Payments are strictly back-to-back with the client (except advance, if any); partner is paid only after client certifies and pays TCIL.
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.

Bid by Consortium is not allowed for this EOI.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Pre-tender tie-up EOI to select an exclusive consortium partner for TCIL as lead bidder for a client Traffic Management System tender (client tender disclosed after NDA).
Detailed scope, technical specifications, quantities, location, delivery/implementation schedule and standards are not printed in this EOI—they are in the client tender released only after NDA and fee.
Interested parties must sign NDA on Rs. 100 non-judicial stamp paper and deposit EOI fee to obtain the detailed client tender and amendments.
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 submission on CPP Portal (https://www.etenders.gov.in) is mandatory; EOI also on TCIL website.
DSC used to upload on the e-tender portal must belong to the authorized signatory.
If Tender Fee/EMD is via DD/BG/FDR/Insurance Surety Bond (not electronic), submit offline at TCIL Bhawan, GK-I, New Delhi-110048 by bid submission deadline; Integrity Pact also in physical form at bid submission.
Selected bidder must sign MoU with TCIL before TCIL submits bid to the end client (Section-17 templates).
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.
Five successive date-only corrigenda extended bid submission from the original ~25 Jul 2026 window to 24/08/2026 13:00 hrs and bid opening to 24/08/2026 15:00 hrs; all other EOI terms unchanged.
After all corrigenda: bid submission end 24/08/2026 13:00 hrs; bid opening 24/08/2026 15:00 hrs; EOI issue 15/07/2026; clarification N/A; bid validity 150 days after bid opening; EMD Rs. 55 Lakh; tender fee Rs. 11,800; all other original EOI commercial/eligibility/scope terms unchanged.
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.
EOI Clause 1.1 states submission end 25/07/2026 14:00 Hrs and technical opening 27/07/2026 14:00 Hrs, but Corrigendum 1 lists Existing submission 25/07/2026 12:00 hrs and Existing opening 27/07/2026 16:00 hrs.
Clause 3.2 requires back-to-back PS with client (minimum 3% if client does not insist), while the Section-16 PBG format wording refers to 10% of Purchase Order value.
Clause 1.2(l) says “Bid by Consortium is not allowed,” yet the EOI is titled for selection of a consortium partner, checklist item 16 lists Consortium Agreement, Integrity Pact text contemplates consortium bids, and Section-17 includes MoU formats when backend partner is in consortium.
EOI Section-14 and Tendernotice_2 checklist both renumber Bid Submission Form and NDA as 17/18 after Technical Brochure (17) and Integrity Pact (18), duplicating serials 17–18.
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 TCIL to confirm when/how NDA-signed bidders receive the complete client tender, amendments, site/location, quantities and priced BOQ, given bid deadline 24/08/2026 13:00 with no clarification window.
Seek confirmation whether any interim payment, escrow, or TCIL-funded bridge is available, or if partner must fully finance until client pays TCIL, and whether LD/SLA still apply during client-side payment delays.
Confirm exact PS percentage expected from the backend partner (client % vs 3% floor vs 10% template) and whether partner PS must mirror TCIL’s PS amount, validity and claim period to the client.
Confirm whether multiple smaller projects can be clubbed (EOI text says one similar work ≥ Rs. 30 Cr), whether O&M-only phases without SITC completion count, and evidence standard for abroad projects.
Ask whether EOI technical qualification is final without MAF if only an undertaking is filed, and the exact cut-off before financial opening for MAF and OEM land-border undertakings.
Request the commercial model (margin share, TCIL fee, responsibility matrix) that will bind the selected partner under Section-17 MoU and whether partner may bid independently to the same client 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.
Partner finances execution until the end client certifies and pays TCIL; client delay/non-certification yields no payment claim against TCIL.
Liquidated damages, penalties and SLAs flow absolutely back-to-back; TCIL may terminate and execute balance work at partner’s risk and cost for non-performance.
Rs. 55 Lakh EMD locked ~150 days (+30 day BG claim tail) plus post-award back-to-back PS (valid 120 days beyond contract, refund only after client returns TCIL’s PS).
Full client scope, specs and price schedule are hidden until NDA; clarification deadline is N/A; bid end already extended to 24/08/2026 — short residual time to price after document access.
Selected partner works exclusively with TCIL; TCIL may renegotiate rates/quantity if client alters critical parameters; set-off against any other TCIL contracts is allowed.
Only contracts ≤ Rs. 5 crore go to IIAC arbitration after failed conciliation; larger disputes go to ordinary courts in New Delhi — cost/time risk on a TMS-scale job.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
