Service location is PowerTel/POWERGRID Data Centre at Manesar Substation, Gurugram, Haryana-122413.
Support window 12 Jun 2026–11 Mar 2027; renew within 2 weeks of LOA; optional +3 months AMC extension at same unit price.
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 submission only on GeM portal https://gem.gov.in under Single Stage Two Envelope / Two Packet Bid; no deviation acceptable.
Hard-copy part (Bid Security, Power of Attorney, Forms & other requested documents) to PowerTel Telecom Contracts, New Delhi; timelines stated as within 5 days of soft-copy closing and/or within 5–7 days of bid opening (see Contradictions).
Local-content affidavit on Rs.100 non-judicial stamp paper; MAF on OEM letterhead signed by person with PoA and to be registered/notarized; BG on stamp paper in issuing bank’s name.
Bidder’s offer is liable to rejection if certificates/documents sought in Bid, ATC and Corrigendum are not uploaded.
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.
The tender document set contains no corrigendum or addendum; original GeM bid and ATC/SoW values apply as published.
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.
GeM bid sets Bid to RA enabled = No, while ATC states Purchaser will/reserves right to conduct e-RA on GeM.
Buyer SoW/ATC Annexure-C require quarterly payment within 21 days of invoice + OEM verification; GeM bid Payment Timelines say within 30 days of SDAC.
Performance security validity is stated three ways: GeM ePBG 12 months; ATC 90 days beyond Warranty Period; SoW 02 months beyond AMC vs ATC Annexure-C 03 months beyond AMC.
Hard-copy deadlines are variously tied to soft-copy closing (+5 days) and to bid opening (+5 or +7 days).
GeM bid lists Arbitration Clause = No and Mediation Clause = No, but ATC supplements extensive arbitration/conciliation provisions with venue New Delhi.
ATC requires meeting Annexure-QR, yet the document only prints a one-line QR (authorised CHECKPOINT reseller) under ATC Sl. No. 17.
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.
Support/subscription period starts 12th June 2026 while bid was published 21-07-2026 and closes 31-07-2026 — confirm whether retrospective OEM coverage from 12-06-2026 is mandatory and how gap/overlap is paid.
Ask Buyer to reconcile GeM ‘Bid to RA enabled No’ with ATC/IFB language that e-RA shall be conducted.
Seek written confirmation whether quarterly 21-day SoW payment or GeM 30-day SDAC payment applies, and which CPG validity (12 months ePBG / 90 days beyond warranty / 2 or 3 months beyond AMC) will be enforced.
Confirm exact MAF content checklist and whether notarization/registration of Form No. 5 is mandatory for Check Point electronic MAFs commonly issued by OEMs.
Confirm that no turnover/past-experience QR applies despite GeM estimated-value language and the missing Annexure-QR attachment.
Clarify the governing physical EMD/PoA deadline (5 days from soft-copy close vs 5/7 days from opening) and whether late hard copy causes rejection or only clarification.
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.
Only Check Point authorized resellers with bid-specific MAF can bid; missing/non-compliant MAF is a rejection risk and competition depends on OEM authorization policy.
LD at 0.05% of Contract Price per day of delay against Time for Completion, capped at 5% of Contract Price.
Device/part replacement for failure, fault or end-of-life must be same/higher spec from same OEM at no additional cost to POWERGRID, with OEM reconfiguration and media-retention constraint.
EMD INR 99,000 (validity 250 days from bid opening) plus 5% performance security; EMD forfeitable for withdrawal, false documents, or PBG default; delayed PBG can lead to termination and future non-responsiveness.
Purchaser may terminate for convenience; supplier default termination bars PowerTel tenders for 1 year; performance-assessment events also create 1-year non-responsiveness.
If supplier category drops from Class-I to Class-II/Non-local (or Class-II to Non-local), 10% of contract value (excluding GST) penalty applies.
Uploading price schedule in technical packet or submitting any price in hard copy causes outright rejection without clarification.
Buyer may extend AMC by 03 months during execution without change in unit price or terms — bidder carries OEM price-escalation risk for extension.
Bidder must maintain required insurances at own cost and comply with Labour Codes / legacy labour laws; non-compliance is contractual breach.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
