If the specified receipt/opening date is a UT Administration holiday, opening shifts to the next working day at the appointed time.
Technical bid opening
Technical proposals open on 12/08/2026 at 1100 hrs at the Office of the Member Secretary, DNHPDA.
Opening address elsewhere stated as A Wing, Second Floor, District Secretariat Building, Silvassa.
Table 1 Sr. No. 8 also says place/date/time for opening of technical/financial proposals will be communicated to technically qualified bidders later — report this conflict under contradictions.
Financial bids of only pre-qualification and technical-qualified bidders are opened; financial opening is communicated later.
Bid validity
Bid validity is 180 days.
Table 1 and Invitation para 13 state Bid validity period is 180 days.
Clause 4.6 states bids shall be valid for 180 days after the date of bid opening; shorter validity is non-responsive.
Post-award signing timeline
Successful bidder must submit and sign the agreement within 15 days of receipt of Letter of Acceptance.
PBG is also due within 15 days from receipt of notification of award (see financials).
Financials
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
6
Estimated / tender value
No estimated project cost or tender value is stated in the RFP or BOQ as a rupee figure.
BOQ is an item-rate template with Quantity 1 Job and Estimated Rate shown as 1 (placeholder); bidder enters rate inclusive of applicable GST.
Financial Proposal Form 6 is a single lump-sum line item inclusive of GST and all other taxes.
Bid processing / tender fee
Bid processing fee is Rs. 5,000/- as Demand Draft in favour of “Member Secretary, DNHPDA” payable at Silvassa, submitted with the covering letter (physical).
No MSME exemption is stated for the bid processing fee.
EMD / bid security
EMD is Rs. 30,000/-; MSME registered vendors are exempted.
Invitation para 4 allows Demand Draft OR unconditional Bank Guarantee valid for 12 months from last date of bid submission OR FDR, from Nationalized/public sector/Private Sector/Commercial/Co-Operative/Rural Banks, in the name of “Member Secretary, DNHPDA” payable at Silvassa.
Table 1 Sr. No. 7 and Clause 8.2 state EMD in the form of FDR (Clause 8.2: FDR from any Nationalized Bank) — conflicting acceptable forms; see contradictions.
Proposals without EMD are non-responsive (except MSME exemption).
Successful bidder’s bid security discharged only after contract signing and performance security; unsuccessful EMD refunded promptly but not later than 30 days of the validity period of the bid.
EMD forfeited if bidder withdraws during validity, or successful bidder fails to sign Contract or furnish performance security.
Clause 8.2 ends with “No exemption for submitting the EMD will be given to any agency,” conflicting with MSME exemption — see contradictions.
Performance security (PBG)
Successful bidder must submit Performance Bank Guarantee @ 5% of total order value within 15 days of notification of award, valid for 12 months from date of issue of work order.
Payable to Member Secretary, DNHPDA, Silvassa as compensation for failure to complete obligations.
Returned on completion of performance obligations/successful implementation; no interest payable.
On contract amendment, amended PBG within 21 days for the amended contract duration.
Authority may invoke BG for recoveries if recoveries exceed amount payable to bidder.
Prescribed PBG format is FORM 7 (Annexure-VII).
Payment terms
Milestone payments: 20% on approved Project Design Report; 50% on Testing/Demo/UAT/Go-Live readiness; 30% on Go-Live, handover, documentation, training and final acceptance. No advance payment.

Scope of work
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
6
What is being procured
Design, develop, implement, test, commission, integrate and maintain an Online Labour Registration Certificate and Labour Cess Fee Management Module with the existing OBPAS in Dadra and Nagar Haveli District.
Objective: complete online processing of labour-related approvals, electronic fee payment, workflow-based scrutiny, certificate generation, and integration with existing departmental services.
Background: OBPAS already operational for PDA and Silvassa Municipal Council (SMC); labour registration and cess currently processed separately by Labour Department.
Labour Registration Certificate Module
Build OBPAS-embedded Labour Registration (Form-I) with document upload, auto fee calculation, payment gateway, workflow, digitally signed certificate, shortfall handling, status tracking and auto-filing into the building permission record.
Mandatory docs include 7/12 Extract, NA Order, ownership/possession proof, and other Labour Department requirements.
Workflow roles: Applicant/Architect → DEO → BOCW Officer → LEO → RDC (final approval).
Configurable workflow, role-based permissions, audit trail, electronic notifications; bidder must verify workflow with department and change portal accordingly.
Includes change-request management for workflow/UI-UX integration into OBPS.
