All important dates as they stand after corrigenda: publication, pre-bid/clarification deadline, bid submission deadline, bid opening, and bid validity period.
Bid dated/published 23-07-2026; Corrigendum 1 was issued on 24-07-2026.
Bid submission closes 13-08-2026 at 13:00:00; opening is 13-08-2026 at 13:30:00. No separate pre-bid/clarification submission deadline is stated.
180 days from the Bid End Date.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
GeM estimated bid value is INR 5,116,426 inclusive of all taxes. The buyer BOQ totals INR 4,926,051.60 with 18% GST; this mismatch should be priced and clarified rather than silently reconciled.
INR 127,910 in favour of AO (Cash), BSNL Karnal. The amended ATC accepts online payment, account-payee DD or bank guarantee; the GeM bid also expressly accepts a surety bond. ATC validity is 210 days from bid opening.
No tender document/bid participation fee applies; the Corrigendum states that asking such a fee makes the bid/resultant contract null and void.
5% of contract value. The GeM Bid Details require ePBG for 24 months; the ATC calls for BSNL-format PBG from an Indian nationalized/scheduled bank and submission within 15 days of APO/acceptance.
Monthly bills; no advance. GeM specifies payment within 45 days of SDAC and online bill submission. The contractor must first pay wages by the 7th of the following month and submit wage-bank proof, SCC, satisfactory-work certificate and EPF/ESI evidence.
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.
Eligible tender-specific forms are Indian companies, firms and individuals. Bidder must not be in liquidation, court receivership, similar proceedings or bankrupt, supported by an undertaking.
Minimum average annual turnover: INR 15.5 lakh. GeM validates turnover from portal financial data; MSEs and DPIIT-recognized startups receive complete relaxation subject to technical/quality compliance and supporting proof.
At least one year of similar-service experience. In the stated look-back period, bidder must also have completed either three similar services each at least 40%, two each at least 50%, or one at least 80% of estimated cost.
Valid PAN, GST, EPF and ESI registrations are required. For this tender value above INR 20 lakh, banker solvency must be INR 10 lakh and not older than one year from NIT. Successful contractor must provide the Central labour licence after award.
Bidders from anywhere in India may participate; the successful bidder must establish and prove an office/branch office in Haryana within one month after APO.
Bidder must declare it is not blacklisted/debarred by BSNL, DOT, Government/PSU/State Government, GST, NSIC or MSME authorities; GeM participation also represents that it is not debarred under GFR Rule 151. All proprietors/partners/directors must give the BSNL near-relationship certificate; false declaration can cancel the bid and forfeit EMD.
A bidder from a country sharing a land border with India is eligible only if registered with the Competent Authority; the signed Annexure-I declaration and, where applicable, registration evidence are required. Subcontractors from such countries also require registration.
The work must not be subcontracted. BSNL may disqualify bidders with a record of failing contractual obligations under earlier purchaser contracts.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
One-year lump-sum facility-management contract for housekeeping, sweeping, cleaning, dusting, garbage lifting/disposal and filling water containers in Karnal BA Zone-B offices and telephone exchanges. Extension may be up to one additional year or 100% of contract value, subject to satisfactory performance and requirement.
Daily cleaning/sweeping of 21,849 sq ft covered and 35,000 sq ft open area at GMTD Office Sector-8 Karnal, Main Telephone Exchange Karnal and Main Telephone Exchange Gharaunda; tentative daily window 07:00–09:30, with core work complete before 09:30.
Indicative 20 daily eight-hour services/shifts across GMTD Office and exchanges/sites at Karnal, Indri, Gharaunda, Assandh and Nilokheri, plus transmission-network and DE NWO support. Quantity/deployment and timings may vary.
Contractor supplies all consumables, cleaning tools, PPE, supervision and labour at own cost. Buyer may vary ordered/contract quantity by up to 25%; short-period additional Category-B demand up to 25% must be met at the same quoted rate.
Price breakup has Part A annual cleaning/sweeping, Part B 20 monthly eight-hour services, and Part C extra transmission/OFC hours. Current wage basis is INR 16,805.10 per service-month excluding GST (26 days); bid below that is rejected.
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 only online through the GeM portal as a Two Packet Bid: technical documents in the technical packet and the prescribed Excel BOQ in the financial packet. All eligibility documents are to be self-attested; required annexures are on bidder letterhead except Annexure-II affidavit.
The Bidder’s Profile identifies the digital-signature holder for online submission; GeM e-sign is legally at par with a digital signature. No tender-specific DSC class is stated.
The amended ATC asks non-MSE bidders to deliver EMD proof/original DD/BG and proprietor certificate/partnership deed in a sealed envelope before or within five days after bid end to AGM (Planning), Room 14, GMT BSNL Sector-8 Karnal. However, Corrigendum 1 says a physical-document prerequisite makes the bid/resultant contract null and void, and GeM GTC instead places any EMD hard copy within five working days after bid opening. Treat physical delivery as requiring written buyer clarification; do not let it replace online submission.
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.
Issued 24-07-2026 as GEM/2026/B/7826936-C1. It supersedes all earlier Buyer Added Bid Specific Terms and Conditions and replaces them with the uploaded ATC document. Bidder action: use the uploaded ATC reviewed here, not any earlier buyer-ATC version.
