Must not be blacklisted/debarred or involved in major litigations with Central/State Govt, autonomous bodies, CPSU/SPSU. Multiple bids under GeM GTC clauses 2(n) & 29 lead to rejection and Bid Security forfeiture. Land-border bidders need Competent Authority registration (GeM GTC cl.26).
GeM Bid flags MSE and Startup complete relaxation from Years of Experience and Turnover, subject to quality/technical specifications and upload of supporting exemption documents. ATC still sets mandatory PQC including experience, turnover, running 150-manpower contract and solvency — treat GeM exemption vs ATC PQC as a material conflict to clarify.

Bidder must have portal/website/mobile app enabling employees to view salary slips, and also provide printed copies.

Two-packet e-bid only on GeM portal https://gem.gov.in/. Technical bid (PDF uploads) + financial bid online. No hard copy of tender/bid documents for submission. Disclosure of financial rates in technical bid leads to rejection.

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 document set contains no corrigendum or addendum amending dates, amounts or conditions. GeM Bid dated 12-09-2026 and ATC NIT stand as issued. ATC notes that any future change/corrigendum will be issued only on GeM.
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 grants complete MSE and Startup relaxation from Experience Criteria and Bidder Turnover, while ATC states bidders must fulfil mandatory PQC (5 years, work-value thresholds, Rs 38 Cr average turnover, running 150-person contract, solvency) to be eligible for technical evaluation.
GeM specification says geographical presence of Service Provider's office in consignee's State is not required / Not Applicable, but ATC PQC requires Head/Local/Branch office in Bihar or Annexure-VIII undertaking to open at Gaya/Bodh Gaya within 30 days of award.
GeM Bid lists Contract Period as 2 Year(s) 1 Day(s). ATC states initial two years from award, further extendable by another two years on annual basis at Institute discretion subject to satisfactory performance.
ATC says no hard copy of any tender document needs to be submitted, while GeM Bid requires delivery of EMD DD hardcopy within 5 days of Bid End/Opening (and PBG DD within 15 days of award).
Internal financial implication sheet (1789132368 Annexure-II) shows lower category rates (Highly Skilled 893, Skilled 760, Semi Skilled 632, Un Skilled 541) whereas the live GeM Bid consignee sheets specify higher minimum daily wages (918 / 781 / 650 / 556) exclusive of GST.
ATC requires 3% performance security deposited in given bank detail; GeM specifies ePBG 3% for 26 months and also allows DD/online in lieu of PBG. Forms differ but percentage aligns at 3%.
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 whether MSE/DPIIT Startup bidders are fully exempt from ATC mandatory experience (5 yrs / WO values / running 150 manpower) and Rs 38 Cr turnover/solvency, or only from GeM portal criteria while ATC Annexure-B still applies.
Confirm whether Annexure-VIII / Bihar office proofs remain mandatory for technical qualification given GeM item parameter says presence in consignee State is not required.
Seek confirmation that GeM consignee breakups (918/781/650/556 plus listed PF/ESI/Bonus/EDLI/admin) and floor Core 3.85 are the sole pricing basis, and how future VDA/minimum-wage revisions and gratuity will be reimbursed.
Clarify whether financial opening is pure L1 among all who score ≥60, or whether presentation marks affect commercial ranking / QCBS, and how MSE L1+15% preference interacts with the technical gate.
GeM profiles repeatedly say Educational Qualification/Experience/Specialization 'As per Bid document', but ATC requirements table lists designations without published degree/ITI/experience matrices — request the missing qualification matrix before mobilisation pricing and sourcing risk is locked.
ATC requires Institute skill test/interview of agency-nominated candidates and right to change undesirable personnel — clarify replacement timelines, non-payment for rejected candidates, and whether failed deployment triggers LD/penalties.
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.
Agency must pay full wages/statutory dues before claiming; buyer pays within 30 working days only on complete documentation; deficient bills held while wage deadline (7th) still binds — significant working-capital risk on ~164 staff.
EMD Rs 19 lakh (180-day validity) plus 3% performance security for 26 months (~Rs 29.2 lakh on estimated value) with forfeiture/blacklisting on breach or short notice termination.
Machines list, uniforms (incl. winter/rain), IDs, safety gear, accident insurance Rs 5 lakh/worker, stationery and local office costs must be absorbed in service charge above 3.85 floor — margin compression risk.
Buyer may vary manpower with 7 days' notice; GeM Option Clause allows ±50% quantity/duration; quantities are indicative — revenue and staffing uncertainty.
Full indemnity for worker acts, litigation, accidents; Institute not employer; statutory non-deposit attracts buyer-decided penalty; false documents forfeit EMD; confidentiality breach attracts punitive damages as decided by Director's authorities. Courts at Gaya only. GeM LD 0.5%/week up to 5% (10% if inordinate delay).
Police verification, health/fitness, skill test/interview by Institute, age 18–60, female staff where required, 2–3 day unpaid familiarization, and express bar on regularization claims create mobilisation and attrition risk.
Buyer may terminate for unsatisfactory service on 3 months' notice; insolvency/sub-letting without notice; agency exit needs 3 months' notice else security forfeited proportionally. Contract ends without notice on expiry.
Published 12-09-2026 with bid end 22-09-2026 (~10 days) plus mandatory VC presentation carrying 50/100 technical marks (overall cutoff 60) raises preparation and disqualification risk.
Final month billing released only after No Dues Certificates from all deployed personnel — holdback/exit risk if workers dispute dues.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
