MP PWD Bid Capacity Formula (A×N×2−B) Explained: Calculator & Technical Bid Guide

1. Understanding Every Letter in (A × N × 2) − B

Whether you are bidding for a road, building, bridge, or electrical contract on mptenders.gov.in, the tender evaluation committee checks whether your available bid capacity is equal to or greater than the Probable Amount of Contract (PAC):

• A (Maximum Annual Turnover): The highest value of civil or electrical engineering works executed by you in any single financial year during the last 5 years. Older years are multiplied by an inflation weightage factor (typically 8% or 10% per year) to bring them to current price levels.
• N (Completion Period in Years): The number of years prescribed in the Notice Inviting Tender (NIT) for completing the project (for example, 0.5 for 6 months, 1.0 for 12 months, 1.5 for 18 months).
• B (Existing Commitments / Ongoing Works): The value of balance work remaining to be executed on all your existing contracts during the period N.

2. Practical Example for an MP Contractor (Hinglish Step-by-Step)

Maan lijiye aap Bhopal ya Indore ke ek registered MP PWD contractor hain aur aap ₹ 2.00 Crore (₹ 200 Lakhs) ke road tender me bid karna chahte hain jiska completion period 12 Months (N = 1.0 Year) hai:

• Pichle 5 saal me aapka sabse zyada civil work turnover 1 saal pehle ₹ 150 Lakhs tha. 8% weightage factor (1.08) lagane ke baad Updated A = ₹ 162 Lakhs.
• Gross Capacity = 162 × 1.0 × 2 = ₹ 324 Lakhs.
• Aapke paas abhi ₹ 80 Lakhs ka ongoing work bacha hua hai (B = ₹ 80 Lakhs).
• Net Assessed Bid Capacity = 324 − 80 = ₹ 244 Lakhs (₹ 2.44 Crore). Kyunki ₹ 244 Lakhs tender ke ₹ 200 Lakhs PAC se zyada hai, aap 100% Eligible hain!

3. Why Technical Bids Get Disqualified on Bid Capacity

Departmental engineers do not accept plain self-declarations. Your bid capacity calculation must match:

1. UDIN-Verified CA Turnover Certificate: Showing year-wise civil/electrical work receipts over the last 5 audited financial years.
2. Affidavit of Existing Commitments (B): Listing every ongoing work order, agreement number, total contract value, work completed till date, and balance work in hand. Hiding an ongoing MP PWD or WRD work order leads to immediate technical rejection under the suppression of facts clause.
3. Bank Solvency / CA Net Worth Certificate: Validated within the timeframe prescribed in the NIT.
