Key dates
All important dates as they stand after corrigenda: publication, pre-bid/clarification deadline, bid submission deadline, bid opening, and bid validity period.
3
Current bid schedule
Published/dated 10-07-2026; bid submission closes 31-07-2026 at 20:00:00; bid opening is 31-07-2026 at 20:30:00. No pre-bid meeting or clarification deadline is specified in the supplied tender documents.
The stated end date may be auto-extended by 5 days, up to 2 times, unless at least 3 bids are received; no extension has been issued in the supplied documents.
Bid validity
150 days from the bid end date. The specification attachment's 90-day 'quotation' validity is superseded by the bid-specific 150-day requirement.
Automatic extension rule
If fewer than 3 bids are received, GeM may extend the bid by 5 days, with a maximum of 2 automatic extensions.
Financials
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
4
Estimated value and tender fee
The supplied documents do not state an estimated tender value or tender-document fee. The GeM disclaimer says asking for a tender/bid-participation fee through buyer-added terms would invalidate the bid.
EMD / bid security
INR 100,000 in favour of the Registrar, Office of the Registrar Finance, Banaras Hindu University. It must remain valid for 45 days beyond the 150-day bid validity.
Acceptable GeM forms are Insurance Surety Bond, Account Payee Demand Draft, Fixed Deposit Receipt, Banker's Cheque, Bank Guarantee/e-Bank Guarantee, or acceptable online payment.
The bid specifically permits a surety bond and an Account Payee DD in favour of The Registrar, BHU, payable at Varanasi.
Eligible MSE manufacturers, DPIIT-recognised start-ups, specified bodies, valid vendor-assessed sellers, valid BIS-license holders, PSUs, and buyer-designated registrations may claim exemption subject to the GTC and uploaded proof; traders are not eligible for the MSE exemption.
Performance security
3.00% of contract value for 62 months. It is due within 15 days of award; the bid permits PBG or Account Payee DD, while the GTC also recognises surety bond, FDR, BG/e-BG and acceptable online payment.
The 62 months aligns with the GTC requirement that security remain valid for 2 months beyond all contractual obligations, including the 5-year warranty.
Payment does not become due until the Buyer receives and verifies the performance security; no interest is payable on it.
Price and payment
Price must be all-inclusive at consignee destination, including taxes, delivery/loading-unloading, installation, commissioning, training and statutory clearances. For goods, 100% payment is due within 10 days after CRAC and online bill submission, unless a more specific term applies.
Eligibility
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.
10
Bidder turnover
Minimum average annual turnover: INR 20 lakh over the last 3 years ending 31 March of the previous financial year. MSE and Startup relaxations for turnover/experience are both marked 'No'.
OEM turnover
The offered product's OEM must have minimum average annual turnover of INR 100 lakh over the last 3 years ending 31 March of the previous financial year.
Experience
The bidder or its OEM, itself or through resellers, must have regularly manufactured and supplied the same/similar category products to a Central/State Government organisation or PSU in each of the required 3 financial years before bid opening.
Past performance
The bidder or OEM must have supplied the same/similar category products equal to 50% of the bid quantity in at least one of the last 3 financial years before bid opening; for this 2-unit bid, that is 1 unit.
OEM status and authorisation
Only the OEM or an OEM-authorised bidder holding a tender-specific authorisation letter may bid.
Regulatory and quality certifications
Bidder/OEM must hold valid quality/safety certification and valid manufacturing licence plus marketing certificate from the State Drugs Control/Licensing Authority; all must be valid on the submission deadline and throughout the contract. The technical specification specifically requires USFDA and European CE.
Financial standing
The bidder must not be under liquidation, court receivership, bankruptcy or similar proceedings.
Service and imported-product presence
For imported products, the OEM or authorised seller must have a registered office in India. The bidder/OEM must provide a dedicated/toll-free support number and escalation matrix; service-centre requirements apply where carry-in warranty is used.
Debarment and border-country restrictions
The seller must not presently be debarred under GFR Rule 151. A bidder from a country sharing a land border with India, or any bidder with a specified technology-transfer arrangement with such an entity, is eligible only if registered with the Competent Authority; false declaration/non-compliance can cause termination, debarment and legal action.
Consortium / JV
No bid-specific consortium/JV structure, member cap, lead-member rule, equity floor or combined-qualification rule is stated. The GTC only treats a consortium/JV member as a bidder for the land-border restriction, so bidders should not assume aggregation of credentials.
Scope of work
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
5
Supply quantity and destination
Supply 2 Hemodialysis Machines with SLED and HDF to Dr Shivendra Singh at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi 221005.
Included deliverables
The all-inclusive scope is supply, installation, testing, commissioning, operator training and any required statutory clearances, with free delivery/loading-unloading at site.
Delivery period
The applicable consignee delivery schedule is 45 days. The attached specification says 7-8 weeks from confirmed purchase order, but the item/consignee schedule is the more specific bid delivery field and should govern unless the Buyer clarifies otherwise.
