180 days from the Bid End Date. The ATC instead says from bid opening; the generated Bid Details prevail over a conflicting buyer-added ATC condition.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
₹1,18,59,123 (INR 11,859,123), inclusive of all taxes.
₹3,55,774. It must be valid for 45 days beyond bid validity. GeM permits Insurance Surety Bond, account-payee DD, FDR, banker's cheque, commercial-bank BG/e-BG, or acceptable online payment; the bid expressly accepts surety bond. Upload a scan with the online bid and deliver the hard copy directly to the Buyer within 5 working days after bid opening. Eligible exempt sellers must upload valid supporting proof.
Nil; the tender form is free of cost.
5% of contract value; required validity is 27 months (contract period plus 3 months). Accepted forms are Insurance Surety Bond, account-payee DD, commercial-bank FDR, commercial-bank BG/e-BG, or acceptable online payment. Submit within 15 days of GeM award; payment becomes due only after receipt and verification. The ATC provides refund after 60 days from satisfactory completion/extended completion and discharge of all obligations, without interest.
Contractor first pays wages by NEFT by the 7th of the succeeding month and remits EPF, ESI and GST, then submits monthly bills with attendance, deployment, wage-transfer and statutory-remittance evidence. No advance. Payment is for actual deployment after satisfactory-performance certification. The ATC only promises payment within a 'reasonable time'; GeM GTC otherwise states 100% within 10 days of SDAC and online bill submission, making timing uncertain.
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.
Bidder must be a legally constituted company, corporate body, partnership, LLP, proprietorship, eligible individual, or other listed form and furnish constitution/status proof.
Valid active PAN and GST are mandatory; valid EPF and ESI registrations are required wherever applicable. All certificates must be valid and active on the bid-submission date.
Average annual financial turnover of at least ₹2.38 crore during the preceding three financial years, supported by a CA turnover certificate and relevant audited financial statements/balance sheets and ITRs, as applicable. No separate net-worth threshold is stated.
Within the last seven years, satisfactorily complete government/public-body horticulture or sports-ground maintenance work meeting one route: three works each at least 40% of estimated cost; two each at least 50%; or one at least 80%. Submit work orders/agreements and completion/performance certificates. The generated bid also requires 3 years' similar-service experience through each relevant financial year.
Eligible MSE service providers and DPIIT-recognized startups receive complete relaxation from experience and turnover subject to meeting technical/statutory/manpower conditions; valid Udyam/DPIIT proof is required. GeM also allows EMD exemption to eligible categories. Traders are not eligible for MSE service-provider exemption/preference.
Service provider's registered office must be in Madhya Pradesh. It must also have a manned office in Gwalior with telephone/vehicles, or undertake to open one within one month from contract commencement.
Every bidder must inspect the site before bidding and upload the Centre-authenticated Site Inspection Certificate with the technical bid; no relaxation. Failure makes the bid non-responsive.
Prescribed affidavit must declare no current blacklisting/banning/debarment (unless disclosed), no relevant pending criminal/vigilance/fraud/moral-turpitude matter (unless disclosed), and no government-contract termination for poor performance, breach, fraud or misrepresentation in the last three years (unless disclosed). GeM participation also undertakes that the seller is not debarred under GFR Rule 151. False/forged/misleading information may cause rejection/termination and other action.
No consortium or joint-venture qualification route, member cap, equity requirement, or lead-member rule is stated. Eligibility is framed for a single legally constituted bidder in the forms listed in Clause 4.1.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Outsource campus-wide maintenance and beautification of sports grounds/playfields, lawns, gardens, trees, shrubs, hedges, topiary, flower beds, seasonal and potted plants. Activities include mowing/grass cutting, watering, weeding, pruning/trimming, plantation, cleaning/sweeping, manure/fertilizer and pesticide treatment, restoration and garden-waste removal.
Work is at ABV-TCDS/CDS Gwalior. Generated service data specifies 38,486 sqm and 15 unskilled gardeners/labourers; gardener profile experience is 3–7 years and education/certification is not required.
Generated Bid Details state 2 years 1 day, while service data/ATC state 24 months/2 years. Use the generated Bid Details unless clarified. Buyer option clause permits quantity or duration changes up to 50%; after award only increases are permitted. ATC allows manpower to increase/decrease on at least two days' notice.
Contractor bears all labour, supervision, fuel, transport, machinery, tools, good earth/manure, fertilizers, insecticides/pesticides/fungicides, consumables and other resources unless expressly buyer-provided. Generated quantities include fertilizers/chemicals/plants/pots and equipment; ATC says these quantities are indicative/tentative and may increase or decrease based on actual survival needs.
Collect, load, transport and dispose garden waste at contractor cost up to a 5 km lead. Restore/replace horticultural areas damaged by sports, cultural or institutional activity as directed.
Maintain all horticultural areas continuously clean, healthy, watered, weed-free, trimmed and aesthetically pleasing, to the Officer-in-Charge's satisfaction. Frequencies vary by season and need; mowing is generally twice monthly and hedge trimming generally monthly.
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 online through GeM under the two-bid/two-packet system: technical bid and financial bid. Upload all required/supporting documents on GeM. Put every price element only in the financial bid; a price in the technical bid makes the offer non-responsive.
