Using a login identity and a password given to them by the Corporation they can upload their tenders, Corporation Commissioner Anshul Mishra said after the launch of the facility.

Mayor R. Venkatachalam and officials of the Corporation were present at the launch and a discussion on the features of this facility.“As per the guidelines from the Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department, tenders for all the works costing above Rs.10 lakh should be submitted online,” the Commissioner said.“This system is so transparent that it eliminates room for discrimination that is possible in the manual process. It promotes open competition. It is so secure that no official or rival contractor can see the bids. Only the bidder who uploads it can see because of the login identity and the password,” the Commissioner said.
