Contract Performance Guarantee is 10% of Total Contract Value (excluding GST), as SFMS Bank Guarantee from a Nationalized/Scheduled Bank.
L1 / lowest-cost selection on TCO exclusive of GST; recurring cloud charges paid quarterly after SCD; no advance.
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.
Indian company under Companies Act 2013/1956, in operation ≥5 years as on bid due date; valid GST and PAN required.
Must be MeitY-empaneled CSP under MeghRaj with valid empanelment on bid due date; ISO/IEC 27001, 20000-1 and ISO 22301 required; DC/DR in India Tier-III+ MeitY-empaneled centres.
Cumulative turnover ≥150% of estimated project cost over FY 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25; positive net worth in at least 3 of last 5 audited FYs.
Last 5 FYs: 1 similar project ≥80% of estimated cost, OR 2 ≥50% each, OR 3 ≥40% each.
India-based 24×7 NOC/SOC capability; Jharkhand office or undertaking to open within 30 days of LoA; notarized Power of Attorney for signatory.
Consortium, JV and subcontracting not permitted; single-entity bids only; conflicted consultants to JBVNL are barred.
Must not be debarred, blacklisted or declared ineligible by any Central/State Govt, department, PSU, autonomous or statutory body in India as on bid due date.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Selection of a MeitY-empaneled CSP for cloud infrastructure, migration, managed services, security, backup and DR for JBVNL applications, databases and digital platforms.
Annexure III lists 11 indicative VMs (Windows/Ubuntu) for PPCO, Suvidha, website, billing DBs, GPF and future apps; DC and DR must be in India in different seismic zones.
MeitY/CERT-In/GoI compliance; cloud ISO suite; 99.95% availability SLAs; implementation to SCD within 45 days of contract signing.
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.
Two-part online bid (Technical + Financial) only on https://jharkhandtenders.gov.in; valid DSC mandatory.
Eligibility/Technical envelope (PDF eligibility docs, certificates, annexures) and Financial envelope (digitally signed portal BOQ + financial proposal).
Authorized signatory must hold notarized PoA; declarations/certificates signed and sealed; RFP pages signed/stamped as acceptance.
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.
NIT describes hosting of named apps (PPCO, Suvidha, GPF, website, legacy data); RFP title is broader CSP selection for JBVNL applications/databases/digital platforms.
RFP Fact Sheet leaves tender ref and key dates as XX/xx/2026 while NIT gives concrete dates and ref 198/PR/JBVNL/26-27.
RFP requires pure online DSC submission and says hard copies not required; NIT says submit in an envelope containing relevant documents.
Eligibility Sr. 16 bans consortium/JV/subcontracting entirely; Clause 6.6 allows limited subcontracting for GPRS/CDMA/3G/4G SIM connectivity for FRTUs.
Sr. 8 is titled Information Security Certifications but text demands a notarized Power of Attorney; numbering jumps from 11 to 14 with no Sr. 12–13.
Validity is uniformly 180 days, but start point is worded as after bid submission date, from date of submission, or from last date of submission.
NIT table lists publication on 21/07/2026 while the uploaded notice is digitally signed on 22/07/2026.
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 JBVNL to replace Fact Sheet XX/xx/2026 placeholders and confirm whether NIT dates/ref (198/PR/JBVNL/26-27; submission 04/08/2026 04:00 PM; opening 05/08/2026 04:00 PM; pre-bid 27/07/2026 03:00 PM) and the pre-bid query calendar date (01:00 PM cut-off) are final.
RFP requires EMD Rs. 5,61,680 and tender fee with upload of proofs but does not specify acceptable instruments or online payment pathway—request exact mode, beneficiary, validity and exemption if any.
Request corrected eligibility table: is Sr. 8 Power of Attorney or Information Security certifications, what supporting docs apply, and were any criteria numbered 12–13 omitted?
Confirm whether only Annexure III/NIT-listed applications are in initial scope, and detail current Azure + on-prem inventory, data volumes, RPO/RTO targets, and downtime windows for the 45-day migration.
Seek written confirmation that bids are online-only (no physical envelope) and that the FRTU SIM subcontracting exception is inapplicable/deleted for this CSP tender.
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.
SCD within 45 days of contract signing; LD 0.5%/week of delayed portion, capped at 10% of Total Contract Value; delay >20 weeks can trigger termination.
99.95% monthly availability; stepped deductions up to 25% of quarterly recurring charges below 95%, with possible termination; additional backup/DR/incident penalties.
No advance; first invoice only after SCD; quarterly payment on actual approved consumption after multi-level verification.
Indemnity for IP/data-breach claims up to 150% of contract value; unlimited liability for fraud/wilful misconduct/gross negligence; other claims capped at 100%.
JBVNL may increase/decrease any cloud resources during the term; BOQ quantities largely 'As Required', so revenue is uncertain while SLAs remain fixed.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
