Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.

GeM ePBG: 5.00% for 14 Months; Advisory Bank State Bank of India; in favour of Beneficiary DIRECTOR, DRDL, Kanchanbagh, Hyderabad 500058. ATC sets Performance Security Bond as 5% of Order value or Monthly Payment (whichever is lower), inclusive of Taxes. RFP Appendix GTC para 53 states PSB equal to 5% of order value including tax, valid for total contract period + 60 days (see contradictions with Part-III 3-5%).
Vendor must not quote less than 3.85% service charge; quotes below 3.85% are disqualified. Quoted profit % is fixed for the contract period even if Govt wages increase; amount includes insurance premium for comprehensive accidental insurance.
Monthly payments; no advance. Billing every month against Job Completion Certificate. Wage disbursement to personnel on or before 7th of every calendar month. Bills for payment claim within 15 days of activity completion. ATC says payment/wage elements follow RFP Part-V / GTC.

Firms must be registered with any DRDO Lab / Govt. Organization / PSU. Geographical presence of Service Provider registered office required in Telangana. RFP adds functional service centre in consignee state; if not at bidding, establish within 30 days of award (payment only after proof). ESI registration or local sub-code compulsory if order is placed.
Bidders from countries sharing land border with India eligible only if registered with Competent Authority (GeM GTC clause 26). Debarred/blacklisted firms' bids not considered. False ATC/docs lead to rejection/debarment. Tender Acceptance Letter requires non-blacklisting declaration.
Nine resources under GeM categories at Hyderabad: 1 DEO (Graduate, Economics, 15 Years+); 1 MTS (ITI, Science, 3 to 7 Years); 7 Office Helpers (High School) split by experience bands 15 Years+ (3), 3 to 7 Years (1), 0 to 3 Years (3). RFP Scope/Tables map same headcount as Wet Canteen: Skilled 1, Semiskilled 1, Unskilled 7. Age 18-58; police verification; DRDL selects/scrutinises candidates.
No consortium/JV rules are specified. Bid splitting not applied. Sub-contracting of performance without prior DRDL consent is prohibited.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
GeM category: Manpower Outsourcing Services - Fixed Remuneration for Admin profiles DEO / Multi-tasking Staff / Office Helper. Buyer-attached Scope of Work is titled PROVISION OF MANPOWER OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF WET CANTEEN ACTIVITIES at Wet Canteen, DRDL Kanchanbagh (RFP 27GMT065) — headcount aligns at 9 persons.
On all DRDL working days: distribute Breakfast & Tea at 0900 hrs at 18 work centres (main gate to DG MSS office outside rear gate); lunch at 1230 hrs at LPD Counter; snacks & tea at 1500 hrs at work centres; OT snacks for OT-duty staff; maintain clean/hygiene at food points; use DRDL vehicles for food transport; skilled staff also handle billing counter/cash/coupons; semiskilled may act as Assistant Cook/Cook as required.
Total 9 resources at Hyderabad / Wet Canteen DOMS DRDL Kanchanbagh. GeM contract 1 year / 12-month tenure per resource; Scope SOW also says three years while GTC/Part-V say one year extendable. Additional manpower up to 2% of total strength on written Director request.
Pay not less than Government minimum wages; full labour-code / EPF / ESI / Bonus / safety compliance; GeM labour-code compliance clause applies. Safety shoes (ISI) and two pairs clothes within one month of SO if required. No electronic devices per DRDL banned list on premises.
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.
This opportunity is published as a GeM Single Packet Bid (GEM/2026/B/7980475). The attached RFP still instructs online submission on https://defproc.gov.in under Single/Two Bid procedure and rejects Post/FAX/email bids — treat GeM as the live submission channel for this listing and seek written clarification on defproc dual-upload (see contradictions).
RFP: Cover-1 techno-commercial + Cover-2 price bid; keep price bid out of technical upload (ATC). Physical envelope to Director DRDL only for originals of tender fee/EMD/Integrity Pact/brochures if applicable — EMD is Not Applicable here. Tender Box at DRDL Security Gate.
Tender Acceptance Letter on company letterhead with bidder signature and official seal. Many Cover-1 docs must be signed and scanned. Bids under firm letter pad with GSTIN, bank/NEFT, postal and email address.
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 tender document set contains only the GeM bid (bid_9828814.pdf), buyer-attached RFP/SOW (1789476544.pdf), and GeM GTC (gtc.pdf). No corrigendum or addendum file is present, and no amendment chain is printed in these documents.
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.
