23-09-2026 at 16:30:00.
120 days from the Bid End Date; extension thereafter requires mutual consent.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
INR 28,496,523 inclusive of all taxes. It is guidance for EMD and eligibility and is not a pricing benchmark.
INR 600,000 in favour of DDO, DST, New Delhi. Accepted GTC forms are insurance surety bond, account-payee DD, FDR, banker's cheque, bank guarantee/e-BG, or acceptable online payment; the bid also expressly accepts surety bond and DD. It must remain valid 45 days beyond the 120-day bid validity. Eligible exempt bidders must upload supporting proof.
No tender/bid participation fee is stated; the GeM disclaimer says any buyer-added clause asking for one would make the bid/contract null and void.
5.00% of contract value, required for 26 months. Accepted forms include insurance surety bond, account-payee DD, FDR, bank guarantee/e-BG or acceptable online payment. Submit within 15 days of award; payments become due only after receipt and genuineness verification. Extend it if obligations are extended; no interest is payable.
The provider must fund monthly wages first and pay by the 7th of the succeeding month, while DST reimburses bi-monthly. Claims require wage/bank proof and statutory documents. Under GTC, 100% of service bills is payable within 10 days of SDAC and online bill submission unless the ATC changes the cadence.
Quote on an all-inclusive basis. Bonus for eligible staff is entirely the provider's cost and cannot be separately reimbursed; statutory wage rates must be met regardless of DST bill timing.
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 have its registered office in India for the last three financial years as at 31 March 2026 and be an Indian company, LLP, or registered partnership. No separate consortium/JV qualification route is stated.
A registered, commercial and functioning office in Delhi is mandatory and may be physically inspected by DST.
Valid PAN, TAN, GST, EPF, ESIC, Labour Licence and Professional Tax registration are mandatory.
Police verification/character certificate issued by DM/Police, not older than 6 months, is required for the proprietor and every director/partner.
Minimum average annual turnover related specifically to manpower supply: Rs. 7 crore or more over FY 2023-24, 2024-25 and 2025-26. MSE/start-up relaxation is expressly No.
For each stated FY 2023-24, 2024-25 and 2025-26, complete either 3 government-body assignments of at least Rs. 1 crore and 15 manpower each, or 2 of at least Rs. 1.4 crore and 20 manpower each, or 1 of at least Rs. 2.2 crore and 30 manpower. Housekeeping labour, security guards and construction labour are not similar services. No MSE/start-up relaxation applies.
GST challans, GSTR-3B and GSTR-1 are required for FY 2023-24, 2024-25 and 2025-26.
Bidder must not be debarred, blacklisted or suspended and must have no service-related dispute with any Government/Semi-Government organisation. GeM participation also constitutes an undertaking that the seller is not debarred under GFR Rule 151.
Verifiable ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certificates from NABL/QCI/IAF-accredited bodies are mandatory.
Bidder must freshly undertake adequate liquidity for monthly payroll despite bi-monthly reimbursement, no employee fees/deductions, ethical conduct, and wage payment by the 7th with acceptance of the stated penalties.
A bidder from a country sharing a land border with India, and any bidder with a specified ToT arrangement with such an entity, is eligible only with valid Competent Authority registration. False declaration/non-compliance can trigger termination, debarment and legal action.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Outsource 40 Office Assistants under the Multi-Tasking Staff profile for DST. Essential qualification is Matriculate; 25 wpm English/Hindi computer typing is desirable; prior work experience is Nil/0-3 years.
Deploy at Technology Bhawan, New Mehrauli Road, New Delhi 110016 for 24 months / 2 years. The provider must maintain an office in Delhi.
Record maintenance; office cleanliness/upkeep; carrying files; photocopying/scanning; non-clerical and routine diary/despatch work including computer work; outside dak delivery; watch-and-ward; opening/closing and cleaning rooms; dusting; and other assigned work.
The duty list is illustrative, not exhaustive; the buyer may add similar duties ordinarily performed at this staff level.
Personnel require DST approval. Unsatisfactory personnel must be promptly replaced at no extra cost; substitutions are required for leave/absence when DST requires them, and unauthorised absence is unpaid.
At contract issue, the buyer may increase or decrease quantity or duration by up to 50%; after issue it may only increase them by up to 50%, which bidders must accept. The ATC separately allows a further one-year extension after the two-year term for satisfactory service and approvals.
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 through GeM as a Two Packet Bid: technical/eligibility uploads and a separate price-indicating financial document with breakup. Missing any certificate/document sought in the bid or ATC makes the offer liable to rejection.
Annexure A1 must be filled, signed and stamped; A2 and A3 are on Rs.100 stamp paper and signed with company seal. A2 must also be notarised and freshly executed after publication; A3 must be fresh after publication and before bid end. No separate DSC class is specified; GeM Aadhaar e-sign is treated at par with a digital signature.