GeM applies Aadhaar-based e-signing, legally at par with digital signature. The primary/secondary user participating must have authority to contract for the seller. Tender forms/affidavit must be signed by the bidder or duly authorized signatory and carry the firm seal where prescribed.
Only the EMD hard copy is expressly due physically: directly to the Buyer within 5 working days after bid opening. Other documents are uploaded; shortlisted/L-1/selected bidder must produce originals with self-attested copies when called before award. No separate physical-submission address is expressly designated.
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.
Generated Bid Details: 180 days from Bid End Date. ATC declarations/conditions: 180 days from bid opening. The generated Bid Details prevail because the bid expressly invalidates conflicting buyer-added ATC conditions.
Generated Bid Details state 2 years 1 day, while generated additional requirements and ATC state 24 months / 2 years. The Bid Details value should prevail, but bidder should obtain portal clarification before pricing mobilization and security expiry.
ATC summary/GTC say 5% of contract value, but ATC Clause 36 says 5% of estimated value. Bid ePBG field fixes 5% and 27 months. Use 5% of contract value and 27 months; ATC's 60-day post-completion refund is the tender-specific release condition, versus GTC's 30 days after all obligations.
ATC Clause 3 limits EMD to DD/banker's cheque, while GeM GTC allows surety bond, DD, FDR, banker's cheque, BG/e-BG and acceptable online payment, and the generated bid expressly accepts surety bond. GeM GTC/generated bid prevail over the restrictive ATC.
Generated bid requires 6 hedge cutters and 4 trimmers; ATC machinery schedule lists 1 hedge cutter and 4 pruning tools. Generated category specifications prevail over conflicting buyer-added ATC; quote to the higher generated requirement unless clarified.
Generated Bid Details state 'Arbitration Clause: No', while ATC Clause 72 provides a sole arbitrator appointed by the Director. The generated Bid Details prevail over conflicting ATC, leaving litigation/other GeM dispute procedures to apply unless amended.
ATC title/place uses Gwalior PIN 474015, while the generated consignee address uses 474005. No dedicated physical-EMD delivery address is stated, so confirm the correct PIN before dispatch.
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 contract duration is 2 years, 24 months, or 2 years 1 day; whether bid validity runs from 30-09-2026 or 01-10-2026; and the resulting exact EMD/ePBG expiry dates.
The quantities are called indicative/tentative and may increase/decrease, manpower can change on two days' notice, and an option clause permits up to 50% change. Please define unit rates, adjustment limits, notice, payment for extra materials/manpower, and whether quoted supervisory charges apply proportionately.
Please confirm the binding equipment quantities, especially 6 versus 1 hedge cutter and whether '4 trimmers' and '4 pruning tools' are separate deliverables.
Please confirm whether valid monthly bills are contractually payable within 10 days of SDAC or merely within a 'reasonable time', and specify escalation handling for all wage/statutory input changes. The contractor must pre-finance wages and remittances with zero advance.
Please provide the exact recipient name, room/address and correct PIN (474015 or 474005) for the EMD hard copy, and issue the prescribed blank Site Inspection Certificate, which is referenced but not printed.
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.
Material quantities are expressly indicative and may rise; the contractor must supply additional resources reasonably required, and restore damage caused by institutional/sports events. Price only after mandatory inspection and seek measurable caps/unit rates.
Contractor pre-funds monthly wages, EPF, ESI and GST; no advance is available. Payment depends on complete statutory evidence, actual deployment and satisfactory certification, with only a 'reasonable time' promise in ATC. Buyer may set off prior overpayments without notice.
Late wage payment attracts ₹500 per day up to the contractor's supervisory charges. Unauthorized/substituted personnel can attract up to five times their wages. Other service/uniform breaches carry discretionary penalties. Breach/non-performance may forfeit performance security/EMD, terminate the contract and blacklist the contractor.
For delayed services outside force majeure/buyer delay, GeM LD is 0.5% of delayed-quantity contract value per week or part, normally capped at 5% of total contract value; inordinate delay (over 25% of completion period) permits up to 10%.
Buyer may terminate for deficiency/non-compliance; both parties may terminate without cause on two months' notice, but Buyer may terminate immediately by paying only two months' supervisory charges/profit/material margin. False information found after award is also a termination trigger.
Wages track Central rates; contractor bears compliance, replacement staffing, uniforms/IDs, biometric attendance, EPF/ESI and worker conduct. Manpower may change with only two days' notice, creating mobilization and idle-resource risk.
Site visit is mandatory and the tender bars later claims for extra payment/rate variation based on inadequate knowledge of site, quantum or facilities.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
Atal Bihari Vajpayee Training Centre for Disability Sports (ABV-TCDS), Morena Link Road, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. ATC prints PIN 474015; generated consignee details print PIN 474005 and name Bhoopendra Singh Tomar. Confirm the PIN before physical dispatch.

HOD grievance email: [email protected]. Buyer email: [email protected].
Hard copy must reach the Buyer within 5 working days after bid opening; beneficiary is Director, Centre for Disability Sports, Gwalior. The documents do not designate a room/person-specific delivery address, and the two printed PINs conflict.
