I’ll better explain this with an example.
Imagine Mr. X as PWD engineer. According to assurances of politicians to public, construction of a highway within a region will be taken up. Now, it is the responsibility of Mr X to take up the construction activities.
Now to do this construction, no government servants are available readily. Bulldozers, rollers, laborers..not readily available. Hence the project will be awarded to a contractor. Just like you give contract for construction of your house to a mestri or an Engineer. Except here Mr X cannot directly award the contract to any contractor according to his/her wish and will (quite practical huh!).
So what Mr. X does is, he/she will call for a tender through newspapers and/or online for the construction of highway. Tender is a document, in a very general sense, indicating money that Mr X is ready to spend on construction of highway. He will quote the max amount.
Now different contractors will “bid” their amount (based on their infrastructure and technologies) to the above mentioned project and (technically. Ahem!) project will be awarded to that contractor who quotes lowest bid (less than tender amount obviously).
All government civil engineering projects like govt schools, hospitals,dams,roads…any construction activity runs on same lines. This is very very generalized answer. there are quite many other factors involved in this.

Difference between architecture and civil engineering:
Here I am discussing major differences between architecture and civil engineering, they are as follows:
1) When we talk about duration of course, then
- Civil engineering- 4 years
- Architecture- 5 years
2) Responsibility:
- civil engineer: construction of road bridges and tunnels buildings Railway’s airport’s underpasses, etc.
- Architect: design buildings, monuments, bridges with a more aesthetical view.
3) Most important parameter:
- Civil engineer: the strength of the structure is a more important aspect for civil engineer
- Architect: an architect give more importance to an aesthetical appearance of the structure
4) Eligibility criteria:
- Civil engineering: HSC (physics, chemistry and maths subject) with at least 50% marks and IIT, AIEEE and other university level entrance examinations are conducted each year for the admission of civil engineering course.
- Architecture: HSC( physics, chemistry, math) with at least 50% marks and NATA, AIEEE and other university level entrance examinations are conducted for admission to architecture course.
5) Focused Area:
- Civil engineering- civil engineering field is mainly dealing with the mathematical and scientific aspects of the structure. construction and design, parameters are included in civil engineering
- Architecture- architecture deals with the down look and artistic aspect of designing a building

Why only cylinders shape were used to test Split Tensile Strength of Concrete?
-
Tensile test is done on cylinder because only cylinders can be held under pure tension by applying a compressive load. That will only happen if it was under pure tension. If we take any other prismatic shape such as square cross section cylinder, the failure will be via compression but not tension.