For DD-form EMD, upload the scan with the bid and deliver the original to the Buyer. The bid-specific clause says within 5 days of Bid End date / Bid Opening date, while GTC says within 5 working days of bid opening. The exact physical receiving address is not printed. Successful bidder's DD-form performance security original is due within 15 days of award.
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.
The bid's standard criterion uses 3/2/1 completed services at 40%/50%/80% of the INR 28,496,523 estimate and permits Central/State Government/PSU experience. ATC instead demands the stated fixed values plus manpower counts in each FY and says Government Bodies. The bid disclaimer also says seeking experience from a specific organisation/department/institute is impermissible. The ATC is more tender-specific, but the disclaimer says contravening ATC clauses are invalid; obtain a portal clarification before relying on either test.
The bid states GeM will validate turnover and that no separate evidence is required; mandatory ATC item 6 requires a CA certificate and audited balance sheets. Because the bid also says certificates requested in ATC must be uploaded, the prudent submission is both GeM-verified data and the ATC documents, while seeking confirmation.
The bid requires copies of relevant contracts/orders for each FY; ATC requires attested completion certificates with buyer contact details. These are not substitutes on their face. Submit both sets.
Bid-specific clause says deliver the DD hard copy within 5 days of Bid End date / Bid Opening date, without choosing the trigger or saying working days. GTC says within 5 working days of bid opening. The bid-specific text is ambiguous, so use the earliest possible date and obtain written confirmation.
ATC says the Authority may cancel after notice of '(one week to 3 months) 30 days'. It does not unambiguously establish whether notice is one week, 30 days, or up to three months. No reliable prevailing duration can be identified without clarification.
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 qualification follows the bid's 40%/50%/80% test or ATC's fixed value-plus-manpower test in every FY; also confirm whether PSU/private experience qualifies given the ATC wording 'Govt Bodies' and the GeM prohibition on organisation-specific experience.
Will GeM-verified turnover alone be accepted, or are the CA certificate and audited balance sheets mandatory despite the bid's express 'no separate documentary evidence' statement?
State the exact deadline, whether days are working/calendar, the trigger (bid end or opening), named recipient and full postal/hand-delivery address for the physical EMD original.
Confirm whether increases in minimum wages, EPF/ESI/EDLI/admin charges and applicable bonus during the 24-month/extended term will be reimbursed through price revision or must be absorbed by the provider; the displayed base pay is INR 22,411 and bonus is shown as zero, while ATC makes statutory wages and bonus the provider's responsibility.
Issue a clean amendment confirming the notice period intended by '(one week to 3 months) 30 days' and whether cure and termination notices are separate.
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.
Provider must finance payroll monthly by the 7th while DST reimburses bi-monthly and only against documentary compliance. Payment also does not become due until performance security is received and verified.
Late salary attracts Rs.500 per day per manpower after the 7th through the 10th and Rs.750 per day per manpower thereafter. Partial salary/statutory deduction non-compliance is Rs.2,000 per case; statutory-obligation failure is Rs.1,000 per case. No aggregate cap is stated in ATC.
Applicable bonus is included in the bid rate with no separate reimbursement; failure brings Rs.10,000 penalty plus recovery of unpaid bonus. Minimum-wage changes apply from time to time regardless of bill timing, with no express wage-price adjustment mechanism.
DST may recover unpaid wages, statutory dues, bonus, compensation and property loss from bills or performance security. Provider bears accident/injury/death liabilities and indemnifies DST for breach-related claims and expenses.
The duty list is expressly non-exhaustive; DST can add similar duties, demand replacement, require absence substitutes at no cost, and make no payment for unauthorised absence. Cleaning and watch-and-ward duties increase operational and classification risk.
Bidder is bound to accept up to 50% quantity/duration adjustment at contract issue and increases after issue. The two-year term may extend one year, while DST may curtail for requirement changes.
The Authority can terminate for 15 continuous/intermittent deficient-service days, substantial deviation, or breach; the general notice wording is ambiguous. ATC sends disputes to Joint Secretary, DST whose decision is binding, while the bid says arbitration and mediation are No.
In addition to SLA/ATC penalties, GTC permits LD at 0.5% of delayed contract value per week or part, capped ordinarily at 5% of total contract value and at 10% for inordinate delay (over 25% of completion period).
EMD may be forfeited for bid withdrawal/modification, false/forged documents, or failure to furnish performance security. Performance security may be forfeited wholly or partly for non-performance; GeM may also debar.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
Department of Science and Technology (DST), Department of Science and Technology Secretariat, Ministry of Science and Technology; office shown as New Delhi.
Buyer email: [email protected]. HOD grievance-redressal email: [email protected]. No phone numbers are printed for these contacts.
Atin Singh Yadav, Technology Bhawan, New Mehrauli Road, New Delhi 110016. No designation, phone or email is printed for the consignee.
EMD/performance-security DD originals are addressed to the Buyer / DDO, DST, payable at New Delhi, but the tender does not print a complete delivery address or named receiving officer. Technology Bhawan is the consignee site and is not expressly identified as the physical security receiving address.
