180 days from the amended bid end date.
No pre-bid meeting or pre-bid/representation deadline is stated in the supplied tender documents.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
Not stated in the supplied tender documents; this prevents bidders from calculating the ATC's percentage-based experience thresholds.
INR 472,000 in favour of Semi-Conductor Laboratory; acceptable forms are insurance surety bond, account-payee demand draft, fixed deposit receipt, banker's cheque, bank guarantee/e-bank guarantee, or online payment. It must remain valid 45 days beyond bid validity.
5.00% ePBG, required for 26 months. Permitted forms include insurance surety bond, demand draft, fixed deposit receipt, bank guarantee/e-bank guarantee, or online payment; submit within 15 days of award.
No tender/bid participation fee is payable; GeM treats any buyer-added requirement for such a fee as invalid.
Monthly bills are payable 100% within 10 days of SDAC and online bill submission. SCL additionally requires manpower/wage records, EPF/ESI contribution details, and any other completeness records with each monthly claim.
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.
Pass either: two similar horticulture-manpower works/jobs completed in the last 5 years, each at least 25% of estimated cost; or one such work in the last 5 years at least 40% of estimated cost.
Bidder must hold ESI and EPF registrations, valid address proof, and a registered office in Punjab, Haryana or Chandigarh.
Eligible MSE service providers and DPIIT-recognised startups receive complete relaxation from years-of-experience and bidder-turnover criteria, subject to meeting quality/technical specifications and uploading proof.
A bidder must presently not be debarred from bidding under Rule 151 of GFR 2017; false/misleading/forged bid documents and failure to provide performance security can also lead to forfeiture and GeM debarment.
A bidder from a country sharing a land border with India, and any bidder with a specified ToT arrangement with an entity from such a country, is eligible only if registered with the Competent Authority.
Only one bid may be submitted; bids by affiliates, sister concerns, associated firms or related parties count as multiple bids and all such bids are rejected with bid-security forfeiture.
No tender-specific consortium/JV permission, composition rule, member cap or lead-member requirement is stated in the supplied documents.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Two-year manpower-based horticulture service using 21 unskilled Gardner (Mali) resources and 1 skilled Tractor Driver, evaluated on total value.
Services cover Semiconductor Laboratory, Sector 72, S.A.S. Nagar, Mohali, including the SCL Campus and SCL Housing Colony.
Maintain lawns, flower beds, shrubs, hedges and avenue trees through daily cleaning and off-campus waste disposal, daily watering, fertiliser/manure spreading, weeding, mowing/trimming, planting/replanting, pesticide/fungicide spraying, and clearance of bushes/wild growth.
Maintain approximately 5,000 indoor/outdoor potted plants, including watering, weeding, spraying, placement at all heights and periodic rotation; deploy pots across SCL premises/housing colony and for seminars, workshops and VVIP visits.
Normal deployment is 8 hours/day, 6 days/week; bidder supplies competent operators for tractor, brush cutter, shrub master and lawn mowers. SCL supplies machinery, water, manure, fertilisers, pesticides, fungicides, tools/implements and new plants/hedges/saplings free of cost, subject to the plant-supply contradiction noted separately.
Base contract is two years from the Purchase Order. The ATC says SCL may extend it by one year, while the bid's option clause limits unilateral duration increase after award to 25%; this conflict requires clarification.
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 electronically on GeM as a Single Packet Bid; evaluation is total-value-wise and reverse auction is disabled.
ATC compliance must be signed and stamped. Participation in e-bidding constitutes acceptance of GTC, STC and ATC; the supplied documents do not prescribe a DSC class or notarisation for the bid generally.
Only the hard-copy EMD instrument is expressly required physically, directly to the Buyer within 5 working days of bid opening. No complete receiving address or named physical recipient is stated.
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.
Published 18-09-2026 with no attachment in the supplied folder. No representation text, buyer reply, or substantive clause change is available to analyse; bidder should review the GeM representation window before submission.
Bid submission changed from 17-09-2026 16:00:00 to 22-09-2026 12:00:00; bid opening changed from 17-09-2026 16:30:00 to 23-09-2026 12:00:00. Bidder action: use the extended submission deadline and revised opening time.
Publication 27-08-2026; bid submission 22-09-2026 12:00:00; bid opening 23-09-2026 12:00:00; offer validity 180 days from the amended end date; EMD INR 472,000; ePBG 5.00% for 26 months; contract period 2 years.
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.
One ATC clause says SCL provides new plants/hedges/saplings free of cost, but the scope clause says supply of seasonal plants/saplings 'has to be done'. The specific free-issue clause appears intended to prevail, but the scope wording leaves a pricing conflict that needs written confirmation.
ATC permits a one-year extension after the initial two years (50%), while the GeM option clause says contract duration after issue can only increase up to 25% (six months on a 24-month term). The bid disclaimer invalidates ATC clauses that contravene bid-detail terms, so the 25% ceiling should prevail unless GeM/buyer issues a clarification or amendment.
The PDF still prints 17-09-2026 16:00:00 closing and 17-09-2026 16:30:00 opening, whereas Corrigendum 4597675 metadata records 22-09-2026 12:00:00 closing and 23-09-2026 12:00:00 opening. The later date corrigendum prevails.
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 state the estimated bid value and exact bidder-turnover requirement/measurement period. The ATC makes experience pass/fail at 25%/40% of estimated cost and the bid requests 'Bidder Turnover', but neither base amount nor turnover threshold is visible.
Confirm whether all new/seasonal plants and saplings are free-issued by SCL or must be priced and supplied by the contractor.
Confirm whether the buyer may extend the 24-month contract by 6 months (25%) or 12 months, and whether bidder consent/repricing applies for any period beyond the GeM option clause.
Confirm whether the displayed 693 (Mali) and 918 (tractor driver) figures are daily wage rates despite being labelled 'Monthly Wage/Remuneration', and clarify why driver ESI/bonus are shown as 0 while the ATC mandates statutory compliance and bonus.
Provide the full address, contact person and delivery method for the hard-copy EMD due within 5 working days after bid opening.
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.
Any manpower shortfall attracts recovery at 10% of the absentee's minimum wages; absence over two days requires a substitute. Price relief is limited to stipulated minimum workforce wage/VDA changes.
GTC LD is 0.5% of the delayed quantity's contract value per week or part-week, normally capped at 5% of total contract value; inordinate delay (over 25% of completion period) permits deduction up to 10%.
Bid security can be forfeited for withdrawal/impairment during validity, false/forged documents, or failure to furnish performance security. Contract default can forfeit performance security and trigger rating downgrade/debarment.
Charging any registration or other amount to deployed manpower causes immediate termination, performance-security forfeiture and blacklisting; amounts may also be recovered from pending bills.
Contractor bears full responsibility for site accidents, must indemnify SCL against claims, and must repair/replace damage to SCL equipment, plants, property and utility lines at its own cost and risk.
Monthly payment depends on SDAC, online invoicing, wage/deployment records and EPF/ESI proof; no payment is due before performance-security receipt and verification. The contractor must fund wages and statutory liabilities, including specified holidays/festivals, before reimbursement/acceptance.
Plant supply responsibility is contradictory and potential duration extension ranges from 25% to one year. Both can materially change consumable, labour-escalation and overhead pricing.
