Any bidder from a country sharing a land border with India is eligible only if registered with the Competent Authority; false declaration/non-compliance grounds immediate contract termination and legal action.
Offered desktops must meet buyer specifications including Intel Core i5-12400 (or GeM-allowed equivalents per category sheet), Linux preloaded OS, and BIS/BEE/EPR/RoHS or other relevant Indian certificates.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Supply of Entry and Mid Level Desktop Computer (Q2) — total quantity 20 pieces.
Each set: System Unit/CPU (Intel Core i5-12400 with preinstalled Linux or equivalent OS), LED monitor 22.87" or higher, standard keyboard, optical scroll mouse — 20 Nos. each.
Tower desktop (13–26 L) with table-mount monitor system, min. 6 USB ports, integrated graphics, 16 GB or higher DDR4/DDR5 RAM (expandable 64 GB+), NVMe-SSD 500 GB or higher, Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI, wired USB keyboard/mouse, 200–250 W PSU (≥80% efficiency), 5-year on-site OEM warranty.
All 20 units to Bangalore (LRDE / consignee address masked in PDF) within 30 days of contract.
Installation scope is as indicated under ICT in bid (if specified); seller must enable OEM-website product verification via unique serial number; consignee performs physical/functional checks before CRAC.
Seller/OEM must supply factory configuration unaltered, valid verifiable OEM warranty certificate/tag, genuine OS, EPR registration (OEMs), and applicable mandatory/statutory hardware-software compliance.
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 two-packet bid on Government e-Marketplace (GeM); bid also governed by GeM GTC.
Scanned Bid Security/EMD with the online bid; physical hard copy must reach the Buyer within 5 working days of bid opening or the bid may be rejected.
Participation is as a registered GeM seller through the GeM portal (platform DSC/e-sign as required by GeM seller processes); no separate non-GeM physical tender signing protocol is printed beyond EMD hard copy and post-award securities.
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.
Only corrigendum on record is Date-type corrigendum 4523846 published 2026-08-25 with no attachment files in the document pack; it extends bid end/opening from the printed 27-08-2026 dates to 08-09-2026 15:00 / 15:30.
After the sole Date corrigendum, key commercial/technical conditions in the PDFs are otherwise unchanged; only the submission/opening timeline moves to 08-09-2026 15:00 / 15:30.
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.
Bid GeM category technical sheet allows AMD Ryzen 5 5600G or Intel Core i5 12400 Or higher, while buyer ATC specifications/acceptance/deliverables lock the CPU to Intel Core i5-12400 only; category special terms also say buyers shall not mandate a particular processor in ATC.
Bid PDF still prints Bid End 27-08-2026 14:00:00 and Opening 27-08-2026 14:30:00, while Date corrigendum 4523846 (no files) moves the live dates to 08-09-2026 15:00 / 15:30.
GeM category sheet allows NVMe-SSD Plus HDD variants as well as NVMe-SSD, while buyer ATC specifies Type of Storage installed = NVMe-SSD and primary capacity 500 GB or higher.
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.
Will buyer accept AMD Ryzen 5 5600G (or higher) systems that meet the GeM category 'Or higher' rule, or is Intel Core i5-12400 mandatory per ATC acceptance criteria despite special terms forbidding processor brand mandate?
Which specific certificates must be uploaded at bid stage under 'Certificate (Requested in ATC)' — BIS, BEE, EPR, RoHS product certificates, OEM EPR registration proof, or others — and in whose name (bidder vs OEM)?
Has the buyer enabled Installation, Commissioning and Testing (ICT) for this bid, and if yes what is the exact installation location list and acceptance sign-off process beyond serial-number OEM-website verification?
Office name and consignee address are masked as *********** in the bid PDF — what is the exact postal address and addressee for the EMD hard copy due within 5 working days of bid opening?
ATC acceptance allows 'preinstalled Linux or equivalent OS' — which non-Linux OS, if any, is treated as equivalent, and must the OS be factory pre-loaded by the desktop OEM as stated in the GeM category sheet?
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.
Delay LD is 0.5% of contract value of delayed quantity per week (or part) up to 5% of total contract value (10% if inordinate delay >25% of completion period), against a short 30-day delivery for 20 desktops with 5-year warranty support chain.
ePBG at 3% must remain valid 63 months; payments are withheld until PS is received and verified; failure to furnish PS in 15 days risks EMD forfeiture and debarment exposure.
Buyer ATC appears to mandate Intel Core i5-12400 despite category special terms and GeM disclaimer against brand/make mandates — creates evaluation uncertainty and potential bid cancellation risk.
After technical qualification, reverse auction runs with H1 elimination (subject to listed exceptions), which can compress margins after two-packet submission.
Buyer enabled display of documents uploaded by bidders to all participating bidders (including clarification/representation documents after login), increasing confidentiality risk for commercial/technical uploads.
Late/missing EMD hard copy can cause rejection; EMD is forfeited for withdrawal/modification during validity, false documents, or failure to furnish performance security; land-border false declaration can terminate the contract immediately.
5-year on-site OEM warranty with serial-number verification on OEM website; refurbished-supply vigilance and CRAC checks shift post-delivery rejection/replacement risk to seller.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
Ministry of Defence — Department of Defence Research & Development — Organisation: Office Of Dg (ecs); buyer entity referenced as LRDE Bangalore.
HOD grievance redressal email: [email protected]; Buyer email: [email protected].
EMD and performance security, where applicable, must be in favour of beneficiary: The Director, LRDE Bangalore (Lrde).
Consignee/Reporting Officer identity and full address are masked; location line shows BANGALORE; quantity 20.
