Petitioner has prayed for following relief(s) :-

“1. (a) To quash the tender notice contained in Tender Reference No.BMSIC/MSPBSHSD/22-01 dated 04.02.2022 was issued under the signature of General Manager (Procurement), Bihar Medical Services & Infrastructure Corporation (Resp.

(b) To constitute an enquiry committee headed by either sitting or retired Hon'ble Judges of this Hon'ble High Court or direct any of the Central Investigation Agency to make an appropriate inquiry against the manner in which the tender in question has been issued, as for:-

i. In the tender in question, Clause 6 (Approach and Methodology) and 7 (Technical Presentation and Functional Demonstration) of the Technical Evaluation Criteria has arbitrarily been assigned 25 and 50 marks respectively out of a total of 100 marks meaning thereby that assessment for 75 out of 100 is purely on discretion of decision makers and, hence, absolutely non-transparent.

ii. Instead of technical experts, IAS Officers e.g. Sri Dinesh Kumar (IAS), Chairman, [MD, BMSICL], Sri Anshul Agrawal (IAS), Jt. Secretary, Health Department as well as Sri Rajnikant (BAS) [CJM, Supply Chain, BMSICL], Sri Satish Ranjan Sinha, OSD to Acs, Health Department, Mr. Zahid Latif [representative of BELTRON) were part of the Technical Experts Committee.

iii. It has also been learnt by the petitioner that even the tender paper have not been prepared by the Bihar Medical Services & Infrastructure Corporation (BMSICL) itself rather the same was prepared by the Health Department and forwarded to it for the purpose only to finalize the same.

(c) And, for any other relief(s), which is in the PUBLIC INTERST at large in the given facts and circumstances of this case.”