Labour Cess Management Module
Build Labour Cess Certificate module integrated with Occupancy Certificate processing, including valuation-based cess calculation, challans, payments, additional demand, and digital certificate storage in the building file.
Initiate from OC module; entry of building valuation; auto cess % fixed by labour department; online payment; uploads (photos, plans auto-fetched from OBPS, valuation certificate).
Auto-retrieve Labour Registration Certificate, cess receipt, revenue docs, other project records from OBPAS.
Workflow: Applicant → DEO → BOCW Officer → Cess Officer (PWD) → Applicant (additional cess if any) → Cess Officer final certificate; jurisdiction-based assignment to Regional Cess Officer (PWD).
Integration, functional and deployment requirements
Integrate with OBPAS building permission/OC workflows, applicant DB, architect login, payment/SMS/email gateways, DMS, auth/roles, DSC where applicable; browser-based responsive app with SSO, RBAC, MIS, audit trail; deploy for PDA DNH.
General functional requirements also cover shortfall management, dashboards, search/tracking, backup/recovery, API integration, full testing (functional/performance/UAT), training and manuals, source code/schema/config handover, 24-hour query resolution, admin rights for DNHPDA, additional logins without extra charge.
Deployment: operational for Planning & Development Authority (PDA), Dadra & Nagar Haveli; solution must function uniformly across both authorities without separate instances unless directed — wording implies PDA and SMC from background.
Hosted on Government-approved Cloud Infrastructure with daily automated backups plus dedicated server copy.
Security audit: bidder resolves STQC/security auditor vulnerabilities at no extra cost; Authority pays the auditor; bidder also to conduct government-approved security audit via NIC or Government-approved agency.
Timeline and AMC
Total project duration is 1 Month & 15 days from work order: Design Report T+10 days; UAT/Go-Live readiness T+30 days; Go-Live/handover/final acceptance T+45 days; plus 1-year AMC from Go-Live.
T starts from date of issue of work order.
Progress report every 3 weeks required.
AMC may extend up to further 5 years (see financials for cap).
Exit management requires plan 3 months before contract end; handholding 30 days with successor; source code, licenses, APIs, backups to be handed over.
IPR, data ownership and standards
All project data remains sole property of DNHPDA; bespoke source code and documentation to Authority; COTS IPR remains with OEM with perpetual license and trademark/copyright certificates at exit.
Solution must incorporate applicable Acts/Rules/Notifications; comply with data protection, cyber security and IT laws; GFR 2017 / DFPR 2024 / CPWD / CVC referenced for procurement compliance by Authority.
Bidder provides source code escrow/access and architecture docs on successful implementation.
Required documents & submission
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.
21
Submission mode and portal
Technical and Financial bids must be submitted online only on https://dnhtenders.gov.in; telex/cable/e-mail/facsimile bids are rejected.
Online participation instructions available from https://dnhtenders.gov.in.
Financial bid online only; no financial bid in physical/offline form.
Bidder may modify/withdraw before last date via e-tendering site; no modification after deadline.
Late bids rejected and/or returned unopened.
RFP document is not transferable; download from https://dnhtenders.gov.in.
Physical cover structure
Physical sealed envelope(s) for EMD & Bid Processing Fee (and Affidavit) in a main sealed cover titled with the full RFP name, to Office of Member Secretary, DNHPDA by 11/08/2026 1500 hrs.
Clause 4.2: Cover of EMD, Bid Processing Fee and Affidavit (Physical at DNHPDA).
Bid materials must be considered confidential and submitted in sealed envelope clearly marked “Confidential” (Clause 8.1).
Covering letter Form 1 wording still refers to Technical and Financial Proposals sealed under separate envelopes, which conflicts with online-only technical/financial submission — see contradictions.
Signing and language rules
Bids and correspondence in English; RFP and addendums to be duly signed by Authorized person on each page; documents must be properly signed for preliminary examination.
No Class of DSC for e-portal is specified in this RFP (portal instructions to be taken from dnhtenders.gov.in).
Power of Attorney required if proposal is not signed by Proprietor/Partner/Director or person with appropriate authority; Form 3 to be notarized.
Anti-blacklisting declaration on stamp paper of relevant value.
Corrigendum analysis
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.
1
No corrigendum / addendum found
The workspace contains only the original RFP (Tendernotice_1.pdf) and BOQ_8369.xls; no corrigendum or addendum documents are present.
All dates, fees and conditions above are as printed in the original RFP dated 28/07/2026.
RFP Clause 3.5 contemplates future corrigenda on https://dnhtenders.gov.in, but none are included in this document set.
Contradictions
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.
