All important dates as they stand after corrigenda: publication, pre-bid/clarification deadline, bid submission deadline, bid opening, and bid validity period.
27/08/2026 at 19:00 (document time).
Bidding starts 04/09/2026; the latest and only stated closing deadline is 18/09/2026 at 15:00. Original or revised e-bids may be submitted only up to that time.
No pre-bid conference is required; no separate clarification deadline is stated.
The tender documents do not state a separate bid-opening date or time.
60 days (the document does not state a separate start date for counting).
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
Advertised value: Rs. 10,370,250.33. Tender document cost: Rs. 0.00.
Rs. 207,400.00, payable through the IREPS payment gateway or by Bank Guarantee from a scheduled commercial bank of India. A BG must follow Annexure-VIA and remain valid 90 days beyond bid validity. DIPP-recognized Startups are exempt on uploading the registration certificate; ACS-11 also provides 50% bid security for Labour Cooperative Societies.
The successful bidder must provide PG equal to 5% of the original contract value within 21 days of LOA. The competent authority may extend submission up to 60 days, with 12% p.a. penal interest from day 22; failure by day 60 can terminate the contract and forfeit bid security. PG validity is original date of completion plus 60 days. Accepted forms include cash, irrevocable BG, insurance surety bond and the listed government/bank savings instruments. An additional PG of 5% applies where the accepted bid is more than 5% below advertised cost; nil applies up to 5% below.
Security Deposit is 5% of contract value. Bid security may be retained as part; the balance may be paid in cash/TDR/irrevocable BG or recovered at 6% of bills. An SD BG must cover the stipulated maintenance period plus 60 days. The tender-specific condition releases SD only after the guarantee period against consignee no-dues and contractor no-claim certificates.
Schedule A items 1(a) and 2(a): 75% after completing the item and 20% after three months' successful operation of the POH transformer. Schedule A item 3(a) and all Schedule B supply: 80% on supply plus 10% after successful erection. Schedule C item 1(a) and all Schedule D erection: 90% after complete execution. Remaining amounts are released with the final bill.
EFT through a nationalized/scheduled bank is mandatory. Because advertised cost exceeds Rs. 10 lakh, the bidder may irrevocably opt on IREPS at bid stage for sight-LC payment; LC operation costs are borne by the contractor, including stated incidental cost of 0.15% p.a. of LC value. Rates include all taxes/duties and the contract has no price variation.
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.
Minimum average annual contractual turnover is V/N or V, whichever is less (V = advertised value in crores; N = completion years). It is the average total contractual payments over the previous three financial years from audited balance sheets; if the latest is not ready/audited, use the fourth previous year. Annexure-VIB and CA-certified audited evidence are mandatory.
Bidder must hold a valid A-Class Electrical Contractor's Licence in the name of the firm or contractor. If not valid on opening date, renewal proof must accompany the bid.
During the seven years ending on the last day of the month before invitation, bidder must have completed/substantially completed either three similar works each at least 30%, two each at least 40%, or one at least 60% of advertised value. Similar work is maintenance/rehabilitation/overhauling of a 12.5 MVA/21.6 MVA or higher traction transformer from RDSO-approved sources.
Tenderer must be the OEM or an RDSO-approved source for traction transformers. An OEM bidder must upload evidence of OEM status.
Private-individual certificates are not accepted. Besides government certificates, certificates from a listed NSE/BSE company are accepted only if the company has average annual turnover of Rs 500 crore or more in the preceding three financial years, has existed at least five years, and the authorized issuer signs; specified work order, BOQ, CA-certified payment details, all TDS certificates and final/last paid bill must accompany it.
Joint ventures and consortiums are not allowed. Partnership/HUF/LLP and similar bidders must submit the prescribed self-certification; omission, improper completion or another format causes summary rejection.
Bidder and constituents must not be blacklisted/debarred by Railways or any Government of India ministry/department on bid date. False/forged qualification certification causes summary rejection and bid-security forfeiture during evaluation; after award it can terminate the contract and forfeit Bid Security, SD and PG, with business banning up to two years.
A bidder from a country sharing a land border with India is eligible only when registered with the competent authority; valid registration evidence must be enclosed.
Bidder must be GST-compliant. For this Rs 25 lakh–200 lakh work band, a qualified Diploma Holder (Junior Engineer) must be employed during execution and available at site when required.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Augmentation of traction power transformers at Bhandara (BRD) and Mulmarora (shown as MME in Schedule C) TSS, to be completed in 6 months.
