All important dates as they stand after corrigenda: publication, pre-bid/clarification deadline, bid submission deadline, bid opening, and bid validity period.
20.07.2026. The tender documents state the issue date but do not state a publication time.
Queries may be submitted up to five (5) days from the tender's issuance, by email to [email protected]. The RFP expresses this as a relative deadline rather than printing a separate calendar date/time.
05.08.2026 by 5:00 PM, through www.tendersodisha.gov.in.
06.08.2026 by 12:00 PM. The financial opening will be notified later through the e-tender portal/email to technically qualified bidders.
180 days from opening of the technical proposal; extension is by mutual consent and the bid security must be extended correspondingly.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
₹11,800, comprising ₹10,000 plus ₹1,800 GST at 18%; non-refundable, payable online, with proof attached to the technical bid.
INR 42,00,000, payable online and valid for at least 225 days from the last bid-submission date. It is interest-free; the successful bidder's EMD is returned only after performance security and contract signing.
5% of Total Bid Value excluding taxes, furnished within 15 days after LoA as a Bank Guarantee/e-Bank Guarantee from a commercial bank in India, initially valid 68 months. It is released 60 days after warranty completion subject to all obligations.
No advance. 40% of Total Order Value (Base Price), with 18% GST on the Total Base Order Value, is payable within 30 days after Milestone 1 delivery/inspection; 40% within 30 days after complete CoE setup; the final 20% is paid in three equal annual instalments after each year's hand-holding, certification and placement deliverables.
Bidders must quote three annual CAMC prices for years 6-8. Each annual awarded value is paid 100% within 30 days after annual completion, satisfactory performance, tax invoice and Principal certification.
Before the three-year CAMC, the selected agency must provide 5% of the annual CAMC cost excluding taxes as BG/FDR/TDR, initially valid 15 months; each year's security is returned only after confirmation of the subsequent year's instrument.
Prices are fixed with no escalation. The project price must include taxes and all packing, freight, insurance, unloading, civil/electrical/other works, installation, commissioning, 60-month warranty and 36-month hand-holding; imported-item customs clearance and taxes are bidder's responsibility.
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 an Indian company, registered partnership, LLP, proprietorship, or eligible JV/consortium, supported by registration/incorporation records, PAN and GST registration.
Bidder must be the OEM or its authorized channel/technology partner. OEMs submit the manufacturing licence; partners submit bid-specific OEM authorization/undertaking covering technology/product updates and warranty support, plus the OEM manufacturing licence.
At least three years' operation in the relevant field as of RFP issue, with audited financial statements and ITRs for FY 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25 and latest GSTR-3B. Provisional audit reports are not accepted.
Average annual turnover of bidder/consortium over FY 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25 must be at least ₹11 Crore. FY 2024-25 net worth must be positive and must not have eroded by more than 30% over the last three years ending 31st Mar 2026.
During the last three financial years: either same-sector equipment/machinery government orders totalling ₹4 Cr (single or multiple), or government orders totalling ₹2 Cr plus private orders totalling ₹5 Cr. Work orders/contracts and completion/performance/commissioning evidence are required.
At least two qualified resource persons per CoE: Graduate Engineer with minimum two years' industry experience, or Diploma Engineer with three years' relevant industry experience.
Agency/OEM must hold ISO certification; bidder/vendor must provide applicable valid ISO/ISI and machinery test certificates. Product-wise brochures/catalogues and technical data must establish compliance; merely copying specifications without original signed catalogues is rejectable.
Bidder must not be blacklisted or presently barred by any Central/State Government, statutory authority, PSU or government agency. In the last three years bidder/associate must not have failed performance evidenced by arbitral/judicial penalty, been expelled, or had a public contract terminated for breach. Any conflict of interest is disqualifying.
Maximum three members; OEM/authorized partner must lead and execute the contract; no subcontracting. Lead share is at least 50%, every other member at least 20%; criteria may be aggregated. Members are jointly/severally liable, one entity may join only one consortium, and membership cannot change after bid submission.
For the same CoE, either OEM or its authorized partner may bid, not both; a partner cannot represent another OEM. Simultaneous OEM/partner participation disqualifies both and forfeits EMD.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Design, build, operate and transfer four state-of-the-art CoEs in Advanced CNC Machining and Manufacturing, including complete lab setup, industrial-standard hardware, unrestricted industrial-feature software, supply, installation, commissioning and maintenance.
One CoE each at Govt. PCITI Baripada (Mayurbhanj), Govt. ITI Pottangi (Koraput), Govt. ITI Raighar (Nabarangpur), and Govt. ITI Parjang.
Each CoE receives six CNC machine centres (two CNC turning, one turn-mill, two VMC and one simultaneous 5-axis VMC), compressor/dryer, metrology and tooling, 100 kVA UPS; a CNC simulation lab with 15 student and one teacher console plus UPS; CAD/CAM lab with 16-user perpetual Mastercam and 16 high-end computers; and additive manufacturing lab with FDM printer, MSLA printer and 3D scanner.
