Introduction

Tender Ready: The system automatically generates the Bill of Quantities (BOQ), which can be directly exported to the state’s e-tender portal.

In the context of the Kerala Public Works Department (PWD), PRICE 3.0 refers to the updated Project Information and Cost Estimation software used for preparing and approving online project estimates.

  1. The SoR PDF: Download the latest Kerala PWD Standard Schedule of Rates – Price Level 3 from the official keralapwd.gov.in tender portal. Look for the circular titled “SoR effective from [Date].”
  2. The Tender Clause: In every NIT (Notice Inviting Tender), search for the line: “The rates shall be governed by PWD SoR Price 3 as amended up to the date of receipt of tenders.” If you see “Price 1” or “Lumpsum,” run away.
  3. The Variation Clause: Price 3 allows for a price escalation formula (usually based on the All India Wholesale Price Index for bitumen, steel, and cement). Do not accept a tender that offers Price 3 without the escalation clause.

To find the specific "Price 3" documents or the most recent Schedule of Rates, follow these steps: Visit the Official Kerala PWD Website. Navigate to the 'Documents' or 'Downloads' section.
