Bidder must not be blacklisted, debarred or suspended on the date of bid opening by any Government organization, the World Bank Group, or any externally funded agency.
Contract awarded to lowest evaluated cost among substantially responsive qualified bids; on L-1 tie, higher average turnover of last three FYs wins. Quantities may vary ±15%.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Supply, Installation, Commissioning & Testing of one Fruit Juice Process Plant of capacity 500 kgs/hr for ICON Agri Producer Co. Ltd. at Idoli, Post Sawad, Tq. & Dist. Hingoli.
Scope is an integrated juice plant package covering milling/washing, destoning/pulping, tanks, filtration, chilling, bottling, lab, RO/softener, controls/utilities and SS banding — all to stated minimum specifications.
Documents conflict on completion period: RFB notice says within 8 months of Supply Order; Schedule of Requirements delivery table says 1 Month.
Goods must meet minimum technical specifications; inspections/tests are visual, functional, vibration and performance testing at site; warranty 36 months from commissioning; repair/replacement within 3 days; spares functioning expectation 3 years.
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.
Two-envelope (Technical + Financial) online submission only on https://mahatenders.gov.in under Department of Agriculture – World Bank Tender; physical/email/telex/cable/facsimile bids are rejected.
ITB 12.3 physical originals of tender-fee DD and bid security are marked NOT APPLICABLE in BDS because fee is online and security is a declaration; hard copy of the rest of the bid is not required.
Bid must be signed by a person with Power of Attorney/Authorization Letter; written confirmation of authorization is an Authorization Letter (BDS ITB 20.3).
Financial Part is the Excel BOQ price schedule on mahatenders.gov.in (Letter of Bid – Financial Part is in BOQ form); no separate priced schedules 3/4.
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.
No corrigendum or addendum files are present among the tender documents; original RFB/NIT/BOQ values apply, subject to internal document conflicts noted under contradictions.
Using published cover/NIT/RFB notice dates and fee: sale from 11.08.2026 10:00 AM; pre-bid 18.08.2026 01:00 PM; submission/sale end 09.09.2026 02:00 PM; technical opening 10.09.2026 03:00 PM; tender fee Rs 1000; bid security by declaration; bid validity 90 days.
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.
Cover NIT/RFB table gives Aug–Sep 2026 dates, while BDS still lists May–June 2026 pre-bid, submission and opening dates.
RFB invitation states supply within 8 months of Supply Order, but Schedule of Requirements delivery table states 1 Month.
SCC lists Advance 50% + Delivery 60% + Acceptance 30% + Final 10% (=150% face value), with a note that advance is settled against the first instalment.
BDS ITB 1.1 names Purchaser only as “Idoli Tq. and Dist. Hingoli” with mobile/email, while RFB/SCC identify Icon Agri Producer Company Ltd. Idoli Tq. and Dist. Hingoli.
Generic ITB 12.3 requires physical originals of tender-fee DD and bid security before deadline, but BDS marks ITB 12.3 NOT APPLICABLE and fee/security are online/declaration.
Several equipment lines mix incompatible or incomplete parameters (e.g., mill motor single-phase vs 5 HP three-phase; bottling BPM vs 500 BPH; Made-in-India on tanks while eligible origin is any country).
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.
Ask the Purchaser to confirm binding pre-bid, clarification cut-off, submission and technical-opening dates because cover/NIT (Aug–Sep 2026) conflicts with BDS (May–June 2026).
Seek definitive completion time from LOA/Supply Order for SITC of the full plant, including whether installation/commissioning/training are inside the same period.
Request a worked example of cash milestones showing how 50% advance is settled against the 60% delivery instalment and when the 30% and 10% tranches become due.
Confirm whether manufacturer must show one same/higher-capacity sale in every year FY 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25, or any year in that window; and what proofs are accepted if client completion certificates are delayed.
Ask for reconciled minimum specs where parameters conflict or are open-ended (motor phase, bottling throughput, tank origin ‘Made in India’, customizable tank capacities, lab equipment brands/quantities, utilities/civil exclusions).
Request site readiness schedule (building, power, water, drains, access) and whether delays attributable to Purchaser extend time without LD.
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.
LD is 0.5% of contract price per week (or part) up to 10%, with termination right thereafter; delivery period itself is internally inconsistent (1 month vs 8 months).
No cash EMD, but breach of bid-securing declaration causes automatic 3-year suspension across SMART CBOs/PIUs and various government/World Bank funded projects.
8% Performance Security must stay valid through 36-month warranty plus 45 days, and can be extended further if defects are corrected during warranty.
50% advance needs unconditional BG; Purchaser may forfeit BG on failure to deliver after project-authority clearance; payment percentages are ambiguously stacked.
Manufacturer must show same/higher-capacity manufacture-and-sale in each FY from 2022-23 through 2024-25 — a high pass/fail bar that can eliminate otherwise capable suppliers.
Open-ended or conflicting technical parameters (customizable capacities, mixed motor phases, bottling rates, Made-in-India notes) create scope creep and dispute risk at inspection/acceptance.
Contracting counterparty is a beneficiary FPO (Icon Agri Producer Co. Ltd.), not the State PIU directly; arbitration seat is Hingoli district, Maharashtra.
