Overview

The Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) invited online bids for: Hiring of Land Acquisition Facilitating Consultant for Land Acquisition for GMADA The tender was invited by the: Land Acquisition Collector, GMADA, S.A.S. Nagar through: Divisional Engineer (C-3), GMADA

What Was GMADA Hiring?

GMADA was seeking a professional: Land Acquisition Facilitating Consultant to assist the authority with its land-acquisition-related work. The short notice does not provide the detailed scope of services, deliverables, staffing requirements or consultancy period. Those details would have been contained in the complete Tender/RFP documents on the Punjab e-procurement portal.

Is This for a Specific Land Acquisition Project?

No specific:

• village;
• sector;
• road;
• township;
• Khasra number; or
• acreage

is mentioned in this notice. It is therefore best described as a general land-acquisition consultancy tender for GMADA, rather than linking it to any single acquisition project.

Closing Date and Time

The last date and time for online bid submission was: 24 January 2025 at 11:00 AM

Notice Date

The endorsement is dated: 2 January 2025

Tender / Endorsement Reference

The notice shows: GMADA/DE (C-3)/2024/01-05 dated: 02 January 2025 Although the reference contains “2024,” the notice itself is dated in January 2025. The number should therefore be reproduced exactly as shown rather than altered.

Where Were Bids Submitted?

Tender details were available on the Punjab Government e-procurement portal: eproc.punjab.gov.in

Corrigenda

The notice states that any corrigendum relating to the Tender/RFP would be published only on the e-procurement website. Therefore, any later:

• extension;
• amendment;
• correction;
• cancellation; or
• other tender change

would need to be checked from the official portal.

Relationship With the Earlier November 2024 Tender

GMADA had also published an earlier notice for the same work with a closing date of: 25 November 2024 at 11:00 AM This January 2025 notice again invites bids for the same consultancy service, but the supplied document does not state whether:

• the earlier tender was cancelled;
• no suitable bidder was selected;
• the procurement was re-issued;
• the previous process was extended; or
• this was a fresh tender.

For gmada.in, the safest wording is: “A later GMADA tender notice for the same consultancy work was issued in January 2025 with a closing date of 24 January 2025.” Do not describe it as a confirmed re-tender unless the e-procurement record establishes that.

Does This Notice Mean a Consultant Was Appointed?

No. This document only confirms that GMADA invited online bids. It does not establish:

• how many firms participated;
• who qualified technically;
• which bidder quoted the lowest amount;
• whether a consultant was selected;
• the accepted contract value;
• whether an agreement was signed; or
• whether the tender was later cancelled.

A separate tender-result or contract-award record would be required.

Is This a Land Acquisition Notification?

No. This is a procurement/tender notice for consultancy services. It is not:

• a Section 11 preliminary acquisition notification;
• a Section 15 objection notice;
• a Section 19 declaration;
• a Section 21 claim notice;
• a compensation award; or
• a possession notice.

Any actual land acquisition undertaken by GMADA would have its own statutory notices.

Current Status

The tender closed on: 24 January 2025 at 11:00 AM Therefore, this notice should now be treated as: Closed / Historical Tender unless a later official record establishes a different outcome.

What Should Be Checked for Final Status?

To determine what happened to this procurement, later records should be checked for:

• corrigenda;
• technical bid results;
• financial bid results;
• selected consultant;
• accepted consultancy fee;
• Letter of Acceptance;
• agreement date;
• scope of work;
• consultancy duration;
• cancellation; or
• further re-tendering.

What is known about the notice sequence

A separate notice with the same title is listed on this site for November 2024. Its exact publication date is not provided, and the available information does not show whether the January 2025 notice repeats, revises, or continues the earlier process. The two entries establish that notices with the same title appear in the records, but not a procedural timeline or outcome.

To clarify their relationship, compare the documents for references to the same project or land, links between the notices, and changes to procurement terms. Without that comparison, the January 2025 notice cannot be described as a re-tender, extension, or continuation. Nor does the presence of two notices by itself show that a consultant was appointed or that associated acquisition steps followed.

Other consultant notices listed on this site cover environmental-impact studies for New Chandigarh and Ecocity-3, landscaping work in SAS Nagar, design and detailed project report work for Phase-2 SAS Nagar, and tax or GST-related services. These titles concern different services. The supplied information does not connect them to this land-acquisition engagement or establish a broader project sequence.

Those other entries show a range of consultant services advertised in the notices listed on this site, but they do not identify the land or purpose covered by this notice. In particular, the New Chandigarh and Ecocity-3 environmental-study references cannot be used to infer that the acquisition consultant serves either location.

Why the project details matter

Land acquisition can support planned development, but the supplied information for this notice does not name a scheme, state a public purpose, or identify land. It therefore cannot be placed in a specific part of Greater Mohali or reliably linked to a sector, village, road, or development priority. This describes the limits of the information supplied here, not the contents of the underlying notice.

Without a named location or project, this page cannot establish which residents or landowners could be affected, whether any parcel is under consideration, or whether an acquisition process has advanced. GMADA’s general role in regional development does not supply those missing project facts. The supplied information does not identify specific geography, including a relevant tehsil or relationship to nearby towns and infrastructure, so these details should not be inferred.

The hiring notice alone does not show the assigned work, the stage reached, whether acquisition is complete, whether a particular parcel is included, or whether a consultant was selected. The supplied information confirms only the notice’s broad stated purpose, not the status of any associated acquisition.

The notice is a procurement reference, not evidence of a named development project. Connecting it to a particular planning scheme or local impact would require identifying details such as a project name, covered villages, or stated public purpose. Those details are not available in the supplied page information, so no specific development history or local impact can be attributed to this engagement.