Technical and warranty scope
Machines must meet the detailed two-page specification, including SLED/HDF modes, open-system universal bloodlines, built-in Kt/V, ABPM, 20-minute battery backup, two dialysate ultra-pure filters, USFDA and European CE certification, and 5-year warranty from final acceptance or completion of installation/commissioning/testing.
Post-warranty and quantity option
Bidder must submit a post-warranty CMC proposal. The Purchaser may decrease or increase the initial quantity by up to 25%, and may increase contracted quantity by up to another 25% during the contract at contracted rates, with calculated additional delivery time.
Required documents & submission
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.
25
Online two-packet submission
Submit through the GeM e-bidding portal as a Two Packet Bid. Put all price elements only in the financial bid; any price in the technical bid makes the offer non-responsive. GeM applies Aadhaar-based e-signing, which is legally at par with a digital signature.
Physical originals
For a DD-based EMD, upload the scanned proof with the bid and deliver the hardcopy to the Buyer within 5 days of the Bid End/Bid Opening date. For a DD-based performance security, upload the scan after award and deliver the original within 15 days of award. No other physical document may be made a pre-qualification prerequisite under the bid disclaimer.
Signing and disclosure
No separate notarisation/attestation rule is stated for general bid documents beyond the expressly notarised drug-manufacturer undertaking. Documents submitted as clarifications or representations will be visible to other participating bidders after login.
Corrigendum analysis
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.
Contradictions
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.
3
Delivery period: 45 days vs 7-8 weeks
The consignee schedule requires 45 days, while the specification attachment says 7-8 weeks from confirmed purchase order. With no corrigendum, the explicit consignee delivery field is more specific and 45 days should be treated as applicable; obtain Buyer confirmation before pricing logistics.
Offer validity: 150 days vs 90 days
The Bid Details require 150 days from bid end, but the specification attachment says the 'Quotation' is valid for 90 days. The bid-specific validity field prevails: submit an offer valid for 150 days.
EMD hardcopy deadline: 5 days vs 5 working days
The buyer-specific clause requires DD hardcopy within 5 days of Bid End/Bid Opening, whereas the GTC gives 5 working days from bid opening. The buyer-specific ATC has precedence over the GTC, so follow the shorter 5-day requirement.
Pre-bid queries
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.
6
Confirm delivery deadline
Please confirm whether delivery, installation, testing and commissioning must be completed within 45 days or within 7-8 weeks, and identify the commencement event (GeM contract award, purchase order, or confirmed PO).
Confirm certification equivalence
Are both USFDA and European CE mandatory, or will an equivalent valid National/International certification from the ATC list be accepted? This directly affects product eligibility.
Define CMC commercial requirement
Specify the post-warranty CMC duration, coverage, preventive-maintenance frequency, uptime/response-time obligations, spares/consumables inclusions, price format, tax treatment and whether CMC price participates in bid evaluation.
Clarify regulatory documents
Confirm what is meant by 'marketing certificate', whether CDSCO/State licence is acceptable for imported medical devices, and whose licence/certificate must be submitted by an authorised reseller.
Clarify EMD original deadline and address
Confirm whether the DD original is due within 5 calendar days or 5 working days, the exact cut-off time, and the complete physical delivery address/contact person at the Office of the Registrar Finance.
Confirm bid validity
Confirm that the operative validity is 150 days from bid end and that the 90-day quotation-validity statement in the specification is inapplicable.
Risks
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.
8
Delay damages and default
Delay attracts LD at 0.5% of delayed quantity's contract value per week or part, normally capped at 5% of total contract value; inordinate delay (more than 25% of completion period) can raise the maximum to 10%. Default can also trigger cancellation of the unsupplied portion, performance-security forfeiture, rating downgrade and debarment.
Tight and conflicting delivery schedule
The governing schedule appears to be 45 days for supply plus installation/testing/commissioning/training, but the specification says 7-8 weeks. Price expedited import, regulatory clearance and site-readiness risk against the shorter period until clarified.
Long security and payment lock
A 3% performance security is required for 62 months and payment becomes due only after its receipt and verification. This creates a five-year-plus bank-limit/cash-security burden and can delay cash collection if security verification stalls.
Quantity variation
The Purchaser may vary the original order by ±25% and may add up to 25% of contracted quantity during contract currency at the same rates. Bid pricing and supply planning must tolerate volume changes without repricing.
Five-year warranty exposure
Warranty runs 5 years from final acceptance or completion of installation/commissioning/testing. Seller must rectify breakdowns and maintain an Indian service capability; the documents set no response-time or uptime boundary, increasing uncertain lifecycle cost.
Undefined post-warranty CMC
A CMC proposal is mandatory, but the documents do not state duration, coverage, evaluation methodology or price schedule. An unqualified proposal could create open-ended commercial exposure or technical rejection risk.
Broad buyer cancellation discretion
The Buyer expressly reserves the right to cancel or reject the bid without assigning a reason, creating unrecoverable bid-preparation and instrument-arrangement cost risk.
All-inclusive fixed-price exposure
The landed offer must absorb taxes, transport, loading/unloading, installation, commissioning, training and clearances. No post-deadline upward price increase is allowed during an extended delivery period, while the Buyer receives the benefit of GST decreases.
Contacts
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
3
