GMDW&SB Contract & Procurement Manager Recruitment 2026 - 1 Post

Guwahati Metropolitan Drinking Water and Sewerage Board (GMDW&SB), Government of Assam, has released a walk-in interview notice for one Contract & Procurement Manager post. The posting is at the Office of the Managing Director, GMDW&SB, Kharghuli, Guwahati. The initial engagement is for 11 months and may be renewed based on performance and the requirement of the post.

This role is for experienced professionals who can manage procurement, tendering, contract administration, bid evaluation, contract closure, and reporting. The selected person will support GMDW&SB in transparent and efficient procurement as per state rules, funding agency requirements, and board policies. Knowledge of e-procurement and GeM is mandatory, so this is best suited for candidates who already handle government-style procurement work.

GMDW&SB was created by the Government of Assam to improve drinking water and sewerage services in the Guwahati metropolitan area. For this post, the most important work is clean procurement compliance: preparing correct tender papers, keeping audit-ready records, handling bid evaluation, and making sure contracts follow approved procedures. The TOR also makes it clear that the role must support transparent, efficient, competitive, and compliant procurement for the board.

The selected professional will work with procurement plans, EOIs, IFBs, RFPs, bid documents, evaluation reports, negotiation minutes, contract awards, and internal processing documents. You should also be comfortable answering bidder queries, preparing pre-bid meeting minutes, issuing amendments, reviewing legal and commercial points, and communicating with contractors, government officials, and funding agencies. This is not an entry-level job; it is for someone who can already manage high-value public procurement and contract administration with limited hand-holding.
