Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.

EMD is Rs 1,71,000/-; upload self-signed NEFT/RTGS deposit acknowledgment with the technical bid. Failure of successful bidder to comply with award requirements can lead to EMD forfeiture.
Cost of bid document is Rs. 1000/- (non-refundable), payable by NEFT/RTGS to the Institute account; self-signed transaction acknowledgment must be uploaded with the online bid.
Quoted administrative charge/overhead & profit on overall manpower cost (with GST) must be minimum 3.85% and not exceeding 7%; bids outside this band are irresponsive and summarily rejected. Charge remains fixed for entire contract including extensions.
Multiple security formulations appear: (a) security/BG equal to one month wage bill; (b) 5% of total quoted price for three years (with GST) as DD/BG in favour of IISER KOLKATA, valid 36 months from award; (c) Draft Agreement — 5% of awarded value (with GST) within 10 days of Work Order, valid 60 days beyond contract expiry. Bidder should clarify which prevails before bid.
Institute reimburses monthly manpower cost per Annexure-B plus quoted administrative % on monthly CTC; GST paid on total bill inclusive of admin charges. Wage revisions by authority are passed through.
Technical bid requires Bank Solvency (Form B) amounting to 30% of the tendered value, issued not earlier than six months before the last date of bid 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 be a Proprietor/Partnership/Pvt. Ltd company incorporated in India with experience providing Electrical manpower for MEP Maintenance, including minimum one year in reputed Govt./Central-State autonomous institutions/CPSUs. Cover text also requires 1 year continuous similar services without premature termination in Central/State Govt./autonomous/academic institutions, plus applicable State/Central licenses.
In preceding 07 calendar years (works from April 2019 to March 2026) up to last day of month previous to tender invitation month: either 3 similar works each ≥ Rs. 34.00 lakh, or 2 each ≥ Rs. 51.00 lakh, or 1 ≥ Rs. 68.00 lakh. Client WO/completion certificates via Form-C and Form-D required.
Minimum annual turnover of Rs. 1 Cr. continuously in each of the last 03 preceding audited financial years; proof via CA-certified audited P&L and Balance Sheets. Form A years listed: 2023-24, 2024-25, 2025-26 (Prequal text has typo '2026-26').
Valid Class A Electrical Contractor License for 33 kV/11 kV and 415 V installations; registrations with Registrar of firms, Labour license (Central/State), ESI, PF, GST, PAN; existing registered office in West Bengal before bid publication with Trade License/GST and up-to-date Professional Tax (PTPC).
Must have enough trained/experienced manpower as in Scope of Work; must abide by all Labour and other applicable laws with an undertaking enclosed; Affidavit-cum-Undertaking required (stated as Annexure-G in prequal list; printed as Form-F).
Prior IISER Kolkata or CPWD-for-IISER defaulters on wage payment timeline or poor maintenance causing plant damage face technical bid rejection. Non-blacklisting for last 7 years is sworn in Form-F; false declaration can cause forever debarment from IWD IISER Kolkata tenders and PG/SD forfeiture.
Contract is Principal-to-Principal and cannot be transferred/assigned; Contractor shall not appoint any Sub-Company/Agency to carry out contract obligations. No JV/consortium bidding rules are stated.
Annexure-I also asks: ≥1 year continuous technical manpower services without premature termination in Central/State Govt/autonomous/academic bodies; and Electrical manpower (Engineers, Electricians, Plumbers & Carpenters etc.) in a single contract continuously ≥1 year in last three years as on closing date — wording differs from main prequal similar-work definition.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Electrical Manpower Outsourcing Services — supply of Hi-skilled, Skilled, Semi-skilled and Un-skilled workers for day-to-day electrical maintenance at IISER Kolkata Mohanpur Campus and Salt Lake office.
Annexure-A approximate requirement (likely to change): 2 Hi-skilled Supervisors, 5 Skilled Electrician/Technician, 6 Semi-skilled Electrician/Technician, 10 Un-skilled Helpers — total 21 workers. Institute may increase/decrease staff with one day’s notice.
Provide Electrical Supervisor (WB Electrical supervisory license), Electricians (WB workman permit), helpers/technicians per Annexure-A; operate Help-Desk at ESS workstations (office hours Mon–Sat) plus 24/7 emergency helpdesk; routine complaints resolved within 2 hours of logging (per SLA reference).
BOQ requires deployment in all three/four shifts of 8 hours each per day. Contractor must supply/install biometric attendance device (power & internet by Institute). Stitched uniforms and livery per Annexure-G (yearly sets) to be delivered within 45 days of award and each contract year, cost inside service charge.
Staff must follow Indian Standards, IE Rules, and industrial safety norms; contractor bears full accident/injury/death liability and insurance/workmen compensation cost in quoted rates; IISER Kolkata accepts no liability.
Initial period two years (24 months), extendable on satisfactory performance. Deploy required staff on commencement date; submit staff particulars within 7 days of deployment (also 10 days under cl.14). Labour license to be obtained within 30 days of award.
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 e-bid (Technical + Financial) to be uploaded online only; manual/offline bids not accepted. Documents must be uploaded on CPPP http://eprocure.gov.in/eprocure/app. Page 3 also says “online only at GEM Portal” (conflict — see contradictions).
Bidder must digitally sign and upload required bid documents one by one. Tender pages, terms & Annexures I–III must be filled and signed by authorized person with Power of Attorney/authorization as applicable. Technical bid PDFs must not show any price/rate.
