All important dates as they stand after corrigenda: publication, pre-bid/clarification deadline, bid submission deadline, bid opening, and bid validity period.
Tender notification dated 27 May 2026.
Pre-bid queries were due by 1 June 2026 at 17:30; the pre-bid meeting was scheduled for 2 June 2026 at 15:00 at the DGM-1 office. These dates were not amended by the eight corrigenda.
Latest deadline: 9 September 2026 before 17:00 hours. Corrigenda 1-8 extended the original 9 June 2026 deadline through 30 June, 21 July, 10 August, 17 August, 25 August, 29 August and 2 September to this final date.
Latest opening: 10 September 2026 after 17:30 hours. Corrigenda 1-8 moved it from 10 June 2026 through the successive amended dates to this final date.
At least 180 days from the final Bid Due Date (9 September 2026); extension is by mutual consent of the bidder and Authority.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
Amount put to tender is Rs. 1,416.48 lakh per annum; the contract period is 84 months.
Total EMD is Rs.15,00,000: Rs.1,00,000 through e-payment (online/RTGS/NEFT/OTC) and Rs.14,00,000 by bank guarantee/FDR from a nationalized or scheduled bank. Cheque/DD is not accepted for the e-payment component. No separate instrument-expiry period is stated; unsuccessful security is refundable without interest within the stated 45-day framework, while the selected bidder's security is retained until agreement signing and performance security.
The document cost is stated only as 'As per e-Portal'. The online transaction fee payable after portal registration is non-refundable; the tender documents do not state a rupee amount.
Clause 3.9 requires an irrevocable bank guarantee equal to 5% of one-year Contract Value, renewed annually for the anticipated amount of the next year, each BG valid 3 months beyond its annual renewal period. Appendix VII instead states a 5% security deposit based on total quoted Contract Price, due within 20 days and valid 30 days beyond contract expiry; this conflict requires written clarification and is recorded under contradictions.
Invoices are paid monthly after vehicle deployment/attendance and statutory-payment verification, with KPI deductions. RFP Clause 7 says the prior month's bill is due by the 7th (0.1% fine if late), and Schedule C releases 80% against the bill/ESI/PF/salary proof while holding 20% for penalties. Vehicle rental/O&M is not escalable; fuel/energy follows WPI, driver/helper wages follow amended minimum wages, tolls are reimbursed, and GST is extra. The draft agreement's different 5th-day and 75%/25% terms are recorded as contradictions.
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.
Single entities may be companies under the Companies Act 1956/2013 or equivalent foreign law, HUFs, NGOs, societies, trusts, registered partnership firms or registered sole proprietors. Consortiums are permitted; joint ventures are expressly not allowed.
In at least two of FY 2020-21 to 2024-25, minimum annual turnover must be Rs.2,832.96 lakh (twice annual estimated value), with 10% annual weightage to current value. Submit five audited annual reports and a five-year turnover certificate bearing UDIN, CA signature/seal and membership number. No separate net-worth threshold is stated.
In any one of FY 2020-21 to 2024-25, execute similar work worth Rs.708.24 lakh, with 10% annual weightage. Evidence must be a performance certificate from the ULB head or an officer not below Executive Engineer.
In any one of the same five years, execute MSW works/services involving 99 auto tippers (3/4 wheeler) and 10 compactors of at least 14 cum, each being 80% of required vehicles.
Valid ESI, EPF and labour registration are required, plus ESI/PF return challans for any one of FY 2020-21 to 2024-25. At bid stage, labour registration may be replaced by an affidavit promising submission before mobilization.
Provide an unconditional banker certificate/credit line/letter of credit of Rs.424.944 lakh from a nationalized/scheduled bank, specific to this invitation. Available bid capacity, calculated as (A*N*1.5-B), must exceed total tender value.
Maximum five members; designate a lead member; at least one member must have MSW-management experience. Combined technical/financial capacity is counted. Lead must hold at least 30% and each member at least 15% equity during the seven-year lock-in; members remain jointly and severally liable until SPV formation and performance security. Composition cannot change during evaluation/agreement, and the consortium MOA plus member board resolutions are required.