The corrigendum restates that physical-document qualification prerequisites, tender/bid participation fees, specified-organization experience restrictions, and ATC clauses contradicting bid-detail EMD/ePBG/specifications are invalid and may render the bid/resultant contract null and void. Bidder action: raise any objection through GeM’s Representation window.
No date extension or amendment to GeM Bid Details is stated. Final live values remain: end 13-08-2026 13:00, opening 13:30, validity 180 days from end date, EMD INR 127,910, ePBG 5% for 24 months, estimated value INR 5,116,426, one-year contract; the replacement ATC governs only to the extent valid under GeM terms.
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.
ATC makes physical documents a qualification prerequisite and says before/within five days of bid end; Corrigendum disclaimer says physical-document prerequisites invalidate the bid/resultant contract, while GTC says EMD hard copy within five working days after opening. The corrigendum/GTC prevail; obtain written buyer confirmation through GeM.
GeM Bid Details state INR 5,116,426 inclusive of taxes, whereas the provided BOQ totals INR 4,926,051.60 with GST. GeM estimate applies for EMD/eligibility guidance; the bidder must complete the prescribed BOQ and mirror its rounded GST-inclusive quoted total on GeM.
GeM says INR 15.5 lakh turnover is system-validated with no separate upload. ATC NIT asks CA/audited evidence for 2023-24, 2024-25, 2025-26, but Section III/checklist asks 2021-22, 2022-23, 2023-24. GeM system validation controls the criterion, but upload current evidence and obtain buyer clarification on years.
ATC limits similar work to DOT/MTNL/BSNL/PSU/Central Government/telecom service providers, while GeM permits similar service to any Central/State Government organization/PSU and the Corrigendum says specified-organization experience restrictions are invalid. The GeM criterion prevails.
GeM Bid Details say 180 days from Bid End Date; Annexure-III says 180 days from bid opening. The expressly configured GeM field prevails: calculate from bid end.
GeM requires ePBG for 24 months. ATC variously states 24 months from agreement signing, or 24 months from commencement/six months beyond expiry (whichever later), and release six months after completion; GTC says valid two months beyond all obligations and refund within 30 days after completion. The configured 24-month ePBG is the minimum live requirement; confirm exact expiry/release before bank issuance.
GeM specifically promises payment within 45 days after SDAC and online bills, but ATC says payment depends on BSNL HQ fund availability and work cannot stop. The configured 45-day bid payment timeline prevails contractually; the fund-availability language remains a material collection risk.
Annexure-IV contains a tender-document-cost/DD field, but no fee amount is stated and Corrigendum disclaimer prohibits tender/bid participation fees. No tender fee applies; leave legacy fee fields not applicable unless buyer clarifies on GeM.
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 through GeM whether any original EMD instrument/entity document must be delivered physically and the exact deadline, because ATC says before/within five days after bid end, GTC says EMD hard copy within five working days after opening, and Corrigendum 1 invalidates physical submission as a qualification prerequisite.
Which figure should govern commercial benchmarking and approval: GeM estimated INR 5,116,426 inclusive of tax or BOQ INR 4,926,051.60 including GST? Please also confirm the exact enforceable floor/service-charge validations in the protected workbook.
Does GeM system validation alone satisfy turnover, or must bidders upload CA/audited records? If an upload is mandatory, confirm whether the required years are 2023-24 to 2025-26 or 2021-22 to 2023-24.
Please state the exact PBG start date, expiry date and release trigger to place in Annexure-XI, reconciling GeM’s 24 months with ATC/GTC alternatives.
Please identify OFC route lengths/sites, skill categories, safety permits/tools, expected frequency of digging/cable/pole work, and whether the bidder must price 25 or up to 50 extra hours monthly. These mixed housekeeping/telecom duties materially affect manpower, insurance and pricing.
Please confirm that the configured 45-day SDAC payment timeline overrides the ATC’s fund-availability wording, and state whether interest/compensation under applicable MSME law remains available for delay.
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.
Contractor must pay wages by the 7th, EPF/ESI and other statutory dues first, while buyer payment is monthly and configured up to 45 days after SDAC. ATC says service and wage payment cannot stop even when BSNL payment is delayed or funds are unavailable.
Failure/non-performance attracts non-payment of unperformed work plus INR 500 per day; an unsatisfactory-service complaint attracts INR 500 per day per man-service. GeM LD is 0.5% of delayed quantity contract value per week, capped at 5%, or 10% for inordinate delay.
BSNL may set off recoveries against sums/security under this or other BSNL contracts. Delay beyond two weeks, quality defects, labour-payment failures or missing EPF/ESI details can lead to forfeiture, termination, risk-and-cost completion and blacklisting after show-cause.
Buyer may vary quantity by 25%, require temporary extra services at the same rate, change locations/services, extend up to one year/100% value, and ask the successful bidder to work anywhere in Karnal BA. Mixed OFC digging/cable/pole support goes beyond ordinary housekeeping and is not quantified in route/site detail.
Service charges remain fixed for the full contract; bidder bears consumables, tools, supervision, PPE, insurance, statutory/regulatory charges and transport except the limited BSNL transmission-team vehicle note. Minimum wages vary, but other cost inflation is largely bidder risk.
Contractor bears worker accident/compensation and insurance exposure, property loss/damage, theft reporting, and confidentiality/record-damage risk. BSNL may recover losses from bills/security.
PBG and agreement are due within 15 days of acceptance/APO, and work must commence within seven days of work order. Failure to sign/start can trigger one-year BSNL suspension/debarment/ban.
