What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Expression of Interest for creation of a centralized data repository from different IT systems and creation of AI/ML-based Dashboard & Mobile Application for BSPHCL and subsidiaries — supply, design, develop/customize, implement, operational support and maintenance of responsive dashboard and mobile app for 5 years post Go-Live.
Gather industry inputs on architecture, integration, AI/ML dashboards, mobile app, governance/security, deployment model, tech stack, ICT sizing, roadmap and cost estimates; submit prescribed annexures and a solution presentation; may lead to RFP / limited tender of capable applicants.
On-premises Enterprise Data Lakehouse / next-gen DWH integrating IT & OT sources; layers for ingestion, centralized storage (raw/curated/production), processing/compute, dashboards & analytics consumption, data ops/governance/security; petabyte-scale, real-time and batch; HA/DR/backup; architecture should allow future move of components to public cloud.
Approx. 4000 end users of dashboards/reports/BI/mobile; ~50 developer users; Prod/QA/Dev environments; present data ~500 TB, expected ~2,500 TB over 5 years; daily data generation ~800 GB.
Integrate existing and future IT systems including Billing (SAP & Rural; future RMS), Smart Metering (multiple AMISPs on CSPs), SAMAST, ABT, and other systems (ERP/payroll, FAR, C-SOC, etc.); SI to integrate other future IT systems during contract period; legacy plus incremental data, typically minimum daily upload.
Descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, prescriptive and semantic analytics for utility use cases (billing, collection, losses, outages, workforce, cybersecurity KPIs, DC performance, demand response, etc.) via web and native mobile dashboards.
Bidder sizes DC & DR compute/memory/storage with N+1 redundancy and load balancing; utilization not to exceed 70% — if exceeded or SLA missed, increase infra at no extra cost; retain all ingested data for entire contract; object/block/file storage; high-performance disk for OLAP IOPS.
Indicative milestones from T0 (kickoff): System design approval T0+2; hardware DC/DR & env setup T0+4; software licenses & install T0+6; UAT & Pilot Go-Live T0+9; Complete Go-Live T0+12; performance confirmation 3 months post Go-Live T0+15.
BSPHCL and subsidiary companies (BSPTCL, BSPGCL, NBPDCL, SBPDCL) with systems across own DC and various clouds; DC & DR ICT in scope.
Approach annexures also seek inputs on Low-Code/No-Code/DXP workflow automation (V.18), Enterprise E-Mail Solution on-premise (V.19), and DLP solution (V.20) — commercial/technical inputs as part of EoI response formats.
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 EoI online only through www.eproc2.bihar.gov.in; delayed submissions summarily rejected.
Application and accompanying documents in English; all pages typed and signed by authorized person(s); no unauthorized alterations; incomplete or non-responsive EoI may be rejected.
Applicants must deliver a presentation on proposed solution/architecture/stack/use cases etc.; date/time informed by e-mail after opening. Eligible bidders may also be requested for PoC/technical demonstration.
No separate physical-original submission deadline or hard-copy envelope structure is specified; process is online e-procurement. Annexure I’s ‘sealed under covers’ wording is inconsistent with online submission.
No explicit Class of DSC is stated in the EoI PDF; submission is via Bihar eProc2 portal (portal DSC/login rules apply in practice).
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.
Six date-extension corrigenda successively pushed online EoI submission and opening from the original 22.04.2026 / 23.04.2026 to 01.09.2026 17:00 / 02.09.2026 15:00. No change to EoI fee (Rs. 5,000) or scope title in those notices.
Available corrigendum PDFs are pure date-extension NITs; they do not amend eligibility, scope, fee amount, or SLA text of Dashboard EOI v4.pdf.
The tender package indicates a further Date corrigendum after C6, but no Corrigendum 7 PDF is present among downloaded documents; therefore the latest document-backed dates remain those in C6.
