Pre-bid queries were due by email on 10/07/2026 at 03:00 PM; the hybrid pre-bid meeting is 15/07/2026 at 12:00 Noon; responses are scheduled for 21/07/2026 at 06:00 PM.
Online bid submission and the physical DDs/hard copy/affidavit are due 31/07/2026 at 03:00 PM; proposals open online the same day at 05:00 PM.
The proposal must remain valid for 90 days from bid opening on the e-Procurement portal.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
The tender documents do not state an estimated tender value. They also specify no EMD/bid-security amount, form or validity, although a general clause mentions possible bid-security forfeiture; bidders should not infer the database's nominal EMD from the documents.
Non-refundable bid document fee: ₹ 5,000 by DD in favour of “Commissioner, College Education”, payable at Jaipur. Non-refundable bid processing fee: ₹ 2,500 by DD in favour of “Managing Director, RISL”, payable at Jaipur.
Successful empanelled partner must furnish 5% of contract/total LoA value within 15 days of LoA, as an unconditional and irrevocable BG/DD/banker's cheque from a Scheduled Indian Bank. It runs from LoA through extensions and remains valid 60 days beyond completion of all contractual obligations; release follows successful completion. The IFB page 4 wording conflict is recorded under contradictions.
Training cost is to be determined using MSDE Common Norms; CCE may finalize the course category and applicable notification. The EOI gives no milestone percentages or payment timeline: the draft agreement defers both to the LoA, implementation guidelines and later notifications, with release against milestones/deliverables.
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.
Applicant must be a sector-specific industry or an industry-promoted/partnered institution and apply only in sectors where it operates or has a sector-specific industry association for corporate certification. An industry whose core business is Education / Skill Development / HR / Placement is excluded from the 'industry' category.
Applicant must be incorporated/registered in India under a statutory Act for at least 3 years before bid submission, hold valid PAN and GST registrations, and have cleared GST dues up to 31st December 2025.
Average annual turnover for FY 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25 must be at least ₹50 Crore for a sector-specific industry or ₹5 Cr. for an industry-promoted/partnered institution. Net worth must be positive in any 2 of those 3 years.
Sector-specific industry: at least 100 payroll employees and 5 payroll/contract trainers in the proposed sector. Industry-promoted/partnered institution: at least 20 payroll employees and 5 payroll/contract trainers in each proposed sector.
Applicant must have at least 1 functional skill development centre in India; at least 1 qualifying skill/vocational training assignment in FY 2022-23 to 2024-25; placements for at least 500 trained candidates in the proposed sector during those years; and at least 200 available vacancies in its own or associated organisations in the proposed sector.
Consortium/JV bids are not allowed, and no part of the project may be subcontracted during execution.
As of proposal submission, applicant must be neither blacklisted nor terminated by Central/State Government or UT. Required declarations also cover no debarment, insolvency, specified criminal conviction, material conflict of interest, prior transgressions and non-compliance with the code of integrity.
Only one EOI may be submitted. Existing empanelled partners cannot apply in a sector in which they are already empanelled; TECH 11 also requires non-association with another bidding entity or its industry partner in the same sector.
Bidder must score at least 70/100 overall and deliver a satisfactory technical presentation; the Evaluation Committee may reject an otherwise 70+ bidder for an unsatisfactory presentation. The separate 'more than 60 marks' appraisal wording is a contradiction recorded below.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Empanel sector-specific industry/industry-linked organisations to establish and operate Rajasthan Finishing School centres in Government colleges/SFUs. Indicative programme target is approximately 15,000 candidates and may increase with State mandate; individual allocations are capped by category at 1,000 (A), 750 (B) or 500 (C) candidates and are not guaranteed.
Design/curate industry-relevant short-term courses as either NSQF-aligned QPs or industry-designed non-QP courses. Non-QP curriculum must be 70% domain, 20% IT and 10% soft skills. Delivery is offline only, 240–540 hours: embedded courses max 3 hours/day; fast-track courses max 6 hours/day.
At its own cost, partner must establish equipped labs, tools/equipment, furniture/fixtures and deploy qualified trainers at allocated premises; no separate establishment cost is payable. Colleges/SFUs provide classroom/lab space, electricity, drinking water, outreach support and, subject to availability, shared IT labs for non-IT courses.
Partner handles IEC/outreach, mobilisation, registration, aptitude/interest assessment, counselling, enrolment, offline practical training, assessment, corporate certification, placement/career support, monitoring and reporting. It must track trained candidates for one year and report placed-candidate status quarterly.
