Summary:
Indore: After receiving poor response to tenders floated offline by Madhya Pradesh State Bamboo Mission (MPSBM) for two of its projects on research into supply and demand of bamboo in and around the state, the department has now issued tenders.The MPSBM needs separate agencies to carry out the two projects. This time through e-tendering we have received six bids for the project of surveying bamboo and its product demands. The first project is for surveying demand for bamboo and its products in Madhya Pradesh, types of demands- domestic, industrial, commercial- and how are they currently being met. Thereafter, inlet and outlet of bamboo in the state will be assessed and lastly, the requirement of bamboo in domestic mandis will be evaluated.“Last time, we did not receive a positive response to the tenders. The survey will be done by analysing demand in major cities of MP- Indore, Bhopal, Jabalpur and neighbouring states- Nagpur, Nashik, Ahmadabad and Vadodara..