A subsisting bar/blacklisting by BSWML, Karnataka/Central/State government bodies, ULBs or listed private agencies makes the bidder ineligible. The bidder must not have failed to perform in the last five years as evidenced by arbitral/judicial penalty or pronouncement. Any bidder/consortium member already declared L1 under the four specified earlier BSWML notifications is rejected, and a bidder may receive only one package.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Seven-year primary collection/transportation and secondary transportation of segregated MSW in KR Puram-1, Package P26, targeting 100% household and small-commercial coverage. Streams include wet, dry, sanitary, street-sweeping, micro C&D (up to 300 kg), animal carcasses and other listed waste, delivered without touching the ground to designated transfer/processing sites.
Collect residential waste at least daily, small-commercial waste twice daily (morning/evening), and commercial-area waste in night shift. Vehicles require GPS; daily/weekly/monthly reporting and weighment at designated facilities are mandatory. Transport 25% of collected dry waste to DWCCs and the balance as directed.
Financial schedule quantities are 32 one-cum three-wheel tippers, 71 two-cum four-wheelers, 11 five-cum covered four-wheelers, 10 five-cum open four-wheelers and 14 compactors (14 cum/7.5 tonnes minimum). Primary vehicles must be newly procured, BS-VI/current-emission compliant and compartmentalized/colour-coded; old/new compactors with at least one-year fitness may be used. Keep reserve vehicles and 24/7 availability.
Compactor-based secondary transportation is guaranteed only for a minimum one year and may be extended. BSWML may terminate that component on at least three months' notice after transfer stations develop, with no compactor payment thereafter; primary transportation continues.
Bulk waste and manpower-based street sweeping are excluded, as are waste from chicken/mutton/fish shops and the named major markets. BSWML can nevertheless direct collection of defaulting bulk-generator waste. It may change designated locations, add vehicles at bid rates, reduce scope as its infrastructure comes online, or substitute up to 24.10% of manpower with SHG/PK/rag-picker personnel.
Perform to SWM Rules 2016, applicable MoHUA/CPCB guidance, BBMP SWM bye-laws, State SWM policy, Good Operating Practices, motor-vehicle/emission rules and all labour, safety and environmental laws.
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 electronically only through the Karnataka KPPP portal. Upload Key Submission and Qualification Submission under that marked set; upload the Financial Bid only in its dedicated financial slot. Fax, telex, telegram and email bids are rejected.
All electronic bid documents must be uploaded through KPP with digital signature. Use the prescribed formats, submit complete/unconditional information in English, and do not upload irrelevant technical documents; doing so can disqualify the bidder.
No routine physical-original submission is unambiguously required. The Authority may call for originals after bid opening. Clause 2.12.1 contains stale text requiring a DD for RFP cost at the DGM address, conflicting with online-only/as-per-portal fee language; bidders should obtain written portal clarification.
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.
Only calendar dates changed. Corrigendum 1: submission/opening 09/10 Jun → 30 Jun/01 Jul; C2 → 21/22 Jul; C3 → 10/11 Aug; C4 → 17/18 Aug; C5 → 25/27 Aug; C6 → 29/31 Aug; C7 → 02/03 Sep; C8 → 09 Sep 2026 before 17:00 / 10 Sep 2026 after 17:30. Impact/action: use only the C8 deadline and opening time; pre-bid dates and substantive terms were not amended by these attachments.
Bid receipt closes 09.09.2026 before 17:00; technical bid opens 10.09.2026 after 17:30. Publication remains 27.05.2026, query upload 01.06.2026 before 17:30, pre-bid 02.06.2026 at 15:00, and bid validity at least 180 days from the amended Bid Due Date. No corrigendum attachment changes value, EMD, eligibility, scope or contract conditions.
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.
The original RFP says 17:30 submission/opening timing, while Corrigendum 8 finally fixes submission before 17:00 and opening after 17:30. The latest signed corrigendum prevails: 09.09.2026 before 17:00 and 10.09.2026 after 17:30.
RFP Clause 7 requires bills by the 7th and Schedule C pays 80%/holds 20%; draft agreement Clauses 7.2-7.3 require invoices by the 5th and use 75%/25%. The RFP is tender-specific and later-dated (May 2026) than the generic June 2025 draft agreement, but the executed agreement could import the draft; obtain written confirmation before pricing.