Delivery is at allocated Government colleges/SFUs across Rajasthan; the indicative college list is Annexure 1. Agreement is initially 2 years and may be extended by 1 year by mutual agreement and available mandate.
NSQF-QP courses must follow the applicable QP curriculum, trainer and equipment requirements; non-QP requirements follow the accepted proposal. Partners must comply with programme Guidelines, all relevant government regulations and subsequent Client notifications/directions.
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.
Single-stage, one-part technical proposal must be uploaded at http://eproc.rajasthan.gov.in. By 31/07/2026 at 03:00 PM, submit original fee DDs, one hard copy identical to the upload, and the notarised ₹100 hard-copy affidavit at RUSA Building, Room No. 4; non-compliance causes rejection.
Electronic bid must be digitally signed using a Type III DSC issued by a CCA-approved certifying agency; bidder must register on the Rajasthan eProc portal.
Proposal must be in English, page-numbered and indexed against Annexure 3. All TECH forms/supporting documents must be included; scans and hard copy must be legible, preferably scanned from originals. The copy of the EOI itself must bear the authorised signatory's seal and signature on every page.
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.
IFB page 4 says 5% of the nonsensical “Bank's Capital Amount (LoA) value”, while the NIB says 5% of total LoA value and Clause 2.14 says 5% of contract value. The specific NIB/security clause should prevail: use 5% of total LoA/contract value, but obtain written confirmation before pricing the BG.
Clause 2.9.7 and the evaluation table require at least 70 marks, but Clause 2.11.1 says an appraisal report is prepared for applicants scoring more than 60. The express minimum-qualifying provisions (70 and satisfactory presentation) prevail; the >60 appraisal sentence appears erroneous.
Eligibility bars applicants that are either blacklisted or terminated by Central/State Government or UT. TECH 7 certifies only not blacklisted/debarred (and refers to PSU/statutory bodies), omitting termination. The substantive eligibility clause prevails; bidder should disclose/confirm both blacklisting and termination status, not rely only on TECH 7 wording.
Termination for convenience says compensation may be agreed depending on merits, while Clause 3.8 says no payment at all upon termination. For convenience termination, the more specific Clause 3.7.3 should govern any mutually agreed loss compensation; accrued service invoices and all other termination cases remain unclear and need written clarification.
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.
Please provide the Rajasthan Finishing School Program Guidelines, milestone-wise payment schedule, documentary triggers, payment timeline, applicable MSDE Common Norms notification/category, GST treatment and deduction/holdback rules. The EOI delegates core payment terms to documents not included in the tender folder.
Please confirm that performance security is 5% of total LoA/contract value and correct the IFB phrase “Bank's Capital Amount”; also state how LoA value is calculated where targets are not guaranteed.
Please reconcile “more than 60 marks” for appraisal with the stated 70-mark qualifying threshold and confirm that no applicant below 70 can be empanelled.
Please issue the measurable training-quality, attendance, assessment, certification, placement, retention and reporting SLAs, along with penalties/payment deductions and cure rules. The tender requires compliance and allows security forfeiture but does not quantify these operational standards.
Please state whether completed/accepted milestones and unavoidable demobilisation costs remain payable after termination, and reconcile the potential convenience-termination compensation with the absolute no-payment clause.
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.
Empanelment creates no right to work; CCE may allocate targets/colleges at its discretion with no claim or appeal. Bidder therefore carries bid, mobilisation and readiness costs without minimum volume assurance.
Partner must fund labs, equipment, furniture, fixtures and trainers, with no separate establishment payment, while the payment milestones/timing are absent. Offline courses run 240–540 hours and require mobilisation, certification, placement and one-year tracking, creating working-capital and utilisation risk.
Critical service levels and payment mechanics sit in Guidelines/notifications not included here, and partners must comply with future Client directions. CCE can order in-scope changes; although equitable price/time adjustment is promised, the partner is expressly bound to implement them.
5% security is at risk for service-level/Guideline failures. CCE may suspend all payments without financial obligation for breach and may terminate on 30 days' notice for default or convenience. The no-payment-on-termination clause threatens even accrued amounts and conflicts with possible convenience compensation.
No subcontracting is allowed; partner remains responsible for all resources and a catch-all “any other tasks” directed by CCE. False/misleading claims, poor performance, missing physical documents or failure to furnish security can trigger rejection, termination, forfeiture and debarment up to three years.
Direct liability is capped at contract value, but consequential/indirect loss is excluded. Rajasthan/Indian law applies; Jaipur High Court jurisdiction and Jaipur-seated arbitration increase dispute cost for non-local partners.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
