All important dates as they stand after corrigenda: publication, pre-bid/clarification deadline, bid submission deadline, bid opening, and bid validity period.
Published on 17/08/2026 at 10:05 (as printed in the IREPS NIT).
No pre-bid conference is provided; its date/time is stated as Not Applicable. No separate clarification deadline is specified.
09/09/2026 at 14:00; original/revised e-bids can be submitted only up to this closing time.
The tender-specific bid opening date and time are not stated. The generic OT document cover mentions an opening time of 14:30, but also carries a superseded generic closing time of 14:15 and therefore does not establish this tender's opening schedule.
90 calendar days from the tender opening date, inclusive of the opening date; shorter validity is unresponsive. The NIT does not identify that opening date.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
No estimated tender value or estimated rate is disclosed in the tender documents.
EMD is INR 0.00. Because this is a nil-EMD tender, every bidder must electronically sign the IREPS Bid Securing Declaration or upload the signed enclosed format; omission causes summary rejection. No separate monetary instrument or validity period applies to this nil EMD.
INR 0.00; the governing OT conditions also state that document cost is not applicable for e-tenders submitted through IREPS.
For this non-M&P goods tender: no SD for store contracts up to INR 25 lakh. Above INR 25 lakh and up to INR 50 crore, SD is 5% of contract value capped at INR 50 lakh; above INR 50 crore, INR 1 crore. It is due in the Purchase Office within 14 days of acceptance, in specified deposit/BG/security forms, and remains valid 60 days beyond completion of all contractual obligations. Other listed category exemptions may apply.
100% after receipt, inspection and acceptance by the consignee at destination. Payment requires prescribed bills/supporting documents; requests for payment before 30 days are not accepted. Payment is electronic through NEFT/RTGS, and the supplier must keep bank details/EFT mandate current on IREPS.
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.
The NIT states NIL special eligibility criteria; participation is open to manufacturers, including unapproved/unregistered/untried firms, and their authorised dealers/agents, subject to the documentary capacity and capability requirements.
The bidder/manufacturer must establish that it is a licensed regular manufacturer with adequate technical experience, financial stability supported by a recognised bank/financial-institution report, adequate plant/manufacturing capacity for the delivery schedule, and an established quality-control system.
A three-year performance statement for same or similar stores is required, covering contracts with Railways, DGS&D and other PSUs. Bulk orders may be placed on proven satisfactory sources; a new source may receive only a developmental order up to 5% where technically suitable and adequately credentialed.
An agent must have a tender-specific manufacturer authorisation in Annexure-IV and provide the manufacturer's qualification evidence plus its own same/similar three-year performance and credentials. Principal/OEM and agent cannot both bid for the same item; one agent cannot represent multiple principals for the same item; brokers/middlemen are ineligible.
A bidder from a country sharing a land border with India, or a bidder having specified ToT from such a country, must be registered with the Competent Authority and certify compliance; applicable registration evidence must be attached. Entities from countries denying Indian firms reciprocal government-procurement access are barred for related items, except listed permitted items.
The bidder and all constituents must certify they are not blacklisted or debarred by Railways or any Government of India Ministry/Department on bid submission. False/forged qualification declarations cause summary rejection and may cause EMD forfeiture and banning up to two years; discovered after award, they cause termination, SD forfeiture and possible banning up to two years.
No minimum turnover or net-worth threshold and no consortium/JV qualification structure are specified. The IRS 2025 forwarding letter expressly says JV/consortium tender conditions are not incorporated there.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Supply 8 Numbers of friction disc for pouring crane, PL Code 669803810012, as per WAP Drawing No. 702015310350.
The attached drawing identifies the item as 'FRICTION DISC (POURING CRANE - M.R)', material FERODO-DM1, 18-tooth involute spline with major diameter 86 mm and minor diameter 70 mm. The drawing is for guidance only and the supplier must ensure fitment.
Complete delivery within 3 months, F.O.R. destination/door delivery to SSE Maintenance Mould Room (MMR), Rail Wheel Factory, Karnataka. Inspection is by the consignee after receipt at RWF.
Warranty/guarantee is 30 months from the date of supply/delivery.
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.
Single-packet e-bid only through the IREPS prescribed Offer Form and rate page. Manual, email, firm-letterhead scans or any other form are summarily invalid; revisions are allowed until closing and the last revised bid prevails.
The online tender must carry a valid Digital Signature Certificate and reach the electronic tender box before 09/09/2026 14:00; the system generates an HTML receipt. No late documents/offers are possible.
Bid submission with the digitally signed declaration constitutes acceptance of tender conditions. Information must be in English; other-language material needs an authenticated English translation, which prevails on discrepancy.
No routine physical original is required with the bid. RWF may later call for originals of uploaded scanned documents for scrutiny; a bank issuing an SD BG must send it directly to the concerned authority by registered post A.D.
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.
This 11-page corrigendum modifies the April-2018 RWF e-OT Bid Document and expressly supersedes the earlier corrigendum dated 13.06.2023. Unmodified matters are governed by IRS Conditions of Contract 2025.
For non-M&P tenders, EMD is normally called only above INR 25 lakh; the schedule is 2% subject to INR 20 lakh cap up to INR 50 crore and INR 50 lakh above INR 50 crore, with revised exemption classes and online-only payment. Nil-EMD/exempt bidders must sign the Bid Securing Declaration. For this tender, the later/specific NIT fixes EMD at INR 0.00, so only the declaration applies.
