The Delhi Development Authority has extended the deadline for bids to appoint transaction advisers for 15 in-situ slum redevelopment projects covering 45 JJ clusters across the city, keeping the tender process open until November 17.
The extension was announced through a corrigendum dated November 13. According to the DDA, the deadline for online submission of proposals under the re-invited tender was moved from November 13 to November 17 for administrative reasons. The tender is being handled by the authority’s Southern Project Division 4.
The proposed redevelopment programme covers 21,299 households spread across 135.74 acres. The projects have been divided into three lots, with each lot comprising five projects. Together, the three lots cover all 15 projects and the 45 identified JJ clusters.
The DDA plans to engage three transaction advisers empanelled with either the Department of Economic Affairs or the National Land Monetisation Corporation. The estimated assignment value is Rs 2.75 crore per lot, while the completion period for the assignment has been set at one year.
The advisers will be responsible for preparing feasibility studies, layouts and bid documents for the redevelopment projects. These documents are expected to form the basis for selecting developers for the in-situ projects. The DDA will provide beneficiary details for the clusters covered by the tender.
In-situ redevelopment involves planning the improvement or reconstruction of settlements at their existing location rather than moving residents to a separate site. For the 45 JJ clusters included in this tender, the scale of the programme is defined by the number of households and the land area covered, while the tender documents will determine how individual projects are assessed and taken forward.
The appointment of transaction advisers is an early institutional step in the process. Their feasibility studies will examine the project conditions and help prepare the layouts and bidding framework required for developer selection. The tender therefore covers the preparation of the documents needed to move the projects towards implementation, rather than the appointment of redevelopment contractors themselves.
The DDA’s latest corrigendum changes the immediate procurement milestone but does not alter the number of projects, clusters or households covered under the re-invited tender. Online proposals must now be submitted by November 17, after which the authority will proceed with the tender process for the three lots.
