No fixed pre-bid meeting date or clarification cut-off is prescribed; clarifications may be obtained from IICT, Bhadohi physically, virtually, by e-mail or letter.
Documents require a Bid Security Declaration not to withdraw during the bid validity period, but no numeric validity duration (days/months) is stated.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
No estimated cost, tender value or budget figure is stated in the tender documents or BOQ rates.
No cash EMD amount is prescribed; a Bid Security Declaration (written commitment not to withdraw during validity) is required in place of EMD as Annexure-VI.
No tender document fee or bid processing fee is mentioned in the tender pack.
No performance security / performance bank guarantee amount or form is prescribed in the available tender documents.
Payment may be in INR or international currency (USD/Euro/UK pounds etc.); domestic supplies ordinarily paid on bill after satisfactory receipt; imported software may be paid 100% by LC.
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.
Bids are invited from eligible organizations; the technical form requires status as Manufacturer or Authorized Agent.
Bidder must state whether the organization has been blacklisted by any State/Central Government Department, with details as Annexure-I if Yes/No as required.
Technical bid requires Bid Security Declaration and I.T. clearance certificate; authorization, registration and proprietary certificates are required where applicable.
GST registration number is to be furnished if applicable; it is not framed as a hard mandatory eligibility filter for all bidders.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Supply and installation of Carpet Design software — 30 Nos. License under CBRC-CAD Project at IICT, Bhadohi.
Software must support handmade rug/carpet design workflow: art-to-graph conversion, photorealistic visualization, yarn material estimation, color tools, room view, and CTFX/CTF plus standard image export formats.
Software is to be delivered/installed at the CAD Lab, IICT, Chauri Road, Bhadohi (U.P.) - 221 401, with manuals, free lifetime updates/support, free post-installation training, and a customer helpline.
No fixed calendar delivery period is pre-set; the agreed delivery period must not be extended, with penalty up to 10% of cost for every 4 weeks (or portion) of delay/non-execution.
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.
Bids are online only on the Central Public Procurement Portal (www.eprocure.gov.in/eprocure/app) in a two-bid system (Technical and Financial).
All pages of the tender documents must be signed and duly stamped by an authorized person and uploaded on CPP Portal as acceptance of terms.
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.
Three successive date-only corrigenda extended bid submission from 28.06.2026 11:00 AM to 12/08/2026 11:00 AM, and bid opening from 29.06.2026 11:30 AM to 13/08/2026 11:30 AM onwards.
After all corrigenda: upload deadline 12/08/2026 11:00 AM; bid opening 13/08/2026 11:30 AM onwards; all other original GNIT conditions remain unchanged.
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.
NIT/Technical/BOQ title all state 30 Nos. licenses, but the BOQ sheet lists two priced items (1.01 and 1.02), each with quantity 30 Nos.
A Bid Security Declaration against withdrawal during the validity period is mandatory, but no bid validity duration is specified anywhere in the documents.
Clause 9 requires a certificate that the item has not been sold at a price lower than that quoted to PEC during that financial year, while the buyer is IICT — apparent template carry-over conflict.
DSIR registration certificate enclosed for customs/GST exemption purposes states validity up to 31.08.2025, while the tender was uploaded on 08.06.2026 with bid due 12/08/2026.
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 the requirement is 30 licenses in total, and why BOQ items 1.01 and 1.02 each show quantity 30.
What is the required bid validity period (in days) against which the Bid Security Declaration commitment applies?
Please define the scope of “all updates and support … free of cost for lifetime” — versions covered, onsite vs remote support, response SLAs, and whether major version upgrades are included.
Will IICT provide a valid/renewed DSIR or equivalent customs duty exemption certificate at the time of import/supply, given the enclosed certificate expires 31.08.2025?
What delivery/installation period does IICT expect after PO/LOA, and is the 10% per 4 weeks penalty capped or cumulative without ceiling?
Should the non-lower-price certificate under Clause 9 refer to IICT (this tender) instead of PEC?
Are .CTFX/.CTF and ARS 1200 mandatory exact features, or will equivalent functionality of other carpet design software be accepted?
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.
Penalty may be 10% of cost for every 4 weeks (or portion) of delay/non-execution against the agreed delivery period, with no stated overall cap in the tender text.
Open-ended lifetime free updates/support on letterhead is commercially onerous and hard to bound.
IICT may accept/reject any tender in full or part without assigning reason; may accept part supply; may relax payment terms; negotiation attempts can cause exclusion.
Domestic payment is ordinarily after satisfactory receipt (working-capital lag); foreign suppliers bear all overseas taxes/levies; local suppliers bear taxes/duties until delivery.
Mandatory-looking proprietary formats (.CTFX/.CTF) and features may effectively restrict competition to a specific software ecosystem.
No EMD amount, no stated bid validity days, and no performance security terms are defined — bid security is only a declaration.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
