All important dates as they stand after corrigenda: publication, pre-bid/clarification deadline, bid submission deadline, bid opening, and bid validity period.
Published on 23.06.2026.
Clarification requests must reach the Purchaser no later than 15 days before the bid deadline; against 22.07.2026 this is 07.07.2026. No separate time is stated.
22.07.2026 at 04-00 PM.
Technical bid: 24.07.2026 at 11-00 AM; financial bid: 27.07.2026 at 11-00 AM, only for technically qualified/responsive bidders.
90 days after the bid-submission deadline; a shorter-validity bid is non-responsive. EMD validity must extend 45 days beyond this period.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
Around Rs 22,56,000/- (Twenty Two Lakh Fifty Six Thousand only), including 18% GST.
Rs 56,000, payable electronically through the e-procurement portal in INR. Portal modes listed are Credit Card, Direct Debit, NEFT and OTC. The ITT additionally contains legacy original-instrument options; bidders should follow the portal-specific electronic direction and seek clarification if the portal differs.
The document does not state a rupee amount; it says the fee is as per the KPP Portal and is paid through e-procurement.
5% of Contract Value excluding annual maintenance cost, due within 21 days of award notification and valid through 60 days after completion of all performance obligations including warranty.
Prices are fixed. SCC payment is 80% on receipt of goods and specified delivery documents, with the remaining 20% within 30 days after acceptance covering delivery, commissioning and training. GCC sets an overall outer limit of 60 days after invoice/claim submission.
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.
Bidder must provide its name/address on company letterhead, GST registration, PAN proof, Aadhaar of the authorized person, and firm bank-account proof. A NABL certificate is expressly required, although its relevance to a chemical supplier is not explained.
One qualification table requires a CA certificate for average turnover of 75 lakhs in FY 2023-24, 2024-25 and 2025-26; the immediately repeated table requires 15 lakhs in FY 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25. No amendment or priority rule resolves this pass/fail conflict, so clarification is essential.
Three years' experience supplying laboratory equipment to Government/PSU/universities/autonomous bodies/Government boards/corporations, supported by purchase orders, plus three satisfactory-service certificates from such entities.
The first table asks for ITRs for 2023-24 through 2025-26; the repeated table asks for 2022-23 through 2024-25. No clause resolves which set applies.
A non-manufacturer offering the goods must provide the manufacturer's Section XIII authorization. Each particular scheduled item must come from one manufacturer; an agent offering the same item from different manufacturers is non-responsive.
Bidder must submit a notarized declaration on Rs.100/- stamp paper that the firm is not blacklisted by any PSU, government company or other organization. Bidders declared ineligible by Government of Karnataka for corrupt/fraudulent practices, and firms associated with the Purchaser's procurement consultant, are ineligible.
No consortium or joint-venture eligibility rule, membership cap or lead-member requirement is stated in the document.
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 27 scheduled laboratory consumables to the Soil Health Center, Sirsi: 25 chemical/reagent lines and two Whatman filter-paper lines, in the listed grades, assays, pack/quantity units and technical specifications.
Destination is the Soil Health Center, Sirsi / Assistant Director of Agriculture, Raghavendra Circle, Sirsi-581401. The Schedule of Requirements states quantities but no completion or delivery period; the Contract Form leaves DELIVERY SCHEDULE blank.
At award, the Purchaser may increase or decrease scheduled quantities by up to 25% without changing unit prices or other terms.
Although the notice repeatedly says 'Chemicals and Glass wares', no glassware appears in the Schedule of Requirements. Generic computer-hardware installation, training, uptime and AMC clauses also appear, but do not match the scheduled chemical supplies.
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 only through the Karnataka e-procurement/KPPP portal in two covers: first cover technical bid with scanned enclosures; second cover financial bid, opened only for technically qualified/responsive bidders.
The legacy ITT says bids must be signed by the bidder or an authorized person, authority evidenced by written power of attorney, all pages initialled, and alterations initialled. However, the tender-specific notice requires e-procurement only and states no physical-original delivery list or deadline. No digital-signature class is specified.
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 AI found nothing to report for this question.
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.