GeM bid is Single Packet on GeM; attached RFP mandates defproc.gov.in and Cover-1/Cover-2 two-bid style instructions. Live GeM listing governs electronic submission for GEM/2026/B/7980475, but ATC still orders bidders to follow RFP technical/price submission instructions — high disqualification risk until buyer clarifies.
GeM items are DEO/MTS/Office Helper fixed-remuneration outsourcing; buyer SOW/Part-V describe Wet Canteen operation & maintenance manpower (skilled/semiskilled/unskilled). Headcount both total 9 at DRDL Hyderabad, so they appear intended as the same job mapped onto GeM categories, but titles/duties differ and need confirmation.
GeM Contract Period 1 Year and resource tenure 12 months; RFP Part-V delivery 1 Year; GTC para 52 One year extendable — but Scope of Work para 9 says Three (3) years. Prefer GeM + GTC/Part-V one-year frame unless buyer amends SOW.
GeM ePBG 5% for 14 months; ATC: 5% of Order value or Monthly Payment whichever lower incl. taxes; GTC 53: 5% of order value incl. tax for contract period+60 days; Part III: 3 to 5% of contract value. Amount basis is not unique — seek clarification before quoting/cash-flow planning.
GeM: 180 days from Bid End Date; RFP: 180 days from date of opening of Bids.
GeM estimates 41 overtime hours per resource per month; RFP Table-3 and GTC wage formula cap extra time at 25 hours per calendar month (and 3 hours/day).
RFP Part-IV header page states Firm/Supplier Qualification Criteria 'Not Applicable', yet a later Part-IV Vendor Qualification Criteria page and GeM ATC impose turnover, registration, branch office, ESI and 3.85% service-charge rules.
GeM MSE preference band is L1+15% for 100% quantity; RFP Part-III MII margin of purchase preference is 20%. Different schemes — both referenced.
GTC para 27 states sum assured 'Rs. 10.0 Lakhs (Rupees Five Lakhs only)' — internal 10 lakh vs 5 lakh conflict.
GeM additional requirements show ESI (INR Monthly): 0 for all lines, yet GTC requires ESI 3.25% of Basic if Basic <=21000 else insurance @Rs.1000, and ESI registration on order placement.
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 whether bids are only on GeM Single Packet, or also on defproc Cover-1/Cover-2, and how to satisfy ATC clause 8-9 without dual-portal conflict.
Seek written confirmation that Wet Canteen SOW is the governing scope and how GeM DEO/MTS/Office Helper lines map to Skilled/Semiskilled/Unskilled roles, education and 15+ year experience bands.
Request corrigendum aligning Scope SOW 'Three (3) years' with GeM 1 Year / GTC one-year extendable terms.
Clarify whether ePBG/PSB is 5% of full order value, 5% of monthly payment (lower of the two per ATC), or within Part-III 3-5%, and exact validity (14 months vs contract+60 days).
Ask which OT ceiling applies (GeM 41 hrs vs RFP/GTC 25 hrs), whether GeM ESI=0 overrides GTC ESI formula, and request the actual Part-VII minimum-wage price-bid table referenced but not printed.
Confirm acceptable registration proof and whether firms without prior DRDO/Govt/PSU registration are barred at bid stage.
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.
Published 15-09-2026 with bid end 22-09-2026 (~7 days). Marked Short Duration Bid for emergency procurement — limited time for registrations, declarations, price breakup and GeM uploads.
Quotes below 3.85% service charge are disqualified. Profit/service-charge % stays fixed even when statutory wages rise — margin compression risk on wage inflation, insurance and compliance costs.
Rs.710 per day per person penalty if wages not paid by 7th, even if vendor bills/PCDA payment delayed. Vendor must fund payroll and statutory dues upfront; monthly billing with heavy documentary proof.
LD 0.5%/week of delayed stores cost, capped at 10% order value. PSB delay LD 0.5%/week of BG; >60 days may cancel order and debar up to 2 years. Statutory non-compliance recoverable from bills/PSB. Fake documents / charging candidates lead to rejection, termination, DRDL/DRDO debarment.
DRDL solely selects/scrutinises candidates and may reject without assigning reasons; replacements need re-approval within tight timelines; vendor remains sole employer for all labour liabilities and indemnities.
Strict ban on mobiles and electronic devices inside DRDL; frisking; wet-canteen skilled role handles cash/coupons — theft/loss indemnity on vendor. Defence site access and police verification are operational critical path.
Multiple unresolved conflicts (portal, duration, PSB, OT, ESI, Part-IV N/A vs applicable) create bid-rejection and post-award dispute risk if bidder follows one document and buyer enforces another.
GeM bid lists Arbitration Clause: No and Mediation Clause: No, while RFP Part II still contains arbitration options — dispute-resolution path is unclear/adverse for seller.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