Bidder completes civil, epoxy flooring, electrical connections from the nearest panel, grounding, plumbing and other installation works; supplies all necessary accessories/toolkits, fire safety equipment, safety/training posters, branding/digital hoarding, manuals, foundation/site drawings, consumables and operating inputs needed for commissioning and hand-holding at no extra charge.
Provide 36 months' hand-holding: up to four annual batches of 20 trainees, one-month trainer and three-month trainee programmes, curriculum at least equivalent to NSQF level 5/6, assessments/certification, two trainers per CoE, and placement opportunities for at least 50% of successfully trained/certified trainees within one year of certification.
Supply within four months of contract signing; full setup/installation/commissioning within six months under the milestone schedule. Comprehensive warranty is 60 months from successful commissioning, excluding tools, tackles, consumables and PPE, followed by a mandatory minimum three-year CAMC.
DTE&T provides the lab space, nearest three-phase supply point, water/approach access and stated basic amenities, furniture and air-conditioning if required. Warranty/CAMC exclude consumables, PPE and tools/tackles; bidder remains responsible for downstream connections and installation works.
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.
Submit online only at www.tendersodisha.gov.in in two electronic covers: Cover 1 Technical and Cover 2 Financial. Cover 2 contains the portal BOQ MS-Excel plus signed/sealed PDF FIN-1 and equipment-wise cost breakup.
Proposal must be complete and indexed; every page must be numbered and signed by the authorized representative. Tender documents and all enclosures require the competent authority's signature. No DSC class is specified in the RFP.
The RFP mandates online-only submission and gives no separate physical-original delivery address or deadline. References to an 'original' checklist/Power of Attorney must therefore be uploaded in the technical cover unless the portal/authority directs otherwise.
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.
Operative clauses require both fee and EMD through online mode, but Annexure I asks for a DD scan for fee and a BG scan for EMD. The specific payment clauses/fact sheet should prevail for bidding: pay online and upload portal proof; seek portal clarification if it exposes DD/BG fields.
Eligibility and the technical-bid clause require ITRs/audits for FY 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25, while Annexure I incorrectly lists FY 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023-24. The current specific eligibility clause should prevail: submit 2022-23 through 2024-25 (and consider adding 2021-22 defensively if available).
The contract is stated as 66 months from LoA, but the mandatory three-year CAMC starts only after the 60-month warranty following commissioning, extending obligations well beyond 66 months. No precedence rule resolves this; bidders should price the full warranty-plus-CAMC obligation and obtain an amendment clarifying the contract end date.
Scope clause 13 requires CAMC signing two months before the 60-month warranty expires; Section VI(iv) only says before expiry. The earlier and more specific two-month lead time is the safer requirement unless clarified.
The factsheet gives the DTE&T address PIN 753001, while the CAMC proforma prints 751001. For bidding/contact use the repeated factsheet and bid-form address, 753001; correct the CAMC draft before execution.
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 confirm that tender fee and EMD must be paid online and that Annexure I references to DD/BG scans are obsolete; also confirm exactly which portal-generated receipts must be uploaded.
Please amend the stated 66-month contract duration to reconcile the 60-month post-commissioning warranty and subsequent three-year CAMC, and state the exact final expiry/claim date for the initial 68-month performance BG.
Please issue site-wise drawings/condition reports and a responsibility matrix defining DTE&T-provided infrastructure versus bidder civil, flooring, electrical, plumbing, furniture and AC obligations, plus the site-readiness acceptance mechanism that starts installation time.
Please correct Annexure I to FY 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25, consistent with eligibility, and confirm whether FY 2021-22 documents are unnecessary.
Please define the minimum trainee intake actually guaranteed per CoE/year, acceptable evidence for the 50% placement outcome, treatment of trainees refusing offers, and whether annual Milestone 3 payment can be withheld for factors outside the bidder's control.
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.
Late delivery attracts 0.5% of the undelivered order portion per week; delivery and commissioning charges are independent, with cumulative cap 5% of total Bid Value. Delay charges also apply during 60-month warranty, recoverable from payments/performance security; DTE&T may cancel pending work and complete it through another bidder.
20% of order value is deferred across three annual hand-holding/placement milestones, with no advance. Payment depends on training, certification and placement outcomes, creating working-capital and outcome-dependency risk.
Price is fixed without escalation and must absorb unspecified customary components, imported-item customs/taxes, all downstream civil/electrical/plumbing works and operating consumables during commissioning/hand-holding. Site conditions are not quantified in the tender.
Initial 5% security is held through the 60-month warranty and released only 60 days later; separate annual 5% CAMC security then rolls forward. The 66-month contract statement does not reconcile the additional three CAMC years.
Warranty requires attendance within one week, minor repair within three days, major replacement within 15 days and imported-part replacement within four weeks. CAMC imposes 0.5% of total contract value per week for delay, capped at 5%; off-site repair may require security equal to equipment cost.
DTE&T may reject/cancel before award without reasons or liability, and can terminate for any failure to comply with quality, specification or RFP clauses. Conditional bids, incomplete documents, or any pricing information in technical materials are disqualifying.
If a JV/consortium breaks up before award, during validity, after award or during the contract, all members face normal penalties plus at least 24 months' debarment from future bids.
