Bid Number GEM/2026/B/7864843 is dated 06-08-2026.
No pre-bid meeting date or bidder query/clarification deadline is scheduled in the GeM bid details.
Bid End Date/Time: 17-08-2026 13:00:00.
Bid Opening Date/Time: 17-08-2026 13:30:00.

Contract Period is 1 Year(s); SoW allows extension for 2nd/3rd year subject to conditions.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
SoW prices the Total Annual Contract Value at Rs. 9,27,52,839 (including GST and minimum 3.85% service-provider profit).
GeM bid header states EMD Required: No; ATC still requires a Bid Security declaration with the quotation.
No tender fee or bid participation fee is prescribed.
Despite ePBG Required: No on the bid header, ATC/SoW require Performance Security Bond of 5% of monthly payment amount (incl. GST) as BG/FDR.
L1 is decided on administrative charges/service-provider profit; minimum service charge is 3.85% (inclusive of GST).
Daily wages are fixed by skill and years of experience (Table-6); 26 working days/month; OT, TA, PF/ESI/MI and accident insurance are built into the price model.
SP must pay staff first, then claim monthly reimbursement from buyer with statutory proofs; wages to personnel by 7th of every calendar month.
MSE purchase preference is Yes: MSEs within L1+15% may match L1 for 100% quantity.
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.
Service Provider must be a company registered/incorporated under the Indian Companies Act, with own bank account and statutory registrations.
Office presence is mandatory: bid requires presence in Telangana; SoW requires Registered/Branch Office in Hyderabad city, with limited time to establish if absent.
3 years past experience of similar services is required (ending March prior to bid opening) with Central/State Govt/PSU.
Over last three years (current FY + last three FYs ending March prior to opening), complete similar services meeting 40%/50%/80% thresholds of estimated cost.
Average financial turnover of last 3 years (ending 31 March of previous FY) must be at least Rs. 3,09,17,613 (1/3 of estimated cost).
Complete MSE and Startup relaxation from Years of Experience and Turnover is available, subject to quality/technical specs and supporting documents.
Bidder must not be blacklisted/debarred and must not be under liquidation, court receivership or bankruptcy.
Sub-contracting is not allowed under SoW; buyer-added terms allow assignment/sub-contract only with prior written buyer consent, with joint and several liability retained.
Bidders from countries sharing a land border with India are eligible only if registered with the Competent Authority (GeM GTC clause 26).
MII Compliance is Yes.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Outsourcing of technical manpower services for ACC, Propulsion & R&QA work centres at ASL, DRDO Hyderabad — 166 persons for 12 months.
Fixed quantum presently 166 persons: Unskilled 24, Semi-skilled 76, Skilled 27, Highly skilled 39; division split ACC 96, Propulsion 39, R&QA 31.
Unskilled: 10th or below; Semi-skilled: HSC/Intermediate/ITI; Skilled: BA/B.Com/B.Sc or Diploma in Engg; Highly Skilled: BE/B.Tech/M.Sc/MCA/M.Com/MBA and above.
Work at ASL Kanchanbagh, Hyderabad; Mon–Sat 0840–1710 with 30-min lunch; 12 leaves/year (max 1/month); OT capped at 25 physical hours/month.
Deployed personnel are SP employees only (no absorption claim); strict security/NDA regime applies at ASL premises.
Contract effective when all personnel report at ASL after prior ASL approval; period is one calendar year from effective date.
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 Single Packet Bid on GeM; financial price-breakup document required; no multi-cover physical tender structure stated.
ATC compliance and SoW compliance must be on bidder letterhead with ink signature and firm stamp/seal.
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 pack contains no corrigendum/addendum documents; original GeM bid dated 06-08-2026 and attached SoW/ATC values apply as published.
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.
Bid details show EMD Required: No and ePBG Required: No, but ATC/SoW still demand Bid Security declaration and 5% performance security BG/FDR.
Documents conflict on whether office must already be in Telangana state, already in Hyderabad city, or may be opened after L1/award.
SoW says minimum wages will be handed over during a pre-bid meeting scheduled in the bid document, but the GeM bid publishes no pre-bid date.
SoW forbids assignment/sub-contract outright; buyer-added generic term allows it with prior written buyer consent.
File 1785737814.pdf is bit-identical to SoW file 1785737800.pdf, though the bid labels it as the buyer's minimum-wages Code-on-Wages undertaking.
SoW pages alternately footered 'Revised on 14/01/2026' and 'Revised on 30/07/2024' (price tables/annexures).
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 proprietorship/partnership/LLP can bid, given SoW requires incorporation under Indian Companies Act.
Seek written clarity on whether a Hyderabad-city office must exist at bid submission or may be opened within 30 days/1 month of L1/award.
Confirm legal/commercial terms of mandatory employment of almost all existing resources: wage continuity, PF/ESI transfer, notice liabilities, and rejection rights if ASL committee selects individuals.
Request the exact Bid Security declaration format and clarify PSB delay penalty that refers to 'EMD amount' while EMD is Not Required.
Ask whether any pre-bid/CNDA process is still required, since no pre-bid date is scheduled but SoW clause 34 refers to one.
Confirm how the 3.85% inclusive-of-GST floor and the Rs. 9,27,52,839 minimum total bid value are to be entered on GeM so quotes are not auto-rejected.
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.
Successful bidder must take over almost all existing 166 personnel selected by ASL — limited freedom to staff the contract.
SP must pay full wages by the 7th every month and all statutory dues before claiming reimbursement, on a ~Rs. 63.36 lakh/month wage bill before GST/profit.
Failure to submit 5% PSB BG/FDR on time attracts weekly 0.5% LD (cap 10%) and cancellation plus 1-year debarment beyond 60 days.
ASL may terminate without cost for non-satisfactory performance; failed extension feedback (<80/100) bars SP from Lab biddings for two years.
If SP fails to ensure accident insurance in month 1, SP must pay Rs.10,00,000 sum assured on any casualty or face deduction from bills; similar actuals liability for ESI/medical insurance failures.
DRDO ASL security regime (device ban, frisking, NDA, no union/strike) creates operational and compliance risk for deployed staff.
Published 06-08-2026 with bid end 17-08-2026 (~11 days) to assemble company docs, auditor turnover certificate, experience proofs and local-office evidence.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
Ministry of Defence — Department of Defence Research & Development — Office of DG (MSS); services for Advanced Systems Laboratory (ASL), Hyderabad.
