Hello,
You can file a writ petition directly in the high court if the tender has been allotted in violation of the tender conditions by the authorities. There have been precedents when the courts in such conditions have directed to conduct a fresh bid process.

1. Without seeing the notice to tender it is very difficult to advise further.
2. In the case of dispute leading of grant or cancellation of tender the aggrieved bidder can challenge the decisison in under writ jurisdiction of the high court.
The unsuccessful bidder , if finds that the tender was not conducted in a proper manner and there were violations in the conduct of the same, he may aproach the court with a permanent injunction suit seeking to restrain the authority to from proceeding with the biased and lopsided tendering activity.
You can also obtain a stay of the operation of the tender contract.
The burden of proof lies on the unsuccessful bidder.
