90 days from the bid end date.
No pre-bid meeting or pre-bid query deadline is specified. During technical evaluation, the buyer allows 2 days for technical clarifications.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
The tender does not state a numeric estimated bid value; the ATC field is shown as '-'. Eligibility thresholds imply no safely reportable tender value and must not be used as the contract value.
INR 1,27,200. Non-exempt bidders may use an account-payee DD, FDR, or surety bond in favour of the Chief Officer; upload proof with the bid and deliver the original within 5 days of bid end/opening. Bid security must remain valid 45 days beyond the 90-day bid validity.
No tender/participation fee finally applies on GeM. Although the ATC asks for a non-refundable INR 1,000 DD, the bid disclaimer expressly makes any tender-fee clause impermissible/null.
The bid's ePBG field says 'Required: No'; therefore no ePBG/performance security applies. Conflicting ATC demands (INR 1,00,000 and, separately, 2.5% deposit + 2.5% bill retention + 5% bank guarantee) are invalid because buyer-added clauses cannot contradict the ePBG detail.
Quote online inclusive of all taxes; Schedule B asks bidders to quote only the service-charge percentage over statutory minimum wage and applicable taxes. Services are billed monthly after branch certification/SDAC; the GeM GTC provides 100% payment within 10 days of SDAC and online bill submission. Statutory deductions stated by the ATC are 2% income tax, 1% CGST and 1% SGST.
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.
Minimum average annual turnover: INR 13 lakh over the last 3 financial years ending 31 March of the previous financial year, supported by certified audited balance sheets or a CA/Cost Accountant certificate. The bid expressly gives no MSE or Startup relaxation for turnover.
At least 3 years' similar-service experience to a Central/State Government organisation or PSU, evidenced by contracts/orders for each financial year. In addition, within the 7 years ending on the last day of the bid month, completed manpower-supply works must satisfy one option: 3 works of at least INR 17 lakh each, 2 works of at least INR 21 lakh each, or 1 work of at least INR 32 lakh.
Bidder must hold PAN, GST, EPF and ESI registrations and an agency/contractor registration recognised by a government, semi-government, municipal corporation, board, corporation or public institution.
The service provider must have an office presence in Gujarat. Before bidding, the agency must survey Dhrangdhra Nagarpalika's operations and provide a letterhead certificate confirming familiarity with local site conditions.
Deployed personnel must meet the role-wise education/licence/experience matrix, including HMV licence plus one year for HMV/JCB driver, recognised ITI or relevant experience for fitter/pumpman, prescribed engineering degree/diploma for supervisors/engineers/electrician, and graduate/computer qualification plus one year for clerk-cum-computer operator. Driver licences must be government-recognised.
No consortium/JV bid structure or member/equity rule is stated. The ATC only says Form-3A for work completed in a joint venture is acceptable. Subcontracting the awarded work is prohibited and causes automatic cancellation.
By bidding, the seller undertakes that it is not debarred under Rule 151 of GFR 2017. A bidder from a country sharing a land border with India is eligible only if registered with the Competent Authority; false declaration/non-compliance permits immediate termination 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.
Supply outsourced skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled manpower for day-to-day work in Dhrangdhra Nagarpalika's office and various branches.
The GeM schedule contains 18 manpower lines, each showing 1 resource: clerk-cum-computer operator, water-works supervisor, clerk-cum-typist, mechanic, civil engineer, HMV/JCB driver, fireman, electrician, fitter, mukadam/supervisor, wireman/helper, bore operator, labour, watchman-cum-peon, cleaner, valveman, drainage-cleaning labour and sweeper. The ATC additionally says actual personnel and counts will be as stated in the work order.
Reporting/consignee location: Nagar Seva Sadan, Opp. Post Office, Dhrangadhra, District Surendranagar, Gujarat 363310.
Contract period is 1 year from commencement. Contractor must comply with minimum-wage, EPF, child-labour and all applicable labour laws; current wage support includes the Gujarat special allowance of INR 60.50/day for the listed occupations from 01 Apr 2026 to 30 Sep 2026.
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 the bid on the GeM portal as a Two Packet Bid; upload qualification evidence with the technical bid and quote the price/service-charge percentage online in the financial packet. Bid evaluation is total-value-wise.
ATC supporting copies must be self-certified/true copies. GeM e-sign is legally at par with digital signature; the participating seller user must be authorised to contract for the seller.