One 21.6/30.24 MVA, 220/27 kV CGL traction transformer is to receive periodic overhaul, must-change replacements and painting under RDSO SMI TI/MI/00039 Rev.2 or latest. One 132/27 kV, 21.6/30.24 MVA transformer is to be erected, tested and commissioned at BRD TSS and one at MME TSS, including accessories, bushings and oil filtration.
Replace 24,000 litres of transformer oil conforming to IEC-60296 (Type-A) or latest/RDSO specification. Schedule B, valued Rs. 3,581,935.43, comprises optional POH spares only if required, including HV/LT bushings, valves, gauges, WTI/OTI, Buchholz relay, radiators and OLTC/contact components.
Schedule D covers two loading jobs, two unloading/shifting jobs, 899 km transformer transportation with accessories/bushings and transit insurance, two dismantling/shifting items, and 2 cu.m of concrete for foundation/plinth.
Execution must follow RDSO SMI TI/MI/00039 Rev-2 or latest and current RDSO/CORE drawings/specifications. Erection materials must be from CORE/RDSO-approved sources or approved by Sr.DEE/TRD/NGP and inspected by RITES/RDSO or the authorized representative. The overhauled transformer carries a one-year workmanship warranty from commissioning/load/satisfactory operation; repairs/replacement are free and due within two weeks.
Contractor supplies all relevant materials, tools, plant and instruments unless Railway elects to supply an item and reduce scope. Contractor bears transport, released-material movement, lighting, power arrangements (no three-phase Railway supply), oil filtration plant and protection of its own property; Railway provides only space and may provide paid single-phase auxiliary supply if demanded.
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.
Submit on IREPS as a single-packet e-tender. Manual offers are prohibited. Quote one single rate on an Above/Below/At-Par basis and upload the supporting PDFs with the electronic bid.
The bidder certifies it has signed all tender pages. Qualification evidence must use prescribed formats, be signed by an authorized official, identify the issuing authority and be self-attested/digitally signed where required. Signatory authority must accompany the e-bid.
If bid security is by BG, upload its scan on IREPS and deliver the sealed original in person before the closing date, excluding the last submission day. Non-submission of either copy causes summary rejection. The envelope must identify the bid/project and bidder name/address, show bid due date at top-right, and be addressed to the nominated officer; however, this tender does not print that officer's delivery address.
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.
No tender-specific corrigendum or date extension is included in the folder; all current tender dates remain those in the NIT. The attached amendments are GCC Advance Correction Slips and modify contract/ITT conditions, not this tender's dates or quantities.
Prospectively revised financial eligibility, JV technical/financial rules and forms, extensions of time, PG, extra-item rates and price-variation provisions. Bidder action: apply only the provisions relevant to this non-JV, no-price-variation tender; the NIT reproduces the applicable turnover and contract-security terms.
Revised the original-BG delivery rule and made Annexure-V plus entity-specific Annexure-V(A) truthfulness/eligibility certificates mandatory, with self-attested/digitally signed qualifying evidence. Its BG timing was later superseded by ACS-5. Bidder action: submit both certificates as applicable and follow ACS-5/NIT for BG timing.
Revised consequences for false certification, power-of-attorney rules and JV authorization/overseas-document requirements. Bidder action: ensure the signatory has a properly stamped/notarized authority unless authorization is built into constitutive documents; JV provisions do not apply because this tender prohibits JV.
Standardized Annexure-V consequences: false/forged contents during evaluation cause bid-security forfeiture, possible action including business ban up to two years and summary rejection; post-award falsity causes termination and forfeiture of Bid Security/SD/PG. Bidder action: verify every declaration and credential.
Changed the original bid-security BG deadline to before the bid closing date, expressly excluding the last submission date. This supersedes the earlier five-working-day wording and is repeated in the NIT. Bidder action: arrange physical delivery early; do not rely on post-closing delivery.
Added GST indemnity: contractor must refund GST with interest/penalties if Railway loses input credit due to contractor default, and Railway may hold payments until compliance and ITC availability are verified. Bidder action: price and operate for strict invoice/return/payment compliance.
Latest attached slip changes bid security to 2% of estimated cost for all works (rounded to nearest Rs 100), retains Startup exemption and 50% for Labour Cooperative Societies; revises subcontracting, PG/additional PG, bid-capacity threshold and code-of-integrity sanctions. Bidder action: use the NIT's Rs 207,400 EMD, comply with 5% PG/additional-PG terms, and retain direct responsibility for performance and integrity.