RFP Clause 3.9 says irrevocable BG = 5% of one-year value, renewed annually, valid three months beyond each renewal. Appendix VII says security deposit = 5% of total quoted Contract Price, due within 20 days, valid 30 days beyond contract expiry, with multiple instrument forms. Clause 3.9 is the direct performance-security clause and should govern, but clarification is essential because the cash exposure differs materially.
Clause 2.11.2 calls Technical Capacity 'Appendix IV' and Financial Capacity 'Appendix V', but the printed forms and responsiveness clause identify Technical Capacity as Appendix III and Financial Capacity as Appendix IV; Appendix V is Anti-Collusion. Use the printed Appendix III/IV/V forms and seek portal confirmation to avoid rejection.
Invitation says tender cost is as per e-Portal and transaction fee is remitted online, but stale Clause 2.12.1 requires a Demand Draft for RFP cost and cites an obsolete 25.03.2026 deadline. The tender-specific invitation and final corrigendum timing prevail; confirm whether any physical DD is actually enabled/required.
The invitation states 84 months and the RFP states seven years, which are equivalent. However, secondary compactor transportation is only a minimum one year and may be withdrawn on three months' notice; it is not guaranteed for the full 84 months.
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.
Will BSWML apply Clause 3.9 (5% of one-year value, annual BG renewal) or Appendix VII (5% of total seven-year Contract Price/security deposit), and what exact validity/claim period and due date apply? This materially changes financing and bid price.
Confirm whether invoices are due by the 5th or 7th and whether monthly release/holdback is 75%/25% or 80%/20%. Also state the maximum verification/payment timeline and treatment of disputed deductions.
Provide final ward boundaries, micro-plan, household/SCE counts, daily stream-wise tonnage, routes, transfer/weighbridge locations and designated processing facilities. Schedule A leaves locations blank and Annexure Chart 2 merely points to BBMP's website, while BSWML can redefine locations; bidders cannot reliably price fuel, trips and capacity without the baseline.
Confirm the exact technical-upload checklist and slots, specifically Appendix III/IV/V mapping, anti-collusion/anti-blacklisting forms, physical fee instrument, and whether any original BG/FDR/DD must reach DGM-1 by a separate deadline.
Confirm the expected compactor period, planned transfer-station COD, minimum guaranteed revenue/early-withdrawal compensation, and treatment of stranded compactor financing if this scope is removed after one year. Current text guarantees only one year and no payment after withdrawal.
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.
Bidder must procure all new primary vehicles and mobilize within 45 days, yet BSWML may reduce quantities/scope as its infrastructure comes online. Compactor revenue is assured only for one year and can cease after three months' notice, creating stranded-asset and financing risk.
BSWML may change disposal locations, direct variations and reduce contract value for Authority-deployed infrastructure. Bid submission waives claims based on incomplete/incorrect tender information, compensation, lost profit or time extension. This shifts route, tonnage and cost risk to the operator.
Schedule C holds back 20% and allows penalties beyond the holdback to roll into later invoices. Examples include 0.1% monthly fee per day for coverage/transport failure, Rs.50,000 plus police action for unauthorized dumping/burning, Rs.10,000 per vehicle/day for compliance failure and Rs.20,000/day for non-performance. Penalties above 20% of Service Fee for three consecutive months or five months in 12 trigger default.
Three continuous days of non-performance may lead to performance-security seizure and immediate termination. ESI/PF non-payment, abrupt discontinuation, strikes/agitation or unrest can also trigger immediate termination; provider-default termination pays no compensation and forfeits security.
Only fuel/energy and minimum wages are adjustable; vehicle rental and comprehensive maintenance never escalate. Monthly payment depends on digital evidence, statutory remittances and subjective field/citizen/KPI inputs. Conflicting 75/25 vs 80/20 terms and no firm payment deadline heighten working-capital risk.
Provider bears permits, labour, comprehensive vehicle/third-party/workmen insurance and indemnity. If BSWML substitutes another agency after service failure, double the actual/incidental cost is recoverable; property damage may likewise be repaired at double cost. Subcontracting is prohibited.
Disputes go first to CEO BSWML and then appeal to MD BSWML, whose decision is stated final and binding, while performance must continue pending decision. Bengaluru courts have jurisdiction under the draft agreement.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
