Bidder must be a legally registered company, partnership firm or eligible business entity in India, with valid PAN and GST registration.
Minimum 3 years' experience in Cloud infrastructure or managed Cloud services; at least one successfully managed Cloud project, with at least one completed/ongoing project in Government, ULB, PSU, education, healthcare or enterprise application hosting.
Qualified CLOUD technical personnel, team CLOUD certifications, operational support/escalation mechanism required; bidder must not be blacklisted by any Government, PSU or statutory body.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
3-year rate contract to provide Cloud infrastructure and managed Cloud services for hosting Sangamner Municipal Council applications (indicatively AWS-like), billed on actual consumption.
Scope covers Cloud account/IAM management, EC2 server categories, EBS storage, RDS databases, networking/security, backups, and a fixed monthly cloud-management charge covering monitoring, access, vendor coordination and reporting.
Defined response SLAs range from 30 minutes for critical production outage to 7 days after month-end for the monthly billing report; Bidder Declaration also commits 24×7×365 availability with minimum 99.9% excluding approved scheduled maintenance.
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.
Online e-tender submission only on mahatenders.gov.in under द्वि लिफाफा (two-envelope) method by 05/08/2026, 5:00 PM.
Technical Bid must contain eligibility proofs and signed forms (Cl. 11); financial rates go in the BOQ/financial bid; Annexure A is expressly to be attested and placed in the technical envelope.
Annexure A must be attested/witnessed (साक्षांकित) for the technical envelope; Bidder Declaration requires authorized signatory name, designation, date and seal.
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 tender pack contains no corrigendum or addendum; original NIT/tender-document values apply as published.
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.
Cl. 10.2 and Bidder Declaration say quoted rates stay firm with no increase under any circumstances for 3 years, while Cl. 16.10 and the Currency/Taxes clause allow Cloud price, foreign-exchange or statutory-tax adjustments / FX pass-through.
Tender Cl. 9 gives response-time SLAs only; Bidder Declaration additionally locks 24×7×365 service with 99.9% minimum availability excluding approved maintenance.
Background and several scope clauses name Amazon EC2/RDS/EBS, while region/hosting is only 'as per Maharashtra government norms' and branding often says generic CLOUD.
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 which prevails for the 3-year contract: absolute firm rates (Cl. 10.2 / Declaration) or allowed Cloud-price / FX / tax adjustments (Cl. 16.10 and Currency/Taxes).
Clarify whether AWS is mandatory or any compliant Cloud is acceptable, and which exact Maharashtra government hosting/region norms (data residency, empaneled CSP list, MeitY/GI Cloud) apply.
Seek the L1 evaluation formula across Linux/Windows day rates, storage and professional-service line items when BOQ quantities are unit placeholders and no workload forecast is given.
Ask whether the 9% SD is deducted from every gross invoice for the full 3 years, the deduction base (pre/post GST), cumulative cap, and release timeline after contract end/exit handover.
Request written SLA credit schedule linking Declaration 99.9% uptime and Cl. 15 'indicative' penalties, including exclusions and whether penalties are capped.
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.
Payments are expressly subject to availability of funds; bidder waives interest, compensation or damages for payment delay due to non-availability of funds.
9% SD is deducted at processing of each payment along with tax withholdings, with no stated release mechanism or PBG substitute.
Penalty list is only indicative (service credits, non-payment, per-incident penalties, restoration cost liability, withholding, legal action, termination); final penalties decided by the Municipal Council.
Critical outage response within 30 minutes and Declaration 99.9% 24×7×365 availability create high operational exposure for a small municipal rate contract.
No minimum consumption is guaranteed while bidder may be stuck on firm 3-year unit rates despite Cloud market/FX movement (depending which clause prevails).
Bidder bears sole cost to rectify any audit/inspection objections; full exit handover (inventory, backups, credentials, migration support) is mandatory; no suspension/deletion without written authorization.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
Tender is invited through the Chief Officer, Sangamner Municipal Council, Ta. Sangamner, District Ahilyanagar (Ahmednagar).
NIT is signed by Chief Officer Dayanand Gore (मुख्याधिकारी दयानंद गोरे) and President Dr. Maithili Tambe (नगराध्यक्षा डॉ. मैथिली तांबे).
