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.

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 whether EMD must be only via e-payment to Centre for e-governance, and whether Section IX EMD BG / checklist item 23 is obsolete or still required.
Does the 3-year free AMC run concurrent with the 36-month warranty or after it? Does AMC start from first commissioned unit or last unit, and until when must the 10% additional BG remain valid?
With 3,767 schools, is the 60-day delivery clock from a single consolidated PO, and is 100% uptime (24x7) literally enforced or subject to exclusions (power, network, school holidays, force majeure)?
Section VII and Technical Bid checklist prescribe different months for latest GSTR-3B; please confirm the controlling requirement.
Confirm exact district list requiring service centres (all districts in Annexure-3?), and whether MoU centres without bidder-owned engineers at HQ satisfy 'Trade license... at all districts head quarters'.
Please confirm the binding timeline to accept LoI, furnish 5% (+10% if applicable) securities and execute the Rs.500 agreement after award.
Is the 20% TPI tranche withheld until 100% schools pass inspection, and how is third-party inspection cost calculated/deducted from the estimated Rs.8852.45 L inclusive price?
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.
Full supply to all Annexure-3 schools within 60 days of work order, install in 2 days, with LD starting 0.5%/week then 1%/week of unit contract value up to 10% of total contract, then termination risk.
EMD Rs.88.53 L locked through award; then 5% PS plus 10% additional BG through warranty+AMC; payment only 40/40/20 after 50% install, remaining 50% install, and TPI — with TPI cost deducted from bills.
Contract demands 100% uptime; breakdown support within 48 hours with penalties Rs.1,000/day/unit (to 7 days) then Rs.2,000/day (8–14 days), and mandatory new-unit replacement after 14 working days plus Rs.1,000/day until closure.
Technical responsiveness depends on physical sample/demo meeting Annexure-4; OEM must have India manufacturing/contract-manufacturing for Interactive Display Board for 3 years with BIS factory address match; equipment manufacture on/after March 2026.
Purchaser may ±25% quantity at same unit price; reject any/all bids without liability; black-list/debar under tender terms and KTPP rules; terminate for default after max LD; supplier cannot assign/subcontract.
Mandatory district-wise service centres for all Annexure-3 destinations; tender itself flags power availability/failures affecting equipment life — yet supplier bears warranty/AMC risk and insurance to site.
Bid above estimated Rs.8852.45 L is rejected; award is pure L1 (tie → higher similar-supply turnover), so commercial pressure is high against expansive SLAs and free 3-year support.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
State Project Director, Samagra Shikshana Karnataka (SSK), is the tender inviting authority and Purchaser.
