After Technical Corrigendum (27.07.2026): minimum two (02) similar laboratory projects in each of FYs 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25, with cumulative value of ₹1.60 crore or above in each financial year.

Design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of modular laboratory furniture/setup on turnkey basis at PAGREXCO F&V Processing Unit, Village Jahan Khelan, Hoshiarpur, Punjab.
Site: PAGREXCO Fruit & Vegetable Processing Plant / Unit at Village Jahan Khelan, Hoshiarpur, Punjab; bidders must visit and acquaint themselves with site conditions before quoting.
Modular lab furniture must meet hygiene/food-lab requirements; SEFA 8M/SEFA 10 and EN 14727 testing/certification apply; worktops may be granite except Micro Testing Room (SS mandatory).
Turnkey supply-install-commission with 12-month warranty from commissioning/successful trial; repeat orders for other PAGREXCO F&V plants may be placed on unit-area rates.
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 two-bid submission only on https://eproc.punjab.gov.in; no other mode accepted.
Bids/associated correspondence in English on prescribed formats; interlineations valid only if initialled by authorized signatory; DNIT must be signed and stamped; no separate physical hard-copy submission deadline is prescribed.
Technically qualified bidders must deliver a technical presentation; Corporation may seek clarifications/additional information during evaluation.
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.
Issued column/layout drawing (Annexure-one layout) for the Hoshiarpur lab structure.
Bid submission/opening extended nine times in substance from original 21.04.2026 to final 14.08.2026 11:00 AM / 02:30 PM; other terms stated unchanged in each pure date corrigendum.
Substantive amendment: tightened yearly experience to ₹1.60 crore cumulative per FY, added SEFA PO certifications and post-install SEFA test, mandated fume hoods (ASHRAE), allowed granite worktops except Micro Testing, accepted EN 14727, and replaced scope with 11-room component BOQ + drawings (Annexure A).
Final operative snapshot: bid due 14.08.2026 11:00 AM; technical opening 14.08.2026 02:30 PM; pre-bid still 07.04.2026 11:00 AM; fees/EMD unchanged (₹10,000 / ₹2,00,000); experience as Technical Corrigendum ₹1.60 Cr cumulative/year × 2 projects/year; scope/BOQ per Annexure A with fume hoods and granite-except-micro rules.
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.
DNIT Clause 2.9.4 requires supply/installation/commissioning within six months of work order/advance BG, while Clause 2.11 requires setting up within three months of PO so equipment is successfully commissioned — both cannot be read as a single clear deadline.
Original DNIT/Tender Notice set submission at 11:30 AM on 21.04.2026; all date-extension corrigenda use 11:00 AM. Final applicable time is 11:00 AM on 14.08.2026 per latest corrigendum.
Original DNIT required 2 similar works/year each ≥₹80 lakhs (six projects). Technical Corrigendum requires 2 similar laboratory projects each FY with cumulative value ≥₹1.60 crore per FY. Amended cumulative/yearly rule prevails.
DNIT Section 5.1 specifies SS316 worktops; Technical Corrigendum permits granite in all areas except Micro Testing (SS mandatory) and Annexure A schedules 20 mm jet-black granite. Amended alternative prevails except Micro Testing.
Original DNIT requires galvanized steel cabinets with epoxy powder coating (min thicknesses specified); Technical Corrigendum Annexure A describes many base cabinets as 19mm HDHMR with chemical-resistant laminate. Scope quantities/specs in Annexure A are mandated for bidding, creating a materials conflict with unamended Section 5 text.
DNIT Section 5 lists five laboratory sections; Technical Corrigendum expands to eleven named areas with 98 line items/378 quantities and states bidders must consider Annexure A. Expanded Annexure A scope prevails for bidding.
DNIT requires financial bid in prescribed proforma (Proforma 10) and also mandates submission only through e-proc financial bid format/BOQ; both seek cost per unit area. Portal BOQ is the operable upload, but documents do not reconcile whether Proforma 10 must also be uploaded in technical/financial covers.
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 PAGREXCO to confirm the contractual completion/commissioning deadline used for the 0.5%/week delay penalty, given Clauses 2.9.4 and 2.11 conflict.
Seek written ruling whether evaluation/acceptance will be against Annexure A (19mm HDHMR laminate) or original Section 5 GI epoxy-coated steel construction, or a hybrid.
Request the exact area denominator (which rooms/sq.ft) and whether portal BOQ lump-sum unit-area rate must embed all 378 Annexure A components, fume hoods, ovens and utilities with no quantity variation.
DNIT requires PBG within 15 days of award but does not state the percentage/amount of award-stage PBG (distinct from the 10% retention-linked PBG).
Confirm whether consortium relief/aggregation is disallowed entirely, including ISO/SEFA/OEM authorizations, given the strict individual-fulfililment wording.
DNIT micro/QA requirements include negative/positive pressure, 8–12 ACH, HEPA, Class II BSC and dedicated gas lines; Annexure A is largely furniture/fixtures. Clarify split of responsibility and whether these are priced inside unit-area rate.
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.
Delay penalty 0.5% per week (or part) up to maximum 2.5% of (implied contract) value; separately, if aggregate unpaid penalties exceed 10% of Contract Value the contract terminates automatically.
Technical Corrigendum requires rates to include all accessories/incidentals and any additional approved item without extra cost; bidder must self-assess site needs with no extra payment.
Bidder funds performance via online EMD (held for successful bidder until 3 months after commissioning), award-stage PBG, 20% advance BG, and final 10% held for 3 months against another 12-month PBG.
MD, PAGREXCO is sole arbitrator; legal jurisdiction only Chandigarh courts; Corporation interpretation of tender/contract clauses is final and binding; broad indemnity from successful bidder.
High bars: >₹5 Cr turnover each relevant year narrative, 10 years’ similar experience, 2 lab projects/year with ₹1.60 Cr cumulative/year, SEFA certifications on past POs, triple ISO, and post-install SEFA test before acceptance.
Owner supplies only single-point utilities; bidder carries remaining civil/electrical/plumbing/cabling plus fume hoods to ASHRAE and potentially pressure regimes/BSC/HEPA stated in DNIT — interface and latent-scope risk is high on a tight programme.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
