On January 25th, BCCI will announce the names of the five franchises competing in the inaugural Women’s Indian Premier League (WIPL) and the cities in which they will operate.
On this date, financial offers for these franchises, which are currently being filed in sealed envelopes, will be opened. However, BCCI has indicated in its tender documents that it is “not obligated to accept the highest bid” and will seek ways for bidders to promote the growth of women’s cricket in India.
Last week, BCCI announced a bid to own and operate her five franchises at WIPL. This she is scheduled to take place from March 3rd to she is on the 26th. In an overview of the Tender Documents (ITT) viewed by ESPNcricinfo, BCCI advised that one bidder could bid on multiple cities. BCCI has shortlisted 10 city pools and listed venues with their respective capacities for tender.

Determining the winning bid amount
His remaining seven cities, excluding Dharamsala, Guwahati and Indore, are already home to men’s IPL teams. BCCI did not set a base price, but bidders were asked to offer prices for 10 seasons.

BCCI said “the stadium with the highest bid will be awarded first”. “Then the stadium with the next highest bid wins the contract.”
If his two highest bids for one venue are the same, BCCI has announced that it will re-bid. If two different bidders have the same highest bid for his two venues, BCCI has “discretion to determine the order”. If bidders submit their highest bids on multiple floors, BCCI is free to determine the venue. Formats for the first three seasons
