Bid Opening Date/Time is 17-08-2026 15:30:00.
Bid Offer Validity is 150 days from the bid end date.
No pre-bid meeting date is specified; technical clarifications during evaluation are allowed for 2 days.
Delivery is due in 240 days at consignee level; ATC also states delivery within 8 months.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
No tender value or estimated cost is stated in the bid, ATC or specification documents.
EMD is Rs 1,97,300; Advisory Bank is State Bank of India; validity 45 days beyond final bid validity.
No tender/bid participation fee is charged in the bid details; GeM disclaimer bars ATC from seeking tender fee.
ATC requires Performance Bank Guarantee of 10% of basic order value on HCL format (GeM ePBG format not acceptable), despite bid ePBG field showing Required: No.
Payment within 30 days of CRAC and online bill submission (bid supersedes GeM GTC 10-day timeline); TReDS is preferred mode for MSME sellers.
Guarantee is 12 months from commissioning or 18 months from receipt at MCP central store, whichever is earlier; seller bears on-site replacement/repair/maintenance costs during guarantee.
Every pass/fail eligibility and qualification requirement: experience and past performance, turnover/net worth, registrations and certifications, consortium/JV rules, and debarment or blacklisting conditions.
Bidders must be manufacturer, authorized dealer of OEM, or stockist of their principals; dealers/stockists must upload valid principal authorization with techno-commercial bid or offer is not considered.
Average annual financial turnover not less than Rs.25.08 lakhs during the preceding three years ending 31st March 2025.
In last seven years ending last date of month prior to month of tendering, bidder must have successfully executed distribution/power transformer orders as per NIT specification, meeting 3/2/1 similar PO value thresholds.
Only Class-I and Class-II local suppliers may participate; non-local suppliers are not eligible (eligible MSEs still allowed as per MII text).
MSE purchase preference is Yes: MSE OEMs within L1+15% may match L1 for 25% of quantity; traders/resellers excluded.
Any bidder from a country sharing a land border with India is eligible only if registered with the Competent Authority (GeM GTC clause 26); false declaration grounds immediate termination and legal action.
No consortium or joint-venture eligibility rules are specified in the bid or ATC.
Backing out after techno-commercial/price bid opening, or failure to start after award, may attract administrative measures including debarment; risk & cost purchase applies on execution failure.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Supply of 4 numbers of 750 kVA, 3.3/0.433 kV, Dyn11, 3-phase, 50 Hz, copper-wound, oil-type (ONAN), outdoor transformers with OCTC for mines use.
Oil-immersed outdoor transformer with conservator, electrolytic copper windings, CRGO M4 core, OCTC +5% to -5% in 2.5% steps, cable-box HV/LV, and specified losses/impedance/protection.
All 4 units to Malanjkhand Copper Project, Dist. Balaghat, Madhya Pradesh-481116, within 240 days / 8 months.
Guarantee support on-site at seller cost; OEM certified docs, test certificates and GTP at supply; drawings approval before fabrication.
Scope is supply of transformers to MCP Stores; installation/civil works are not described as a priced service package, though guarantee is linked to commissioning.
The complete checklist of documents to submit — mandatory vs conditional, with any prescribed formats, proformas or annexures — plus how to submit: portal and mode, envelope/cover structure, digital signature requirements, signing and attestation rules, and physical originals with their deadline.
Online two-packet bid on GeM; seller documents uploaded on the portal form part of the bid.
Upload letter-head certification that Buyer ATC supersedes other bid T&C; if missing, bid submission is treated as acceptance of all bid T&C.
All PQC qualifying documents must accompany the offer; only pre-existing historical shortfall documents may be sought later by a stated deadline.
Every corrigendum/addendum in order — what changed (original vs amended value), its impact, and the action for the bidder — ending with the values that finally apply.
Among the downloaded tender documents there is no corrigendum or addendum file amending dates, quantities, EMD or specifications.