MSE eligibility is updated to Udyam Registration, with exemption and L1+15% / up-to-25% supply preference provisions. Domestic electronic and iron/steel preferences are updated to the 2025 MeitY and DMI&SP policies.
The old 10% SD above INR 1 lakh is replaced for non-M&P goods: exemption up to INR 25 lakh; 5% capped at INR 50 lakh for contracts above INR 25 lakh up to INR 50 crore; INR 1 crore above INR 50 crore; due within 14 days and valid 60 days beyond obligations. Failure can forfeit EMD or trigger six-month loss of SD exemption under the declaration.
Risk purchase, the old general-damages clause, arbitration and vendor-rating clauses are deleted. A replacement termination clause permits full SD forfeiture even for partial default, while IRS 2025 itself states that dispute resolution is not incorporated.
New LD is 0.5% of gross delayed-supply value (inclusive of GST) per week or part, capped at 10%. Post-original-delivery-date price/tax increases are denied while decreases pass to the purchaser. FM notice must be given within 14 days; either party may seek termination if FM exceeds 90 days.
The option clause allows up to +30% quantity during the delivery period, the fall clause is deleted, and Make-in-India is tied to DPIIT order dated 19.07.2024 as amended. The NIT specifically says the option clause is not included, so +30% does not apply to this tender.
The corrigendum also revises M&P payment (80%/20%), warranty BG, EMD and SD ranges. P2265719 is a general goods/friction-disc tender, not identified as M&P, so these Section-IV changes do not apply.
No tender-date extension corrigendum exists in the metadata/folder. Final values are: closing 09/09/2026 14:00; validity 90 days from opening; EMD INR 0.00 plus mandatory Bid Securing Declaration; 8 friction discs; delivery within 3 months; warranty 30 months; payment 100% after consignee receipt/inspection/acceptance; non-M&P SD per amended Clause 15 and no option clause.
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.
The generic April-2018 OT cover states closing 14:15 and opening 14:30, while the tender-specific NIT states closing 09/09/2026 14:00. The NIT expressly prevails over conflicting OT conditions, so 14:00 is the closing time; the tender-specific opening time remains unstated.
The amended generic OT rule would normally levy EMD above INR 25 lakh, but the tender-specific NIT sets EMD to INR 0.00. The NIT prevails; the mandatory Bid Securing Declaration substitutes for monetary EMD.
The original OT bid document requires 10% SD for contracts above INR 1 lakh, whereas the 01.07.2026 corrigendum replaces this with no SD up to INR 25 lakh and a 5%-capped regime above that. The later corrigendum prevails.
IRS 2025 states 95%/5% for F.O.R.-destination dispatch, but also provides 100% for destination inspection/local delivery. The tender-specific NIT unequivocally requires 100% only after receipt, inspection and acceptance by the consignee; this specific term prevails.
The attached Annexure-A form still lists a case threshold of 'More than INR 500 crores', while the NIT correctly refers to the aggregate turnover notified under Rule 48(4), without fixing INR 500 crore. The NIT's law-linked threshold prevails; the bidder should use the attached form only with its actually applicable e-invoicing status.
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 the tender-specific bid opening date/time. The NIT gives only the 09/09/2026 14:00 closing, while validity runs 90 days from opening and the generic OT cover's 14:30 opening time is paired with a conflicting 14:15 closing time.
Please provide the mating-interface/fitment dimensions, complete material specification and acceptance/test criteria for FERODO-DM1, and confirm whether a pre-production sample/fitment trial is required. The only drawing says it is for guidance and shifts fitment responsibility to the supplier.
Please identify the contractual dispute-resolution process, appointing authority/forum and governing procedure. The corrigendum deletes the OT arbitration clause and IRS 2025 expressly excludes dispute resolution.
Please confirm the estimated/likely contract-value band or the exact SD amount that will be stated on award. The tender discloses no estimated value, while amended SD changes from nil up to INR 25 lakh to 5% (capped) above that threshold.
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.
All 8 units are due within 3 months. LD is 0.5% of the gross value (including GST) of delayed supplies per week or part, capped at 10%; subcontractor delay is not accepted as grounds for extension.
The drawing is expressly guidance only and places fitment responsibility on the supplier, but the file provides limited interface/material acceptance detail. Misfit could lead to consignee rejection and warranty exposure.
Warranty lasts 30 months. Under IRS 2025, rejected warranty goods must be repaired/replaced free at destination (or equivalent amount deposited) within 60 days; failure is a warranty breach, and extended warranty time attaches to rectified/replaced goods.
If delivery extends beyond the original delivery date, no statutory tax/duty or other price increases are admissible on late goods, but the purchaser retains all decreases. This creates inflation/tax asymmetry in delayed supply.
Even where SD is exempt, damages equal to the otherwise-applicable SD may be levied for non-performance. On termination, the purchaser may forfeit the full SD even for partial default; claims can also be recovered/withheld against sums under other contracts, without interest.
Payment is only after destination receipt, inspection and acceptance; requests before 30 days are refused. GSTR-1 declaration, GST invoice and other documents are required, and a GST/HSN mismatch is paid at the lower rate with basic-price adjustment if invoiced GST is higher.
The corrigendum deletes arbitration and IRS 2025 does not supply a dispute-resolution clause, leaving the contractual mechanism unclear and increasing enforcement cost/uncertainty.
The bidder must acquaint itself with local conditions; after acceptance, no change in price or delivery schedule will be entertained for those conditions. RWF also disclaims responsibility for last-minute online submission failures.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
