Latest GeM bid values: submission closes 07.08.2026 at 19:00:00 and bids open 07.08.2026 at 19:30:00.
180 days from the bid end date.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
Estimated bid/work value is INR 3,15,66,615 inclusive of PF, ESI, bonus, statutory compliances and GST @18%.
INR 6,31,333, payable offline by Demand Draft, Banker's cheque, Insurance Surety Bond or Bank Guarantee from a nationalized/scheduled bank (not cooperative/Gramin), subject to GeM exemption categories.
No tender document/bid participation fee is specified; GeM states that an ATC asking for one would make the bid/resultant contract null and void.
GeM marks ePBG as not required. GCC Clause 1 applies a 5% performance guarantee only at estimated value INR 5 crore and above, so it does not apply to this INR 3.1567 crore tender; instead, security deposit is 10% of contract value, recovered at 10% of gross running bills with EMD adjusted.
Bills are monthly. The bid-specific term and SCC require payment within 15 days after acceptance/online billing; worker wages must be paid by the 7th of the succeeding month, with INR 50 per employee per day penalty for delay.
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 be a specialized similar-work agency registered with the Registrar of Companies/Firms or Central/State Government, hold PAN, and upload EPF, ESI and GST registrations.
NIT-specific requirement: during the seven years ending 31.03.2026, complete 3 similar works each INR 63,13,323, or 2 each INR 78,91,654, or 1 of INR 1,26,26,646. Similar work is mechanized cleaning of listed institutional/commercial premises.
Average annualized turnover must be at least INR 47,34,993 for the three years ending 31.03.2026. CA-attested abridged balance sheets and P&L with UDIN are required; continuous losses in all three years cause rejection. No separate positive-net-worth threshold is stated.
No relaxation applies to years of experience or turnover for MSEs or start-ups.
Bidder must prove ownership or a hire agreement on INR 100 stamp paper for the Annexure-A rider-on sweeper; the machine in bidder possession must not be more than five years old. Execution SCC additionally requires at least six approved-make battery ride-on sweepers and a binding deployment presentation.
Bidder and relevant proprietors/partners/directors must not be under operative debarment/blacklisting by AAI, MoCA or DoE at technical opening or contract date. False credentials can cause EMD forfeiture and debarment. An entity is also barred where a director/partner/proprietor has another AAI-linked concern with outstanding dues.
Consortiums and joint ventures are prohibited; one firm cannot submit two applications, and related concerns controlled by the same proprietor/partner cannot tender separately.
Integrity Pact is mandatory because the estimated cost exceeds INR 100 lakh. A bidder from a country sharing a land border with India is eligible only if registered with the Competent Authority. Bid-time local-content self-certification is also required under MII compliance.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Two-year mechanized environmental support/housekeeping service at SGRDJI Airport, Amritsar, covering airport terminals, toilets, chairs/sofas, offices, internal/external façade, false ceiling, roads, paved city-side and air-side areas; labour, materials, machines and consumables are included.
Nine monthly area items: paved 3-shift 9,600 sqm; paved 1-shift 24,436.27 sqm; operational/apron/approach roads 3-shift 40,076.7 sqm; NPAX floor 3-shift 2,460.35 sqm; NPAX floor 1-shift 10,729.66 sqm; NPAX façade 236.61 sqm; NPAX toilets 3-shift 185.83 sqm; NPAX toilets 1-shift 502.25 sqm; NPAX chairs/sofas/carpets 194.94 sqm.
Deploy daily at least 3 supervisors, 6 operators and 21 sweepers; one shift is eight hours, with AAI deciding timing/deployment. Provide six approved-make battery ride-on sweepers (minimum 6,000 sqm/hour and five-hour battery), biometric attendance, and monthly minimum consumables listed in SCC.
Ride-on sweepers used airside must comply with DGCA/AAI CARs, AICs, guidelines and orders. Chemicals are restricted to listed approved makes with MSDS/environmental compliance; work follows daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly frequencies and emergency-to-routine response targets.
Start is reckoned 30 days after acceptance; AAI supplies water and power free, but the contractor must arrange distribution/connection at its cost. No machinery/equipment is supplied by AAI.
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 in two packets: Envelope I technical documents and Envelope II financial rates/item-wise breakup. Hard-copy bid is not entertained; only the original EMD instrument is physically sent.
Technical uploads must be digitally signed. Partnership bids must be signed by each partner or by a power-of-attorney holder; the uploaded POA must show registration under the Indian Partnership Act, 1952. Integrity Pact must be signed on every page by the authorized bid signatory.
Send the original EMD instrument by Speed Post to O/o Airport Director, AAI, SGRDJI Airport, Amritsar, Punjab, by 10.08.2026 at 1000 hrs; scanned and physical details must match. Postal delay is not accepted.
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.
