All important dates as they stand after corrigenda: publication, pre-bid/clarification deadline, bid submission deadline, bid opening, and bid validity period.
Bid dated/published 02-09-2026.
12-09-2026 at 13:00:00; no corrigendum is present in the tender folder.

60 days from the Bid End Date. The later buyer-added statement using 75 days is inconsistent and is reported under Contradictions.
No actual clarification/pre-bid deadline is printed. The ATC only refers to an unspecified ‘clarification end date’.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
INR 94,000 in favour of COMDT. The strictest buyer-added requirement says FDR/PBG only, valid 135 days from bid submission end, with the original reaching the buyer by bid opening; however, these conditions conflict with the Bid Details/GTC and require clarification.
Eligible exempt bidders must upload valid supporting proof. For goods, MSE exemption is limited to manufacturers; traders/resellers are excluded. The ATC also provides a bid-security declaration form for firms seeking EMD exemption.
3.00% of contract value, stated duration 14 months. Under GTC it is due within 15 days of award and must remain valid two months beyond all obligations including warranty; payment becomes due only after receipt and verification. The bid permits an account-payee DD but leaves its beneficiary/payable-at fields defective.
Bid price is firm, all-inclusive and landed at consignee destination, including taxes, transport, loading/unloading and local levies. No extra local-tax reimbursement is allowed.
For accepted goods, 100% payment is due within 10 days of CRAC and online bill submission. Rejected goods are unpaid. Seller must upload GST invoice and GST-payment screenshot when invoicing.
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.
Minimum average annual turnover: bidder INR 23 lakh and OEM INR 188 lakh over the last three years ending 31 March of the previous financial year. OEM net worth must be positive in the latest audited statement.
Bidder or OEM must have regularly manufactured and supplied the same/similar category to a Central/State Government organisation or PSU for 3 years before bid opening, with supply evidence for each year. The buyer-added Army-specific wording conflicts with this general criterion and GeM’s prohibition on organisation-specific experience.
Within the stated preceding period, bidder/OEM must show either one order at least 35%, two orders at least 20% each, or three orders at least 15% each of estimated bid value, with satisfactory performance certificates. Bid Details also require 80% past performance; ATC 33.4 adds an unclear GeM-order formula requiring clarification.
Only the OEM or an OEM-authorised dealer may bid. If both the OEM and its authorised dealer participate, both will be rejected. Dealers/resellers must submit bid-specific OEM authority.
Seller must be registered/empanelled/approved/enlisted with DGQA for the required category by bid opening. ATC also requires every bidder to submit NSIC registration for the item and Vendor Assessment.
The offered tyres must bear a valid BIS Standard Mark licence under Scheme-I for IS 15636. Bidder or OEM must have ISO 9001 and hold/upload a NABL test report plus all relevant BIS/type-test/approval certificates.
Only Class-I/Class-II local suppliers are eligible. Minimum local content is 50% for Class-I and 20% for Class-II; non-local suppliers are ineligible.
Bidder must not be under liquidation/receivership, bankrupt or insolvent; neither the entity/proprietor/directors may be banned, suspended, blacklisted or convicted. Participation is also conditioned on no GeM incident report in the last year and genuine/correct uploaded documents.
Bidder/OEM must provide a dedicated/toll-free support number and escalation matrix. A functional service centre is required in the consignee city for carry-in warranty, or must be established within 30 days of award.
Bid Details grant partial MSE relief (experience reduced to 1 year and turnover to INR 20 lakh) and complete startup relief from experience/turnover, subject to quality/technical compliance and proof. ATC 21 says these criteria ‘may not’ be relaxed; under the bid disclaimer, an ATC conflicting with Bid Details is invalid, so the Bid Details relief should prevail, but bidders should obtain written confirmation.
A bidder from a country sharing a land border with India is eligible only if registered with the Competent Authority; false declaration/non-compliance can cause immediate termination and legal action.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Supply only of 200 pneumatic commercial-vehicle tyres; no installation/service scope is stated. Buyer may increase/decrease award quantity by up to 50%, and may increase contracted quantity by up to 50% during the contract.
Normal-use, tube-type tyre without tube, diagonal/bias-ply, nominal rim diameter code 20 (508 mm), size 12.00–20 CC, suitable for light trucks and trucks in military applications; conformity to IS 15636 and BIS Standard Mark licence are mandatory.
Deliver 200 pieces to the masked consignee address in JALANDHAR CITY within 60 days. Delivery is free at site and includes loading/unloading; the supplier is responsible for loading/unloading at the yard and safe delivery/transit damage.
Within 5 days of award, successful bidder must submit one advance sample; buyer has 5 days to approve or list modifications. Bulk supply must match the approved/depot sample. Post-receipt/stage-wise inspection is by a Station Board of Officers, with external Government/NABL/accredited testing charges borne by seller where facilities are unavailable.
Five-year warranty from final acceptance. OEM warranty certificate and material test certificate are required with delivery; warranty replacements are at seller cost. The bid also requires original packing and minimum shelf life equal to warranty, although these are labelled ‘Ration Item ATCs’ and are anomalous for tyres.
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 on the GeM portal as a Two Packet Bid. Keep all price elements in the financial bid only; a price in the technical bid makes the offer non-responsive.
The ATC and acceptance letter must be on bidder letterhead and duly signed/stamped. GeM Aadhaar e-sign is treated at par with a digital signature; no particular DSC class is specified in these documents.
