Embattled NTA floats ₹7.5 crore tender for round-the-clock security at HQ, regional offices
The contract will initially be for two years and can be extended by two additional one-year terms based on performance.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has issued a ₹7.5 crore tender for professional security services to guard its headquarters in Delhi’s Minto Road, regional offices in Okhla and other specified locations. This comes amid a major overhaul following the controversial NEET-UG 2026 examination leak. The contract will cover comprehensive security for NTA personnel, visitors, assets, premises, confidential documents, IT infrastructure and other critical facilities.
Bidders must have at least five years of experience in security services, a minimum ₹10 crore turnover over the past three years, and a track record of securing high-security establishments. The tender, issued on July 25, accepts bids until August 17 at 3 pm, with technical assessments concluding the same day. The selected agency will be subject to a Quality-and-Cost Based Selection (QCBS) model, prioritizing service quality over price.
