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 16-07-2026; submission closes 05-08-2026 at 10:00:00 and bids open 05-08-2026 at 10:30:00.
The offer must remain valid for 90 days from the bid end date.
No pre-bid query deadline is printed. During technical evaluation, 3 days are allowed for technical clarifications. If fewer than 2 bids prevent disabling auto-extension, the portal is configured to extend the deadline once by 7 days.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
EMD is not required and ePBG/performance security is not required for this bid.
Payment is due within 30 days after issue of CRAC and online submission of bills; this expressly supersedes the GTC's 10-day term.
Quote on an all-inclusive Free Delivery at Site basis, including taxes, duties, local levies, transport, loading and unloading. GST reimbursement is actuals or the applicable rate, whichever is lower, capped at the quoted GST percentage.
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 bidder must be a registered GeM seller able to offer a listed product in the relevant category and must demonstrate compliance with the BoQ specification and supporting documents.
No relaxation from years-of-experience or turnover criteria is granted to MSEs or startups. The documents do not state numerical experience, turnover, or net-worth thresholds.
A bidder from a country sharing a land border with India, or a bidder having a specified ToT arrangement with an entity from such a country, is eligible only if registered with the Competent Authority; the bidder must undertake compliance when bidding.
The seller must have proper authorization to offer the goods and authority to contract for its legal entity. A seller debarred from GeM, and its authorized sellers, cannot participate in GeM bids/RAs.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Supply 6,000 metres of HDPE pipe conforming to IS 4984, PN10, PE100, size 32 mm OD (material code 688259321; plant 1002).
Deliver all 6,000 metres within 60 days to Udyogmandal Division Stores, Udyogmandal P.O., Kochi 683501. Delivery is Free Delivery at Site, including loading/unloading.
Provide a guarantee stated as 12 months from acceptance or 18 months from dispatch, and provide a test certificate for the HDPE conduit.
The purchaser may increase or decrease the bid quantity by up to 25% at contract placement and may increase contracted quantity by up to 25% during the contract at contracted rates, with additional delivery time calculated under the option clause.
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 the bid online through GeM as a Single Packet Bid. Participation constitutes acceptance of the bid, GTC, STC and ATC; no separate digital-signature class or physical-original requirement is specified for this no-EMD bid.
The EFT mandate must be bank-certified. Bid documents and later clarification/representation documents may be displayed to all participating bidders after login.
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.
GTC Clause 12 gives 10 days after CRAC and online bills, while the bid-specific term gives 30 days and expressly says it supersedes the GTC. The applicable payment timeline is 30 days.
The item is specified as an IS 4984 HDPE pipe, but the required test certificate is described as being for an 'HDPE conduit'. The documents do not resolve whether a pipe test certificate to IS 4984 is intended; seek buyer confirmation before bidding.
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 Note 2 requires the manufacturer's test certificate for the offered IS 4984 HDPE pipe (rather than a conduit certificate), the tests/results it must contain, and whether NABL/third-party testing is required.
Please confirm whether the guarantee expires at the earlier or later of 12 months from acceptance and 18 months from dispatch, because the word 'or' does not define the controlling endpoint.
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.
Delay attracts LD at 0.5% of the contract value of delayed quantity per week or part, normally capped at 5% of total contract value; inordinate delay (over 25% of the completion period) permits a maximum 10% deduction. Non-performance also allows cancellation of the unsupplied portion, rating downgrade and GeM debarment.
Defects/non-conformance during warranty must be rectified or replaced within 7 days when called upon; otherwise compensation may arise. The guarantee's endpoint is ambiguous between 12 months from acceptance and 18 months from dispatch.
The consignee may inspect and reject goods within 10 days of receipt. Rejected goods receive no payment and must be removed within 10 days at no buyer cost, failing which ground rent/warehousing and disposal at seller risk and cost may follow.
The buyer can vary quantity by ±25% at award and add up to 25% during the contract at the same rates. The base delivery period is only 60 days, and time is expressly of the essence.
Payment may take 30 days after CRAC and online bills, not the GTC's 10 days. GST reimbursement is limited to actual/applicable rates, whichever is lower, capped at the quoted GST percentage; the seller must evidence GST payment on the portal.
The buyer selected neither arbitration nor mediation. Contract disputes therefore remain exposed to the GTC's Indian-law and exclusive-court-jurisdiction framework.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
