Bangladesh Computer Council has been given responsibilities to finalise the tendering process for the project.
The decision was taken at the maiden meeting of the executive committee of the hi-tech authorities on Thursday with state minister for science and information and communication technology Yafes Osman in the chair.
BCC's executive director Mahfuzur Rahman told bdnews24.com that the government had taken initiatives to finish the construction of basic infrastructure for the park within a short time. "More than one contractor or developer will be appointed if necessary to complete the work."
The ICT state minister said the developers or contractors would be appointed on the basis of their expertise in doing this kind of work. "We will soon invite expression of interest from different construction companies. Request for proposal (RFP) will be accepted from the selected company after evaluating applications from different interested parties."
BCC had been asked to submit the requirements of the park to the ministry by within the next 15 days, Osman said. "Further actions will be taken after this."
A high official, who was present at the meeting, said the committee also decided to give several incentives to the investors, which include tax holiday for 10 years and tax levitation for three years for foreigners who have been working in these companies.
Moreover, gas, water and power supply will be ensured at a low cost in the 100 percent foreign investments.
