At the early stage of the Project Contractor has submitted the Tender without any prior estimation and technical expertise or project management methodology, now project is delayed for almost more than 6+ months, what to do in this case to get Project on Track, what methodologies should one use?

This is not a question of methodology, but rather one of contract management. There are potentially a number of possible actions including:
- Enforcing contract penalties for poor performance
- Going through a dispute resolution process
- Terminating the contract early and picking a new contractor to complete the work
- Having the original contractor re-estimate the effort and time to complete

In a situation where a project has been significantly delayed due to a lack of initial preparation and expertise, You can look at the following to bring the project back on track.
Such as project audit, stakeholder engagement, issue management, risk management, resource reallocation, and project control. I also agree with Kiron's points.
FYI: Comprehensive project methodologies contribute 22.3% to the success of a project (My Ph.D. research), but if the project did not start in the right way it's really tough to bring it back under control. I would focus on the project manager (competent and well-networked), effective governance and a high-performing PMO. If these three are in place then the project should be able to recover. Empowerment is key along with the governance to correct the project. Saving Changes...

I agree with Kiron, this is definitely not a methodology issue but a procurement and contract management one. Depending on the type of contract you signed, you need to look into the contractual obligations and rights, and go from there. This is the best way to deal with it. Saving Changes...
