In simple words No burden on govt and facilities to People of Pakistan as well .

If some one goes through the history of this thread, where one can see shifting position of regime, between BOT to Grant from China.
While there's another short history prior to it, which was cancelling the contract, and re-awarding it on higher prices and less favorable terms & conditions.
While the socio economic revolution which Bajwa is talking about could have been already in motion by now, if two years ago, contract had not been canceled by PTI, without transparency and explanation of it. Luckily contractor was as well China state otherwise any private contractor would drag NHA to International courts of arbitration.
Clearly, bunch of retards and sick people are currently ruling Pakistan, who think they are Kings of Pakistan and can hurt it and destroy it without any one asking questions... which is unfortunately happening.
While Motorways comes under the authority of NHA.. the largest project of Motorways was M5 and it's been overseen by NHA, why now Murad Saeed is side lined for a tiny M6? While it was same Murad Saeed who cancelled M6 contract on first place. Who is going to justify the years of delay in project, which requires serious answers from donkey kingdoom.

Government Receives Poor Response on Sukkur-Hyderabad Motorway’s International Tender

The government has received a poor response against the international tender for Sukkur-Hyderabad Motorway (M-6), a critical component of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), which will be completed on a Build Operate Transfer (BOT) basis with an estimated cost of Rs. 165.679 billion.

A senior member of the National Highway Authority (NHA) revealed that only one bid was received for Sukkur-Hyderabad Motorway. The government is evaluating the legal aspects of whether it can go with a single tender or a re-tender, the official added.

اسلام آباد (اُردو پوائنٹ اخبارتازہ ترین۔ 06 اکتوبر2020ء) پشاور تا کراچی موٹروے کا آخری فیز، سکھر حیدرآباد موٹروے کا منصوبہ کھٹائی میں پڑ گیا۔ 306 کلومیٹر طویل موٹروے منصوبے کے ٹینڈر کے دوران غیر ملکی کمپنیوں کا عدم دلچسپی کا اظہار، صرف ایک کمپنی نے بولی میں حصہ لیا۔ تفصیلات کے مطابق رواں سال اپریل میں سی پیکاتھارٹی کے چیئرمین جنرل (ر) عاصم سلیم باجوہ نے آگاہ کیا تھا کہ سی پیک کے تحت 204.28 ارب روپے کی لاگت کی سکھر تا حیدرآباد موٹر وے (ایم 6) کی تعمیر رواں سال کے آخر تک شروع ہوجائے گی۔

انہوں نے بتایا تھا کہ کچھ مہینوں میں ٹینڈرنگ ، اراضی حاصل کر لینے کا عمل مکمل کر لیا جائے گا۔ اس کی تکمیل کے ساتھ ہی مشرقی روٹ پرپشاور تا کراچی موٹر وے پرسفر کا وقت کم ہوجائے گا۔​

​

بتایا گیا تھا کہ بلِٹ آپریٹ ٹرانسفر (بی او ٹی) کے طریقہ کار کی بنیاد پر نجی شعبہ نیشنل ہائی وے اتھارٹی کے ماتحت اس منصوبے پر عملدرآمد میں سر فہرست ہوگا۔

تاہم اب بتایا گیا ہےکہ منصوبے کے آغاز کیلئے حکومت کو مشکلات کا سامنا کرنا پڑ رہا ہے۔ منصوبے کے ٹینڈر میں غیر ملکی کمپنیوں کی جانبسے دلچسپی کا اظہار نہیں کیا گیا۔ صرف ایک کمپنی نے ٹینڈر کے عمل میں حصہ لیا۔ اس صورتحال میں حکومت غور کر رہی ہے کہ آیا ٹینڈر کے عمل میں حصہ لینے والی واحد کمپنی کو کانٹریکٹ دے دیا جائے یا دوبارہ سے ٹینڈر جاری کیا جائے۔

مزید بتایا گیا ہے کہ سکھر حیدرآباد موٹروے کی تعمیر کے حوالے سے 2016 میں ابتدائی کام کا آغاز کیا گیا تھا، تاہم تحریک اںصاف کی حکومت آنے کے بعد منصوبہ تاخیر کا شکار ہوگیا۔ رواں سال ایکنک کی جانب سے منصوبے کی تعمیر شروع کرنے کی منظوری دی گئی، جس کے بعد ٹینڈر جاری کیا گیا۔ تاہم حکومت کی توقعات کے برعکس منصوبے کی تعمیر کیلئے غیر ملکی کمپنیوں کی جانب سے دلچسپی ظاہر نہیں کی گئی۔​

Cost was too high due to devaluation the contractor walked away anyway

BOT shifts liability from govt which imp given all time high debt we are stuck in

Govt to Re-Tender the M-6 Motorway Project After Receiving a Poor Response

Posted 1 hour ago by ProPK Staff

The government has decided to re-tender the Sukkur-Hyderabad Motorway (M-6) project which is estimated to be completed within Rs. 175 billion after receiving a poor response, with only one party showing interest in taking up the project under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mode.
A senior member of the National Highways Authority (NHA) revealed that only one party had shown interest in the project and had opted for a pre-bid qualification for the project. The government has evaluated the legal aspects regarding whether it should opt for either a single tender or a retender, the official added.

​

Sources said that the ongoing negotiations on how to proceed with the project structure were at a high-level with the Planning Ministry. There are several proposals for it, including one for the project to be divided into three packages.

Discussions with the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank are also underway, the NHA official added.
The Hyderabad-Sukkur Motorway project involves the construction of a 306 km long, six-lane wide, access-controlled motorway, and is a critical component of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). It is proposed to be a high-speed toll road facility for efficient and safe transportation, which will start from Hyderabad (the end of the Karachi-Hyderabad Motorway/M-9) and end at Naro Canal (the start of the Sukkur-Multan Motorway/M-5).

The project alignment passes through Jamshoro, Tando Adam, Hala, Shahdadpur, Nawabshah, Moro, Dadu, Naushehro Feroze, Mehrabpur, Rasoolpur, Larkana, Khairpur, and Sukkur.
An advertisement for the Sukkur-Hyderabad Motorway project was placed in the national and international print media on 10 October 2016, inviting Expression of Interest (EoI) for the pre-qualification of firms.

The NHA bid opening/evaluation committee opened technical proposals on 14 February 2017. Following the finalization of the technical evaluation, the financial proposals by all the three bidders were opened on 7 March 2017, and the completion of the project was scheduled within three years at a cost of Rs. 175 billion.
However, the incumbent government had shelved Hyderabad-Sukkur Motorway (M-6) project after assuming power.
The Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ECNEC) had recently approved the project at a cost of Rs. 175 billion, and the paperwork for the Sukkur-Hyderabad motorway is currently being completed.

The NHA official further stated that the government is taking up the construction of other CPEC projects and that tenders for them and the crucial Kuchlak project had been invited. He added that the tenders were under evaluation and that road connectivity under the CPEC network would be improved after their completion.

The official also stated that the NHA is gradually developing an epoch-making CPEC project and that road infrastructure plays a vital role in the socio-economic uplift of the country. He further maintained that the responsibility for the construction and maintenance of motorways, national highways, and strategic roads had been assigned to the NHA.

Why NHA don't give contract to this one party which has shown interest?

 

[HAIDER]

Because contractor can't afford massive kickback asking by politicians and there touts in bureaucracy. After paying kickbacks contractor can hardly make a mile of road.