Two adjacent qualification tables conflict: 75 lakhs average turnover for FY 2023-24 to 2025-26 versus 15 lakhs for FY 2022-23 to 2024-25. Neither is labelled as an amendment and no priority rule resolves them; the bidder must obtain a written clarification rather than assume either value prevails.
The first table requires FY 2023-24, 2024-25 and 2025-26 returns, while the repeated table requires FY 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25. No prevailing set can be established from the document.
The title page says ADA/2026-27/IND0001, but the Schedule of Events states AD/2026-27/IND0240. The specific Schedule of Events value AD/2026-27/IND0240 should be used for this procurement, while the title-page error should be clarified.
The tender-specific IFT mandates electronic portal payment, while generic ITT Clause 13 permits original cheque/LC/DD/BG/savings instruments and the document prints a BG form. The portal-specific electronic instruction should prevail for online submission, subject to portal confirmation.
The notice says chemicals and glasswares, but the schedule contains only chemicals/reagents and filter paper; no glassware or glassware quantity is listed. The priced scope should be confined to scheduled items unless clarified otherwise.
The schedule is for chemicals, but SCC/GCC impose computer-hardware installation, software, training, uptime and multi-year AMC obligations. These generic equipment provisions are incompatible with consumable chemicals; no document states that they are deleted, so their applicability must be clarified before pricing.
The IFT estimates Rs 22,56,000 including GST, while ITT Clause 2 contains the malformed statement that preparation/submission cost 'is Rs 130Lakhs'. The specific IFT estimate prevails; the Rs 130 lakhs text appears to be an unedited template error and should not be treated as tender value or fee.
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.
Which qualification table governs: 75 lakhs with FY 2023-24 to 2025-26, or 15 lakhs with FY 2022-23 to 2024-25? Confirm the precise turnover test and ITR years used for pass/fail evaluation.
Must the bidder itself hold NABL accreditation, and will experience in supplying laboratory chemicals/consumables satisfy the stated 'Laboratory Equipments' experience requirement? These conditions may exclude otherwise qualified chemical suppliers.
Confirm that computer hardware/software installation, commissioning, training, uptime, warranty/repair, three-year AMC, 2.5% AMC security and related payment holdbacks do not apply to the 27 chemical/filter-paper items, or issue a chemical-specific SCC.
Provide the required delivery deadline from award/PO, delivery address/consignee, whether staggered delivery is allowed, required residual shelf life and chemical acceptance/test protocol; the schedule gives quantities but no delivery period and the contract form is blank.
Confirm that only the 27 scheduled chemical/filter-paper lines are priced (no glassware), and confirm that Rs 56,000 EMD must be paid electronically rather than by the legacy BG/original-instrument options.
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.
The duplicated turnover and ITR criteria create a direct rejection risk because the document gives no priority rule. A bidder meeting only one version could still be declared non-responsive.
Unedited computer-equipment clauses require installation, training, 90%/98% uptime, repair response, warranty and post-warranty AMC despite a consumables schedule. If enforced literally, these obligations are unpriceable or irrelevant and expose the supplier to default/penalty risk.
Delay attracts LD of 0.5% of the delivered price of delayed goods/unperformed services per week or part, capped at 10% of Contract Price; reaching the cap may lead to termination. On default, the supplier also bears excess re-procurement cost.
Only 80% is paid at delivery; 20% waits for acceptance including commissioning/training. Performance security remains tied through warranty plus 60 days, with possible 36-month extensions for replaced goods and an additional 2.5% AMC guarantee. These equipment-based terms may create disproportionate cash-flow/security exposure for chemicals.
Quoted prices cannot vary for any reason, while award quantities can move by ±25% at unchanged unit prices. Bidder bears inflation, tax/duty, transport, insurance and local-delivery cost risk through delivery.
The tender gives no delivery deadline and no residual shelf-life/expiry acceptance requirement for chemicals. This leaves performance timing, rejection criteria and LD exposure uncertain.
Purchaser may terminate all or part of the contract at any time for convenience. It must accept goods complete and ready for shipment within 30 days, but remaining partially completed work is paid only at an agreed amount.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