Sellers may raise representations against ATC/bid conditions via GeM Representation window; buyer must reply before bid opening.
Publication 27-07-2026; bid end 17-08-2026 15:00; opening 17-08-2026 15:30; validity 150 days; EMD Rs 1,97,300; qty 4; delivery 240 days/8 months; ATC PBG 10% basic.
Genuine conflicts within and across the documents (original vs corrigenda, clause vs annexure, tender document vs BOQ): both sides with citations, and which value prevails.
Bid ePBG Detail shows Required: No, while ATC mandates 10% PBG on HCL format and rejects GeM ePBG format.
Consignee table states 240 delivery days; ATC states within 8 months.
Bid sets Inspection Required (empanelled GeM agency) to No, but ATC forbids dispatch without buyer inspection & clearance after 10-day advance call.
Bid Arbitration Clause is No and Mediation Clause No, but ATC contains full amicable resolution and arbitration machinery (claims ≤ Rs 1 crore; venue Malanjkhand).
Resolved on the face of the bid: 30 days from CRAC expressly supersedes GTC clause 12's 10 days.
ATC requires FM notice within 21 days of occurrence; GeM GTC requires notice within 10 days.
Only critical, tender-specific pre-bid queries that could materially change bid/no-bid, pricing, eligibility or contractual risk. Skip generic or obvious questions the documents already answer clearly.
Please confirm whether successful bidder must submit 10% HCL-format PBG despite bid ePBG=No, and whether this ATC conflicts with GeM GTC/GFR 3–5% band or risks bid nullity under GeM disclaimer.
Confirm whether contractual delivery is exactly 240 days on GeM contract or 8 months under ATC, and whether the clock starts from contract/PO date, drawing approval, or inspection clearance.
Clarify whether seller’s scope ends at delivery to MCP Stores or includes installation/commissioning, given guarantee runs from commissioning and on-site guarantee support is mandated.
Confirm acceptable similar experience: any distribution/power transformer, or only outdoor oil-type ~750 kVA / 3.3 kV class matching NIT specification; and whether dealer-executed supplies (not OEM) qualify.
With GeM Inspection Required=No, confirm inspecting authority (HCL/MCP/third party), location, cost bearer, and lead time beyond the 10-day call.
Confirm whether ATC arbitration (≤ Rs 1 crore; Malanjkhand venue; no arbitration above Rs 1 crore) overrides bid Arbitration Clause=No and standard GeM dispute path.
Commercial, legal and execution risks a bidder should weigh: liquidated damages and penalties, unusual or one-sided clauses, tight timelines, and payment or security risks.
GeM GTC LD is 0.5% of contract value of delayed quantity per week (or part), capped at 5% normally and 10% for inordinate delay (>25% of completion period).
Default after award can trigger security forfeiture, risk & expense repurchase with excess cost recovery, order cancellation for unserviced qty, and debarment for back-out or failure to start.
10% basic-value PBG (or bill retention) for guarantee period plus 60 days, with extra 60-day claim window, is a significant working-capital burden versus typical GeM 3–5%.
Custom mine-duty transformers in ~8 months/240 days with mandatory drawing approval and no-dispatch-without-inspection creates schedule risk and LD exposure.
Seller must provide on-site replacement/repair/maintenance at own cost at MCP and bear to-and-fro dispatch charges during guarantee.
Purchaser may increase/decrease ordered quantity up to 25% at placement and increase up to 25% during currency at contracted rates, with formula-based extra delivery time (minimum 30 days if original DP ≥ 30 days).
HCL may terminate after short cure windows and appropriate performance security; foreclosure on 10 days’ notice; arbitration capped at Rs 1 crore with Balaghat courts for residual disputes.
Experience/turnover relaxations are disabled; uploaded bid documents (and clarification docs) are visible to other participating bidders after login.
Cash receipt only after consignee acceptance/CRAC and online billing, within 30 days—longer than default GeM 10 days—while copper-intensive manufacturing is front-loaded.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