8
EMD acceptable instruments conflict
Invitation allows DD or BG (12-month validity) or FDR from a wide bank set, while Table 1 and Clause 8.2 restrict EMD to FDR (Clause 8.2: Nationalized Bank only).
Invitation para 4 (p.6): DD OR unconditional BG valid 12 months from last bid submission date OR FDR; banks include Nationalized/public sector/Private/Commercial/Co-Operative/Rural Banks.
Table 1 Sr. No. 7 (p.7): Rs. 30,000/- (in the form of FDR).
Clause 8.2 (p.17): EMD in the form of FDR from any Nationalized Bank.
Invitation also says “as per prescribed format given in this RFP” but no EMD instrument format is printed (only PBG Form 7).
Practical action: seek clarification; safest conservative reading is FDR from a Nationalized Bank unless Authority confirms DD/BG still acceptable.
MSME EMD exemption vs ‘no exemption’ wording
Multiple places exempt MSME from EMD, but Clause 8.2 also says no EMD exemption will be given to any agency.
Invitation para 4 and Table 1 and Clause 8.2 bullet “EMD is exempted for MSME registered vendors.”
Same Clause 8.2 final sentence: “No exemption for submitting the EMD will be given to any agency.”
Prevailing intent appears to be MSME exemption (repeated thrice), but the closing sentence creates rejection risk — clarify in pre-bid.
Technical opening date fixed vs ‘to be communicated later’
Table 1 Sr. No. 4 fixes technical opening on 12/08/2026 at 1100 hrs, while Sr. No. 8 says technical/financial opening place/date/time will be communicated later.
Financial opening is separately described as communicated after technical qualification (consistent with Sr. No. 8 for financial).
For technical opening, Sr. No. 4 is the specific scheduled date; Sr. No. 8 creates ambiguity — monitor portal/communications.
Bid validity anchor (absolute 180 days vs after bid opening)
Table 1 states bid validity 180 days, while Clause 4.6 measures 180 days after the date of bid opening.
If technical opening is 12/08/2026, Clause 4.6 yields validity to about mid-February 2027; Table 1 does not state the start date.
Use the longer/more specific Clause 4.6 reading for instrument planning and seek clarification if needed.
Physical vs online proposal packaging language
Body of RFP requires technical and financial bids online only with physical EMD/fee/affidavit cover, but Form 1 still says Technical and Financial Proposals sealed under separate envelopes.
Form 1 appears to be a leftover offline template — still submit Form 1 content, but do not rely on sealed tech/finance envelopes as the mode.
Deployment scope: PDA only vs ‘both authorities’
Deployment section names only PDA, yet says the solution must function uniformly across both authorities; background states OBPAS serves PDA and SMC.
9.6: operational for PDA, DNH; also “functions uniformly across both authorities without requiring separate application instances unless specifically directed by DNHPDA.”
9.1 background: OBPAS operational for PDA and Silvassa Municipal Council (SMC).
Clarify whether SMC go-live/integration is in base scope or only if directed.
Force Majeure beneficiary wording anomaly
Clause 8.6 appears to relieve the Authority (not the service provider) from LD/termination for Force Majeure, while Clause 10.8 correctly relieves the bidder.
8.6: “the Authority shall not be liable for liquidated damages or termination for default…” if delay is Force Majeure — unusual drafting.
10.8: “the bidder shall not be liable for forfeiture of security, liquidated damages or termination for default…” for Force Majeure.
Clause 10.8 is the coherent allocation of risk for bidder performance delays.
PQ entity form vs Form 2 organization types
PQ requires company registration under Companies Act, while Form 2 allows Government/Public/Private/Partnership/Proprietorship/Other and consortium is banned.
Table 2 Sr No. 1: registered under Companies Registration act 1956 or 2013.
Form 2 Nature of Organization includes Partnership/Proprietorship/Other.
Non-company entities appear PQ-ineligible despite Form 2 options — confirm if only companies may bid.
Pre-bid queries
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.
5
Confirm EMD instrument, bank eligibility and MSME exemption documents
Ask Authority to confirm whether DD/BG/FDR are all acceptable, which banks qualify, whether MSME exemption stands despite the ‘no exemption’ sentence, and which MSME proof is required.
Also ask for the missing prescribed EMD format referenced in Invitation para 4.
Material to bid responsiveness and working-capital planning.
Define ‘similar nature’ and acceptable project evidence for PQ/tech scoring
Request definition of similar work (e.g., labour/cess modules, OBPAS/building-plan systems, any e-governance workflow) and whether ongoing projects count equally for technical marks as completed ones.