Only the original EMD instrument is a valid physical-bid requirement: upload its scan and deliver the original to the buyer within 5 days of bid end/opening. ATC clauses making other physical documents a qualification prerequisite, requiring arrival before bid close, or allowing 7 days after close are invalid/conflicting under the GeM disclaimer. The ATC nevertheless instructs postal covers to be sent by RPAD/Speed Post (not by hand), marked with tender ID, bidder name, address and mobile number; bidder should obtain written clarification before relying on this.
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.
ATC: non-refundable INR 1,000 DD. GeM bid disclaimer: asking any tender/bid-participation fee is impermissible. The GeM bid disclaimer prevails; no tender fee finally applies.
Bid detail says ePBG not required. ATC variously demands INR 1,00,000 security, and 2.5% upfront + 2.5% bill deduction + 5% BG. The bid disclaimer invalidates buyer-added terms contradicting ePBG detail; 'Required: No' prevails.
ATC says all documents must arrive before online bid close, elsewhere permits tender documents and EMD within 7 days after close, and requires RPAD/Speed Post. The GeM bid says only EMD original within 5 days of bid end/opening and prohibits physical-document submission as a qualification prerequisite. Final position: submit bid documents online; deliver only the original EMD instrument within the 5-day bid-specific window.
ATC clause 22 grants Startup/MSME exemption from turnover, experience and EMD. Bid detail expressly sets MSE and Startup experience/turnover relaxation to 'No', while separately retaining GTC EMD exemptions. Final: no turnover/experience relaxation; eligible bidders may still claim EMD exemption with proof.
The tender form states financial year 2026-27, while the bid detail and later ATC clause state 1 year/12 months from work commencement. The specific operative duration of 1 year from commencement applies, but bidders should confirm whether the buyer intends an earlier financial-year cut-off.
The GeM schedule shows one resource against each of 18 profiles, but the ATC says profiles and counts will be those stated later in the work order and allows the municipality to request additional/different posts. The online bid quantities are the only priced baseline; the buyer should clarify whether all 18 are firm or merely indicative.
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 in writing that only the original EMD instrument is to be sent physically within 5 days and that all other qualification documents are online-only, because the ATC gives mutually inconsistent pre-close and 7-day post-close deadlines that conflict with the GeM disclaimer.
Please issue a clarification that the INR 1,000 tender fee and all ATC security/BG deductions are inapplicable because the GeM disclaimer bans tender fees and the bid's ePBG field is 'No'. This materially affects compliance and cash flow.
Please confirm whether the requirement is exactly one resource for each of the 18 GeM lines for the full year, and define limits/rates for any additional or different posts requested through the work order. The current open-ended ATC wording prevents reliable staffing and pricing.
Please confirm that monthly service bills will be paid within the GeM 10-day SDAC timeline and clarify interest/remedy for delay; the ATC requires the agency to carry up to 90 days of payroll without allowing service delay.
Please resolve whether the contract runs 12 months from commencement or only through financial year 2026-27, because mobilisation after July 2026 makes these materially different periods.
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.
Although GeM provides payment within 10 days after SDAC and online billing, the ATC anticipates buyer delay and requires the contractor to fund 90 days of wages without slowing service. This creates substantial payroll/EPF/ESI working-capital exposure.
The municipality may terminate at any time in special circumstances without giving reasons; it also reserves broad power to accept/reject offers and treats the President/Chief Officer's decision as final for work disputes. Court jurisdiction is Dhrangdhra.
The buyer may request different posts and may relax personnel qualifications; if work is not completed in time, the contractor must continue during the additional period without extra charge. This creates unpriced deployment and duration risk.
All minimum-wage, EPF, ESI and labour-law obligations remain with the contractor; workers are not municipal employees. Any damage/breakage during work must be made good at the agency's own cost, and labour non-compliance is a contract breach.
EMD may be forfeited for bid withdrawal/modification during validity, false/misleading/forged documents, or failure to furnish security where required; GeM may also debar the seller for at least 3 months on the first such offence.
Rates/approved service charges are fixed for one year and offers must include applicable taxes, while statutory minimum wages and allowances can change. Schedule B indicates only the service-charge percentage is quoted, but the tender does not expressly explain adjustment mechanics after the cited special allowance expires on 30 Sep 2026.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