GeM bid details close at 19:00 and open at 19:30 on 07.08.2026, while the AAI NIT closes at 17:00 on 07.08.2026 and opens Cover I at 11:00 on 10.08.2026. The live GeM bid-detail timestamps should govern portal submission/opening; seek confirmation because no corrigendum is supplied.
GeM bid details and NIT clause state INR 6,31,333, but GCC Schedule-A prints INR 6,31,332. Use INR 6,31,333 because it is the GeM EMD field and appears in the NIT's operative invitation; obtain written confirmation before issuing the instrument.
The NIT requires seven years ending 31.03.2026 at roughly 20%/25%/40% thresholds, but GeM's generated criterion requires similar services over the last three/current financial years at 40%/50%/80%. Bid Details separately say seven years. The NIT aligns with the bid's seven-year field, but the monetary thresholds require buyer clarification before bid/no-bid.
GeM says ePBG not required and GCC Clause 1 applies only from INR 5 crore, while generic GCC text asks for a 5% PG plus 5% SD. Schedule-A and Clause 1A prescribe 10% SD where PG does not apply. For this INR 3.1567 crore tender, no PG plus 10% SD is the coherent specific outcome.
GeM GTC requires bid security valid 45 days beyond the 180-day bid validity (225 days from bid end), but Annexure-6 says six months from last receipt of tender. GeM GTC is the higher-order portal term, so 225 days should apply; confirm the exact expiry date with AAI/bank before issuance.
SCC scope includes passenger-terminal toilets, chairs/sofas, façade and false ceiling, but all nine priced BOQ lines are paved/operational-road or non-passenger items. Because the contract is item-rate and no passenger-area payment line exists, confirm whether passenger areas are excluded or deemed included in other rates.
GeM GTC's default is 10 days for service payments, but the bid explicitly supersedes it with 15 days and SCC also states 15 days. The 15-day period prevails.
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 that the operative bid close/open times are 07.08.2026 19:00/19:30 from GeM, notwithstanding NIT's 17:00 close and 10.08.2026 Cover-I opening, and confirm original EMD remains due 10.08.2026 10:00.
Please issue one unambiguous experience matrix: seven years with INR 63,13,323/78,91,654/1,26,26,646 thresholds, or the GeM three-year 40%/50%/80% formula; also clarify whether ongoing works qualify and the cut-off date.
Please confirm the EMD is INR 6,31,333 (not Schedule-A's INR 6,31,332) and state the exact BG/surety expiry and any claim period, resolving 225 days under GeM against Annexure-6's six months.
Are passenger-terminal toilets, chairs/sofas, façade and false ceiling excluded from this non-LCS contract, or must they be included in one of the nine BOQ rates? If included, provide mapped quantities, shifts and payment item.
Clarify whether bid-stage proof must cover one or all six ride-on sweepers, whether hired equipment is acceptable despite 'possession' wording, whether all six must be new at commencement, and publish the presentation schedule/scoring/pass criteria because its deployment plan becomes contractually binding.
Please confirm ePBG is not required and only 10% security deposit applies, recovered through running bills with EMD adjustment, despite generic 5% PG/5% SD wording.
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.
The item-breakup total must exactly equal the GeM total; any mismatch disqualifies. A quote below minimum manpower cost including PF/ESI plus GST @18% also disqualifies, while rates include all statutory components and taxes.
Machine nonavailability attracts 10%/20%/100% of monthly machine item rate when work is done manually and 15%/30%/100% when not; missing current AMC costs 15%. More than five downtime instances in a month can trigger termination recommendation.
No biometric in/out record costs INR 500/day. Missing toilet consumables recovers one shift cost of that toilet block; cleanliness complaint INR 2,000; missing bin liner INR 500; staff indiscipline INR 200. AAI's Airport Director has final decision under these tables.
Below-target ASQ/CSI reduces monthly bills by the percentage shortfall, capped at 5%, until the next survey; a consistent 5% fall for three consecutive quarters can lead to termination. Targets are ASQ 4.68/prevailing MoU and CSI 4.50.
Bidder's technical-presentation work plan for manpower, chemical quantities/makes and machinery quantities/makes becomes part of the contract and must be followed 'at all costs', creating open-ended cost exposure above stated minimums.
Ten percent of each running bill is retained until security deposit reaches 10% of contract value, with EMD adjusted. Monthly client payment is nominally 15 days, but contractor wages are due by the 7th regardless, and delayed wages incur employee-level daily penalties.
Before work, contractor must carry third-party insurance of at least 10% of contract value plus separate mobile-machinery cover and indemnify AAI. Noncompliance is charged at policy cost for the uncovered period plus 15%, with losses also deducted.
No general item-rate escalation applies; only hikes in minimum wages, PF, bonus and ESI are reimbursable against evidence. BOQ quantities are approximate/variable, and SCC scope includes passenger areas absent from BOQ, so pricing allocation is risky until clarified.