For non-exempt bidders, upload the scanned EMD instrument/proof online and deliver the original to the buyer. Conflicting deadlines say within 5 days of Bid End/opening and by the bid-opening date; follow the stricter bid-opening deadline unless clarified. No other physical document is validly required as a pre-qualification condition.
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.
Bid Details state 60-day bid validity, while ATC 33.1 calculates EMD validity from 75 days and adds 60 days (135 total). GeM GTC ordinarily requires EMD validity 45 days beyond bid validity. The 60-day bid validity prevails over contradictory ATC; the exact EMD validity remains unsafe and should be clarified (105 days under GTC versus 135 days under ATC).
Bid Details accept surety bond and Buyer Added ATC 16 accepts Banker’s Cheque, while later ATC 33.1 says FDR/PBG only and expressly rejects DD/Banker’s Cheque. GTC defines DD, FDR, Banker’s Cheque, BG/e-BG, surety and online payment as possible forms. Since the disclaimer invalidates ATCs contrary to EMD Detail, the FDR/PBG-only restriction should not prevail, but written confirmation is essential.
ATC 16 permits hard-copy delivery within 5 days of Bid End/Bid Opening, but later ATCs 7 and 33.2 require receipt by the bid-opening date. The later, stricter bid-opening deadline should be followed.
Bid Details and standard bid conditions grant MSE/startup relaxation, but buyer ATC 21 says relaxation may not be given. The disclaimer voids buyer ATCs contrary to Bid Details, so the stated Bid Details relaxations prevail.
The standard experience clause accepts supplies to any Central/State Government organisation or PSU, while buyer ATCs refer to Army/concerned Government-department experience. The disclaimer expressly prohibits experience from a specific organisation; therefore the broader standard criterion prevails.
ATC 27 requires a service centre in the State of each consignee, while later ATC 15 requires one in the consignee city. The later and more specific city requirement should be followed.
GeM GTC provides 5% normally and 10% only for inordinate delay; buyer ATC imposes up to 10% for any delay. ATC supersedes GTC where conflicting, so the 10% bid-specific cap applies.
The bid requires rectification within 5 days but later requires next-business-day replacement; GTC says 7 days. Treat NBD as the replacement deadline and 5 days as the outer servicing/rectification deadline, but the overlap should be confirmed.
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.
Request an amendment confirming whether bid validity is 60 or 75 days, whether EMD validity is 105 or 135 days, and the final accepted instruments (including surety/Banker’s Cheque versus FDR/PBG only). These affect bid-security issuance and bid responsiveness.
Ask buyer to confirm that the published MSE/startup relaxation and experience with any Central/State Government organisation/PSU apply, notwithstanding ATCs suggesting no relief and Army-specific experience.
Clarify ATC 33.4: what ‘balance 70%’ means, whether both 80% subject-item and 70% similar-item thresholds are cumulative, the measurement period/value basis, and whether non-GeM Government supplies count.
Provide the exact CQA/defence specification, drawings, inspection/QAP criteria, depot-sample viewing procedure and contact. Current terms require matching a depot sample and external specifications while GeM disclaimer prohibits external-document clauses; this directly affects product compliance and pricing.
Ask buyer to issue the missing beneficiary and payable-at details for the account-payee DD option and reconcile 14-month ePBG duration with the five-year warranty/GTC requirement to remain valid beyond all warranty obligations.
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.
Late delivery attracts LD at 0.5% per week or part, capped at 10% of contract value. Uncured delivery/quality breach after 45 days permits whole/partial cancellation; default procurement excess is recoverable up to 2% of contract value.
One sample is due within 5 days of award; major deviation can trigger fresh sampling or termination. Compliance also depends on a depot sample/CQA/defence specification not reproduced in the tender, increasing rejection and pricing risk.
Stage-wise/post-receipt inspection decisions are final; seller bears facilities, samples and external testing costs, and consignee may reject even stores previously inspector-cleared. This leaves acceptance heavily buyer-controlled.
Five-year warranty creates long-tail exposure. Rectification delay costs 0.5% of unit price per week up to 10% of total contract value, after which alternate-source rectification, PBG forfeiture and reimbursement apply; another clause demands free NBD replacement at site.
A ‘Ration Item ATC’ charges 0.5% of total contract value per day if rejected items are not lifted within 48 hours and permits destruction after one month with no claim. Its applicability to tyres is questionable but financially severe.
Buyer can vary initial quantity by ±50% and later increase contracted quantity by 50% at contracted rates. Price must absorb transport, taxes, loading/unloading, samples/testing and local levies.
Payment follows acceptance/CRAC and is not due until performance security is received and verified. The stated 14-month ePBG conflicts with a five-year warranty and GTC validity through warranty plus two months, potentially tying up security much longer.
Bid Details select neither arbitration nor mediation. Disputes therefore expose bidder to buyer-side dispute mechanisms/courts, with no contractually selected arbitral route.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
Buyer email: [email protected]. HOD grievance-redressal email: [email protected]. No person name, phone number, office name or full postal address is disclosed; the office and consignee address are masked.
EMD beneficiary/addressee is COMDT, Department of Military Affairs, Indian Army, Ministry of Defence. The tender does not print the physical delivery address; bidders should obtain it from the buyer before dispatching the original.