No date amendment: publication/upload 27/08/2026 19:00, bidding starts 04/09/2026, closes 18/09/2026 15:00, offer validity 60 days, completion 6 months. Financially: value Rs 10,370,250.33, EMD Rs 207,400, document fee nil, PG 5% plus applicable additional PG, SD 5%. Physical BG timing follows ACS-5/NIT: before closing, excluding the final submission date.
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.
Base GCC April 2022 says the original BG may be delivered within 5 working days after the bid deadline; ACS-2 moved it to within 5 working days before closing; ACS-5 and this tender's NIT require delivery before closing, excluding the last bid-submission date. The latest ACS-5/NIT rule prevails.
The NIT prints Rs 40,000 per month for graduate-engineer default but spells it as 'Rupees Two thousand only'; it prints Rs 25,000 for diploma-holder default but spells it as 'Rupees One thousand only'. No corrigendum resolves this. The numeric and written amounts conflict, so no reliable prevailing amount can be selected; obtain written clarification.
The overhaul scope identifies a 220/27 kV transformer, but Schedule D transportation describes a '200/27KV/132/27KV' transformer. No amendment explains whether 200 kV is a typo. The specific overhaul item remains 220/27 kV, but bidders should obtain written confirmation for transport planning and insurance.
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 that 'MME TSS' in Schedule C means Mulmarora TSS, identify the origin/destination of each of the two transformer movements, and provide the route basis for the fixed 899 km quantity. This affects transport permits, ODC planning, transit insurance and pricing.
Please confirm whether Schedule D's '200/27KV' is a typographical error for 220/27 kV and provide transformer transport dimensions/weights and accessory breakup for each movement.
Schedule B is 'only if required' yet the tender uses one Above/Below/At-Par rate. Please confirm whether every optional item is included in bid evaluation, who authorizes quantities and whether uncalled quantities simply lapse without compensation.
The bid is summarily rejected if the original BG is not delivered early, but the tender does not print a complete nominated officer/address. Please issue the exact recipient name, room/office and postal address for hand delivery.
Please correct the conflict between the numeric and written monthly penalties for non-deployment of graduate/diploma engineers and confirm which staffing category applies to this advertised value.
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.
Rates are all-inclusive and there is no price variation; material price changes are the contractor's risk. Railway may vary quantities and may supply items itself with corresponding scope reduction. This creates procurement and unrecovered-overhead risk, especially for optional spares.
No claim is allowed for unavailable power blocks, rain or inspection delay. Contractor must pre-agree each block activity and manpower; overrunning a block costs Rs 10,000 for the first 30 minutes/part plus Rs 5,000 per further 15 minutes when train services are affected.
Six-month completion is subject to GCC liquidated damages/penalty. Rejected work must be replaced within one week at contractor cost without extra time. The POH transformer has a one-year free-repair/replacement warranty, with rectification within two weeks.
Contractor bears damage to existing installations. Cable damage penalties per location are Rs 1.0 lakh (quad/signalling or electrical), Rs 1.25 lakh (OFC), and Rs 1.5 lakh (OFC plus quad). Traffic detention negligence for this above-Rs-5-lakh contract attracts Rs 15,000; gas-cutter rail drilling attracts Rs 50,000 per instance/location.
Railway disclaims accident compensation and theft/loss liability for contractor property; contractor must safeguard men, materials and plant. No three-phase supply is provided, and even paid single-phase supply carries connection cost and interruption risk. ODC clearance and transport are contractor's cost.
Supply/erection milestones retain 10%–25% until later events/final bill; SD remains until the guarantee period ends. GST non-compliance can hold any payment until ITC is verified. PG delay after day 21 costs 12% p.a., and failure by day 60 can terminate the award and forfeit bid security.
Sr.DEE/TRD/Nagpur reserves the right to make changes during execution and treats them as binding; uncovered points are decided by written Railway guidance. Combined with fixed price and broad site-risk assumption, bidders should close all scope gaps before bidding.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
Sr.DEE(TRD)/NGP/SECR, Nagpur Division Electrical, South East Central Railway, acting for and on behalf of the President of India. The signed NIT names TANMAYA MAHESHWARI, designation Sr.DEETRD.
Senior Divisional Electrical Engineer (Traction Distribution), Nagpur, or authorized representative; the NIT directs bidders to raise difficulties/doubts before submission.
Deliver to the official nominated in the tender document, but no complete person-specific delivery address, phone or email is printed in the tender. Obtain written delivery details before arranging a BG.
