No tender fee or bid participation fee is specified in the bid details; GeM disclaimer treats asking for tender/bid participation fee in ATC as making bid/contract null & void.

Buyer has fixed minimum daily wages exclusive of GST and statutory add-ons per resource category; overtime hours and optional allowances are 0; working days/month = 30; tenure = 12 months.

Service Provider Head Office must be registered within Chandigarh, Panchkula or SAS Nagar (Tri-city); otherwise bid is straightaway rejected.
Bidder must not be blacklisted/prosecuted by Centre/State/UT/statutory/autonomous/research institutions/any court; must not be under liquidation, court receivership or similar proceedings / bankrupt.
Self-attested GST, PAN, EPF, ESI and bidder registration certificate required; CA-certified no default in ESI, EPF and GST deposits in last three years; net worth certificate attested by CA (no balance sheet accepted in lieu).
MSE Purchase Preference: No. MSE and Startup relaxations for experience and turnover: No. MII Compliance: Yes. Bid splitting not applied.
Any bidder from a country sharing a land border with India is eligible only if registered with the Competent Authority (GeM GTC clause 26); false declaration is ground for immediate termination and legal action.
If 20 or more service persons are engaged on any given day, engagement requires licence under the Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act, 1970 from the Appropriate Authority.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Manpower Outsourcing Services (Minimum wage) for Government College of Education, Sector-20 D, Chandigarh across Admin, Others and Healthcare functions—total 33 resources for 12 months.
Buyer scope note defines duties for each post (hostel nurse medical care; librarian library ops; steno-typist dictation/typing; library restorer upkeep; lab attendant lab cleanliness; aya hostel assistance; peon office dak/dusting/photostat; sweeper cleaning; mali/beldar grounds; chowkidar campus security).
All resources are for consignee/reporting officer Diwan at Govt. College of Education, Sector-20 D, Chandigarh, PIN 160020. Service provider office geographical presence required in Chandigarh State/UT.
Initial deployment tenure 12 months / contract period 1 year on bid header, extendable under ATC to max 2 years. Buyer Option Clause allows +/-25% quantity or duration at award (increase only after issue, up to 25%). Existing outsourced manpower is to continue with the new service provider and not be replaced without Head of Institute consent.
Seller/Service Provider must fully comply with applicable labour laws and the four Labour Codes (as notified/enforced) and erstwhile labour enactments until substituted; non-compliance is breach of contract.
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.
Online bid on GeM as Two Packet Bid under Bid Number GEM/2026/B/7977805; financial document indicating price breakup is required; Bid to RA not enabled; evaluation is total value wise.
Upload scanned EMD (or valid exemption documents) with the online bid; hard copy of EMD must be submitted directly to the Buyer within 5 working days of bid opening.
Registration docs to be self-attested; blacklisting affidavit on non-judicial stamp paper attested by Executive Magistrate/Notary; turnover/no-default/net-worth certificates by CA; ATC acceptance on letter head; GeM uses Aadhaar e-sign at par with digital signatures for portal actions.
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.
Tender pack contains no corrigendum or addendum document, and no amended values superseding the original GeM bid dated 10-09-2026.
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.
Bid details state Contract Period 1 Year(s) and resource tenure 12 months, while ATC says maximum 02 years (initial 01 year, extendable by one year). Bidders should price/plan on initial 1-year award with possible 1-year extension, and note estimated value is presented as a single INR 1,36,32,647 figure.
ATC Technical bid checklist says experience certificate only and 'no work order will be accepted,' but the same ATC and standard bid eligibility require uploading relevant contracts/award orders for each of last 3 FYs.
ATC cl.7 requires blacklisting affidavit not more than one month prior to floating date; ATC cl.23 says 'The Affidavit should be on or after bid date.'
Standard bid eligibility cites Central/State Govt Organization/PSU, while ATC experience clause also allows Public Listed Company.
Bid ePBG duration field is 14 months; ATC states validity of 60 days beyond termination—arithmetically aligned for a 12-month contract, but if ATC 2-year extension operates, 14-month ePBG would need extension under GTC.
Buyer retention list totals 33 persons matching total bid quantity 33, but sub-counts differ slightly (e.g., existing Peon 4 & Sweeper 5 vs bid Peon/MTS 5 & Sweeper 4).
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.
Ask buyer to confirm the base year value used for EMD (2%), turnover (415 Lakh), and 40%/50%/80% past-performance thresholds, given ATC's 'entire 02 years' wording versus 12-month resource tenure.
Seek written clarification whether authority experience certificates only are mandatory (no work orders) or whether contracts/award orders required by eligibility must also be uploaded—and whether both are needed.
Confirm that both (i) utility/authority address document and (ii) registered ownership/rent agreement with Sub Registrar UT Chandigarh are mandatory together, and whether Mohali/Panchkula registered rent deeds (not only UT Chandigarh Sub Registrar) are acceptable.
Confirm that all named existing resources must be taken over at the buyer-fixed minimum wages/statutory components, whether any resource can be changed before takeover, and how vacancies/absentee replacement pricing works under Option Clause +/-25%.
Ask whether any minimum positive net-worth amount applies, and what exactly must be quoted in the financial packet/price breakup (service charge only vs any other components) given fixed wages and 'Nil Charges' non-responsive rule.
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.
From 10-09-2026 publication to 21-09-2026 11:00 end date leaves limited time to assemble tri-city registered-office proofs, CA certificates (incl. FY 2025-26), notarised affidavit and EMD—while MSE/Startup experience-turnover relaxations are disabled.
Head office outside Chandigarh/Panchkula/SAS Nagar is straight rejected; unregistered rent agreement alone is invalid.
Successful bidder must continue existing outsourced staff and cannot replace them without Head of Institute consent—limits staffing flexibility and onboarding choices.
Wages must be paid by the 7th before reimbursement billing; short/non-payment is recoverable within 7 days from payables/security/EMD, with cancellation/blacklisting risk; dues recoverable as arrears of land revenue; re-allotment may be at original allottee's risk and cost.
One written notice with 5 working days to cure unsatisfactory service or term violations, then immediate termination without further notice/compensation and blacklisting under UT Chandigarh Blacklisting Policy 2009; multiple other clauses also trigger blacklisting.
Buyer may vary quantity/duration by up to 25% (Option Clause); ePBG 5% must be furnished within 15 days of award before payments, and extended if contract extended—capital lock-up risk on about 5% of contract value.
Full labour-code/minimum-wage/EPF/ESI/GST compliance rests on service provider with indemnity to department; taking any deposit/security from deployed resources is prohibited and can trigger GeM incident action plus Chandigarh blacklisting.
EMD can be forfeited for withdrawal/modification during validity, false documents, or failure to furnish performance security; nil charges/consideration bids are non-responsive.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