Part I Technical Bid (scanned fee/EMD proofs, prequal docs, signed NIT/annexures, Forms A–G, Checklist-A). Part II Commercial Bid = portal BOQ / price schedule only.
No offline bid documents accepted. Performance security DD/BG is required in original after award (within 10 days per Draft Agreement). Integrity Pact and affidavits must be executed on prescribed stamp paper and notarized where stated, then scanned for upload; hard-copy delivery address/deadline for bid-stage originals is not specified.
Tender inviting authority may seek shortfall documents once after technical bid opening within a communicated short timeline; no further requests; submitted shortfall cannot be modified.
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.
No corrigendum/addendum is present in the tender document set; all values are as in the original NIT dated 13-08-2026 and BOQ_968881.xls.
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.
Page 1 and p.3 cl.5 require upload on CPPP eprocure.gov.in; p.3 opening line says electronic tender online only at GEM Portal. No corrigendum resolves this — bidder should confirm the live portal on which the tender is actually floated.
Three inconsistent security formulations: one-month wage bill BG (cl.10); 5% of total quoted price for three years with 36-month validity from award (p.8); and Draft Agreement 5% of awarded value within 10 days valid 60 days beyond contract expiry (24-month contract). Contract itself is two years, not three.
Multiple clauses require salary by the 7th of the succeeding month (with Rs 5000/day penalty), while other clauses require disbursement on/by the last working day of the month (also Rs 5000/day). Both cannot be simultaneous primary deadlines.
NIT evaluation text cites OO No. F.6/1/2023-PPD dated 06-01-2023; BOQ cites the same OO number dated 23-06-2023. Percentage band itself is the same (3.85%–7%).
Prequal criterion 9 requires “AFFIDAVIT-CUM-UNDERTAKING in Annexure-G”, but the printed ANNEXURE-G (p.30) is the Uniform and Livery schedule; the Affidavit-cum-Undertaking is printed as FORM- ‘F’ (pp.27–29).
Prequal cl.3 lists years “2026-26, 2024-25, and 2023-24” (clear typo); Form A uses 2023-24, 2024-25, 2025-26. Annexure-I item 8 requires Rs 1 Cr turnover in Electrical Manpower Outsourcing business alone, while prequal cl.3 states general minimum Rs 1 Cr turnover.
Main prequal defines similar work as electrical manpower for electrical/MEP/HVAC maintenance over 7 years with value thresholds; Annexure-I item 10 instead asks for a single contract supplying Engineers, Electricians, Plumbers & Carpenters continuously ≥1 year in last three years.
Technical bid requires FORM G, Affidavit Form I, Affidavit Form K, and Integrity Pact on ₹500 stamp, and Annexure-II refers to an enclosed Integrity Agreement — but those proformas are not printed in the 30-page NIT PDF (Forms A–F only are printed).
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.
Confirm whether bids must be submitted on CPPP (eprocure.gov.in) or GEM, given both are named, and whether dual upload is required.
Ask IISER to confirm a single formula: one-month wage bill vs 5% of 2-year awarded value vs 5% of 3-year quoted value, and whether PBG validity is 24 months+60 days or 36 months from award.
Clarify whether statutory salary due date is the 7th of the next month or the last working day of the wage month, and which date starts the Rs 5000/day penalty.
Request soft copies of Form G, Form I, Form K and the Integrity Agreement/Pact referenced as mandatory, since they are not in the issued PDF.
Confirm whether EMD must be NEFT/RTGS only to the stated IOB account (like tender fee), whether BG/DD is allowed, claim/validity period, and refund timeline for unsuccessful bidders.
Confirm whether the 3.85%–7% band is applied on manpower cost with GST (as written) and that all Annexure-G livery plus biometric device CAPEX must be absorbed only in that % with no separate BOQ line.
Seek written confirmation whether evaluation uses Prequal similar-work value thresholds (7 years) or Annexure-I item 10 (Engineers/Electricians/Plumbers/Carpenters single contract in last 3 years), or both.
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.
Admin/service charge locked between 3.85% and 7% for entire tenure including extensions, yet must fund uniforms/livery every year, biometric devices, insurance, and overheads — margin risk if wage bill mix or staff strength changes.
Rs 5000/day for late wage disbursement; PF/ESI/GST challan default Rs 3000/day; two-month challan default can withhold admin charges and trigger termination; wage default can reject present/future technical bids; Form-F allows forthwith termination.
Form-F binds contractor to pay wages by the 7th irrespective of IISER payments pending 60 days or more — significant working-capital risk.
Non-commencement penalty 1% of monthly contract value per week; absence without replacement Rs 500/- per staff per day; incompetent staff must be replaced within max 15 days; Institute may get rejected work done at contractor risk/cost and revoke BG.
Director’s quality decision is final; Institute may allot full/part contract to other panel firms even after award; termination on one month’s notice for unsatisfactory service or insolvency; last payment held until liability clearance; name change after award barred.
Contractor solely liable for IE Rules/safety compliance, accidents, injury/death, labour-law violations, and must indemnify IISER; insurance cost deemed included in rates; no Institute transport for staff; no employment claim against IISER.
Failure to deliver uniforms/livery within 45 days of award (and each year) can annul award and forfeit performance security; Institute may buy at contractor risk/cost and terminate.
Conflicting portal, missing Form G/I/K/Integrity formats, and dual Annexure-G meaning create high risk of technical disqualification for incomplete uploads despite good-faith compliance.
Routine complaints to be resolved within 2 hours; standard helpdesk Mon–Sat office hours plus 24/7 emergency helpdesk with computer-literate operators — staffing model must cover multi-shift BOQ requirement.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
