industry, ensuring the selection of the right contractor with the lowest bid. This study examines the tendering process adopted by CPWD in detail. Through extensive literature review and data collection via a structured questionnaire, the research identified the significance of the 10cc clause, ranked highest by contractors. The Relative Importance Index (RII) method revealed a range from 0.906667 to 0.613333. The study emphasizes the benefits of e-tendering, advocating for enhanced focus on pre-tender preparation, team formation, document management, bid strategy development, cost estimation, proposal writing, quality assurance, submission process, and post-submission follow-up. This research provides civil engineers with a comprehensive understanding of the tendering process from the contractors' perspective.
