Single-stage two-part open competitive e-bid on https://eproc.rajasthan.gov.in: Technical Bid (fees, eligibility & technical) and Financial Bid (cover letter + BoQ .XLS).
Banker's Cheque/DD for Tender Fee, RISL Processing Fee and Bid Security (or BG for bid security) must be submitted physically at the office of Tendering Authority by 01.09.2026 4:00 PM, with scanned copies in technical cover.
Authorised signatory must upload digitally signed PDF/XLS documents; financial cover remains unopened until technical qualification; L1 among technically qualified bidders is selected.
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.
First extension: bid sale/submission/fee physical submission end and technical opening moved from 15.07.2026 to 04.08.2026 (opening 5:00 PM).
Issuance of FinalRFPRajSewaDwaar.pdf (After Pre-Bid, 107 pp) superseding original RFP for technical/commercial conditions; NIB dates set to 17.08.2026 and pre-bid row removed as completed.
Second pure date extension: end dates/opening moved from 04.08.2026 to 17.08.2026 4:00 PM / 5:00 PM.
Third and latest pure date extension: sale/submission/fee physical end to 01.09.2026 4:00 PM; technical opening 01.09.2026 5:00 PM.
Use Final RFP (After Pre-Bid) for scope/eligibility/commercial terms; use 01.09.2026 4:00 PM submission / 5:00 PM technical opening from latest date corrigendum; bid validity 180 days from submission deadline; estimated cost INR 12 Cr incl. taxes; EMD 2% (concessions as NIB); fees Rs.5000 + Rs.2500.
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.
Final RFP NIB still prints 17.08.2026 submission/opening, while Corrigendum dated 14-08-2026 extends to 01.09.2026; latest date corrigendum prevails.
Original RFP required handling up to 50 crore transactions/month and ≥10% YoY growth plus 350 avg / 500–2500 peak TPS; Final RFP replaces this with equivalence to existing system and peak up to 2,500 TPS — Final RFP governs.
Original allowed OEM supervision on-site or remotely; Final RFP requires OEM resource (onsite). Final wording applies.
Not a live conflict for bidding mechanics: pre-bid already held; Final RFP is After Pre-Bid. Historical pre-bid date remains 19.06.2026 / queries 22.06.2026 from original NIB/NIT.
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.
Confirm how L1 is determined when some bidders quote IBM CP4I ATS (Case-1) and others quote a new platform (Case-2) on the same BoQ OR line — is total evaluated price directly comparable without normalization?
Seek written confirmation whether Case-1 price must include full OEM ATS subscription cost for 369 CP4I + 9 Storage Fusion licenses for 3 years, and whether any existing RISL entitlement/credit offsets apply.
Clarify whether the mandatory OEM Admin can be OEM-seconded under bidder control, or must be on bidder payroll given Annexure-17 payroll/no-subcontracting rule and GTC subcontracting ban.
Confirm duration and scope of possible unpaid additional six-month exit support and whether PSD can be withheld until after that extra period.
If SI must supply any non-general hardware/software/tools at no extra cost, confirm whether those costs are deemed included in BoQ lines and whether department rejection of proposed BOM shifts cost/risk to bidder.
Ask for the authoritative service inventory count used for 500±10% migration target and whether non-migration penalty (0.1% per service per month) stacks with downtime/LD caps.
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.
24x7 service window with steep downtime, incident, non-migration and manpower penalties; quarterly penalty cap 10% of amount due, with >10% quarterly deduction treated as default enabling termination, forfeiture of remaining payables and PSD, and 3-year debarment from RISL/DoIT&C.
LD up to 10% of payment due for associated milestone on delayed delivery/installation/completion, escalating 2.5%/5%/7.5%/10% by fraction of prescribed period delayed; contract terminable at max LD.
OEM ATS certificate for year-1 due within 30 days of WO while year-1 ATS/O&M payment is only 50% of BoQ Sr.1 spread over 4 quarterly instalments — significant working-capital risk, especially for Case-1 license ATS.
Purchaser may terminate for convenience or default on 30 days’ notice; risk & cost recovery from BG/PSD/other dues; unpaid up-to-6-month post-expiry exit support possible; PSD held until full asset/license transfer.
No JV/consortium and no subcontracting, yet OEM onsite supervision, OEM admin manpower, OEM MAF, OEM compliance sheets and OEM 24x7 support are mandatory — high dependency and limited risk-sharing.
Aggregate liability “shall not exceed the amount specified in the Contract,” but carve-outs for gross negligence/wilful misconduct, defective equipment repair/replace, and patent indemnity; EoL/EoS hardware/software must be replaced free — open-ended cost exposure if contract amount is not tightly defined.
Even a complete online bid fails if Tender Fee, Processing Fee and Bid Security instruments are not physically delivered by 01.09.2026 4:00 PM.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