PQ Sr No. 3 allows ongoing/completed ≥20 lacs; Sr No. 4 requires successfully developing and implementing similar work; tech scoring distinguishes ‘implemented projects >20 lakhs’ and ‘successfully completed development and design… Web/Mobile Application’.
Ambiguity can decide bid/no-bid for pure product/IT firms without construction-labour domain credentials.
Access to existing OBPAS stack, APIs, hosting and Labour Department systems
Seek tech stack, source-code/API access model, payment/SMS/email gateway ownership, cloud hosting responsibility/cost, and Labour Department readiness for Form-I/cess rules and DSC certificate issuance.
45-day delivery is aggressive without early access to OBPAS and departmental workflow confirmation.
Clarify whether bidder hosts on Government cloud at own cost or Authority provides infrastructure/server (8.16 says server provided by authority for installation).
Is SMC in base scope and is 1-year AMC priced inside the single lump sum?
Clarify whether Silvassa Municipal Council deployment is mandatory in base price, and whether the quoted Form 6/BOQ amount must include the mandatory 1-year AMC (no separate AMC line item).
Financial form has only one commercial line; extended AMC capped at 15% p.a. of original project cost — confirm base-year AMC is not separately payable.
Affects pricing and resourcing for multi-authority rollout.
Unlimited in-scope change requests at fixed price and 24x7 24-hour resolution SLA
Ask whether change-request management ‘within the scope’ and workflow/UI changes demanded by departments are uncapped during implementation and AMC, and what severity matrix applies to the 24-hour resolution/penalty rule.
8.5 requires in-scope CRs at same quoted rates; scope repeatedly includes any CR for workflow/UI-UX.
9.5/10.2 impose penalty if query not resolved within 0–24 hours — commercially severe without prioritization rules.
Risks
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.
6
Very tight 45-day delivery with multi-department integration
Full design-to-Go-Live in T+45 days including Labour Registration and Cess workflows, payment gateways, DSC certificates and OBPAS integration is high execution risk.
Milestones: design T+10, UAT readiness T+30, final acceptance T+45.
Workflows must be verified with department and changed accordingly — external dependency.
Progress report every 3 weeks still required inside a 6.5-week schedule.
Delay LD and harsh performance penalties
Delay LD is 1% per week of the delayed milestone value, capped at 10% of that milestone; separate penalty clause allows forfeit of PG, ≥5% of unperformed services, or termination without notice.
10.2 LD: 1% per week of corresponding payment milestone value, max 10% of that milestone value.
6.10: if not executing to satisfaction — forfeit performance guarantee OR proportionate penalty not less than 5% of delivered price of unperformed services OR terminate without notice.
AMC/support: penalty if query not resolved within 0–24 hours; costs recoverable from bidder.
Member Secretary may waive LD if not solely attributable to Service Provider.
Fixed-price unlimited in-scope change and back-loaded cash flow
Prices fixed; in-scope CRs at same rates; no advance; only 20% until design approval and 30% held until final acceptance after Go-Live.
Payment 20% / 50% / 30%; no advance.
Scope repeatedly requires any CR for workflow or UI-UX integration.
STQC/security vulnerabilities must be fixed at no additional cost.
PBG 5% for 12 months from work order — may outlast the 45-day build plus part of AMC depending on discharge practice.
One-sided termination, blacklisting and interpretation rights
Authority may terminate for default on 30 days’ notice; Clause 6.10 allows termination without notice; Authority’s interpretation of ambiguous clauses is final; corrupt/fraud findings lead to blacklisting.
6.9: Authority interpretation final and binding on ambiguity.
6.6: right to accept/reject any bid and cancel process without liability.
Fraudulent/bogus documents after award → immediate contract termination.
IPR infringement can trigger termination and blacklisting.
Exit on premature termination: provider must operate until handover with no downtime and 30-day handholding.
Evaluation discretion and non-L1 award risk
QCBS 70:30 with 30-mark presentation and committee right to modify evaluation process without notice; Authority may award other than lowest evaluated bid or split award.
Bid Evaluation Committee may modify evaluation process anytime without intimating bidders.
Unreasonably low or high rates after rate analysis → non-responsive rejection.
Conditional bids liable to rejection.
Liability, indemnity, law and dispute venue
Liability capped at total amount paid under project except wilful misconduct and IPR indemnity; disputes under Indian Arbitration Act with seat in Dadra and Nagar Haveli; courts of DNH only.
Bidder bears all taxes/duties/license fees including GST.
Employee NDAs required; strong confidentiality and data-protection obligations.
Applicable law: UT of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu.