Finally applying on available PDFs: EoI fee Rs. 5,000; download from 01.04.2026 on eproc2; submit by 01.09.2026 17:00; open 02.09.2026 15:00; presentation TBN; original pre-bid 07.04.2026 11:30 not restated in extensions; full technical conditions remain as in Dashboard EOI v4.pdf.
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.
Clause 1.12 calls eligibility inputs indicative and says final eligibility will be decided post-EOI, while Clause 2 publishes a full 16-point eligibility table and says non-conforming bids may be summarily rejected.
Eligibility Sr. 13 and technical text require on-premise deployment now, yet EOI objectives solicit recommendations on Cloud vs On-Premise vs Hybrid and Annexure V.5/V.11 allow cloud costing inputs.
Eligibility Sr. 2 requires MAAT Rs. 500 Cr (Indian ops) and positive net worth only; Annexure IV certificate text also seeks IT infrastructure services turnover, minimum net worth amount blanks, and positive net profit for last three FYs.
SLA item 5 sets High Impact 8 business hours / Major 16 / Minor 24 / Standard 48, while item 8 sets Critical ≤4 hours, High ≤4 hours, with different penalty rates — overlapping incident regimes without reconciliation.
Annexure II form prints 'NIT NO- 13/PR/BSPHCL/2018' and 'South Bihar Power Distribution Company Limited, Patna' while the live EoI is NIT 13/PR/BSPHCL/2026 by BSPHCL.
Submission clause requires online eProc filing only; Annexure I still refers to technical submissions sealed under covers.
Pre-bid is fixed as 07.04.2026 in the original NIT and 'As per NIT Notice' in Clause 8, while submission was extended through September without a new pre-bid date in C1–C6.
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.
Ask BSPHCL to confirm if the detailed Clause 2 eligibility table is mandatory for EoI responsiveness or only indicative for the future RFP (given Clause 1.12).
Seek written confirmation whether positive net profit for 3 FYs and separate IT-infrastructure-services turnover (Annexure IV) are mandatory EoI requirements beyond Rs. 500 Cr MAAT and positive net worth.
Confirm whether pure on-prem is mandatory for evaluation, and how cloud/hybrid recommendations and cloud line-items in costing will be treated.
Clarify whether on-prem enterprise email and DLP solutions are part of the intended project scope/budget or optional informational annexures only.
Request any budgetary estimate or ceiling so Annexure V.11 costing is comparable; none is published in the EoI.
Confirm whether every applicant must present, whether PoC is mandatory, evaluation weightage, and if non-presentation causes rejection.
Confirm the live eProc submission/opening timestamps after C6 (and any later portal corrigendum without PDF in this pack).
For open-source stacks, what entity qualifies as 'OEM' for 5-year India presence, net worth, INR 10 Cr reference deployments, and enterprise support undertakings.
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.
Rs. 500 Cr MAAT, CMMI L5, 500+ payroll staff, large multi-crore project proofs, and max 2-member consortium create high bid/no-bid and partnering risk; non-conformance may mean summary rejection.
EOI is non-binding information gathering; participation does not guarantee RFP qualification; BSPHCL may withhold RFP, annul process, or award via open tender anytime.
Complete Go-Live targeted at T0+12 with O&M 5 years post Go-Live; bidder must size DC/DR so utilization stays ≤70% and scale infra at own cost if breached or SLA missed; retain all data for contract duration.
Monthly SLA penalties (cap 10% of monthly invoice generally); availability/ingestion % deductions; milestone delay 0.1%/week up to 10% of milestone; security/privacy/data-theft incident INR 1 Lakh per incident outside monthly cap, with right to terminate on serious breach.
All bidder information treated as non-confidential unless explicitly marked; false information/declaration can cause rejection; verification with principals allowed.
Applicants who are not agreeable to the Force Majeure general conditions will be outright rejected — unusual at pure EOI stage.
Non-refundable Rs. 5,000 fee plus substantial proposal/presentation effort amid repeated date extensions increases pursuit cost and timeline uncertainty.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
