All important dates as they stand after corrigenda: publication, pre-bid/clarification deadline, bid submission deadline, bid opening, and bid validity period.
Bid documents are available for download from 15.07.2026 to 30.07.2026, 3.00 PM.
Last date and time for online bid submission is 30.07.2026, 3.00 PM (e-submission only).
Bids open on 30.07.2026 at 4.00 PM at Aringar Anna Maligai, Madurai Corporation, Madurai-2.
Bids must remain valid for not less than 90 days from the date of opening of the Technical Bid.
A pre-bid meeting may be held at Madurai (date/time not fixed in the documents); online clarifications must be sought earlier than 10 days before the bid submission deadline; questions for the meeting should reach at least one week before the meeting.
Successful contractor must commence within 30 days of tender acceptance; completion is stated only as 'Three/Six/Nine months' without selecting one period.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
Tender put value is Rs. 88,50,000/- (Rs. 88.50 lakh), stated as including GST in the NIT/BOQ descriptions.
EMD is Rs. 88,500/- (1% of tender put value). Any bid without bid security is non-responsive; no interest is paid on EMD.
No tender document fee / cost of tender is stated in the NIT or tender document.
A performance security is required from the successful bidder (return of EMD is conditional on it), but the percentage/amount, form and validity are not quantified in the tender pack.
Quotes are in Indian Rupees for the whole work BOQ; GST treatment is inconsistently described; payment is against Engineer certificates under the agreement form.
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.
Bidder must be a legally registered entity (Company, LLP, Partnership or Proprietorship).
Average annual turnover over FY 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25 must be at least 2 times the tender value (i.e. at least Rs. 1,77,00,000 based on Rs. 88,50,000 tender put value).
Bidder/manufacturer must be the technology designer and manufacturer of the Robot, or hold OEM authorization for reselling.
Bidder/manufacturer must have a work order of similar nature; non-manufacturers need OEM resale authorization for the offered robot/equipment.
Bidder must not be debarred/blacklisted by any State/Central Government/PSU as on bid submission date; poor performance history in last 5 years or false representation can disqualify even if other criteria are met.
Equipment manufacturer must be ISO certified with experience manufacturing similar robotics machines.
Last 3 years ITR acknowledgements (2022-23, 2023-24 & 2024-25) with PAN card photocopy must be enclosed.
Bidder must have a full-fledged service facility in Tamil Nadu with service technicians for sales service and spare parts.
Manufacturer/authorized dealer must be GST registered.
Bidder must submit a detailed TDS or QAP meeting mandatory robotic cleaning system features listed in Annexure 1.1 item 10 / Annexure 1.2.
No consortium or joint-venture rules are stated; qualification criteria are framed for 'each bidder' / manufacturer or authorized reseller only.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Supply of 1 No. Robotic Cleaning System integrating a 2KL suction system mounted on an LCV pickup vehicle chassis for Madurai Corporation (manhole/robotic machine-hole cleaning).
Procurement is by Madurai City Municipal Corporation for use under Madurai Corporation; bid opening/office location is Aringar Anna Maligai, Tallakulam, Madurai-2.
Annexure 1.2 sets minimum specs for the robotic desilting unit, control system and 2000-litre vehicle-mounted suction system.
Commence within 30 days of tender acceptance; complete within Three/Six/Nine months (period not singled out).
Only compliant offers to the basic technical design/specification are allowed; alternative proposals will not be considered.
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.
Bids are submitted only online on https://tntenders.gov.in / www.tntenders.gov.in using a valid DSC/e-token; offline bids are summarily rejected.
Two-cover e-submission: Part I Technical bid (eligibility documents, bid security and certificates) and Part II Price bid only; no rates in Part I.
All bid documents must be digitally signed; BOQ template must not be modified—only bidder name and values entered—and schedule-wise amounts carried to the BoQ sheet.
EMD must accompany the bid; documents require online/e-submission of EMD, while one instruction also says original EMD may be posted/couriered/given in person by bid submission deadline.
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.
The operative deadline is 30.07.2026, 3.00 PM (NIT + tender data sheet), but Clause 12 still prints 24.12.2025, 3.00 P.M.
One instruction requires physical original EMD by post/courier/in person, while other clauses require e-submission/online EMD and reject bids without online EMD at opening.
Error-correction clauses take the lower/lesser of figures and words, but the BOQ notes say rates in words govern.
BOQ/A-Schedule describe the item as Including/Incl. GST, while evaluation says basic price is exclusive of GST and the system adds 18% GST.
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 the Employer to specify whether contract completion is 3, 6 or 9 months, as the agreement form leaves all three options open.
Seek written confirmation of acceptable EMD form and whether any physical original is still required in addition to online payment.
Request the percentage/amount, form (BG/DD/online), claim period and deadline for performance security, which is required but not quantified.
Ask whether bidders should enter GST-inclusive rates in BOQ or basic rates exclusive of GST with 18% system addition.
Request the exact pre-bid date/time/venue, and confirm whether the LCV chassis/vehicle itself must be supplied (make TATA/Ashok Leyland or equivalent BS6) or only the mounted systems on a buyer-provided vehicle.
Ask for warranty/defect-liability period, spare-parts support obligations and liquidated-damages/penalty rates, which are not set out in the issued pack.
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.
Time is essence of contract, but completion is left as Three/Six/Nine months and no LD percentage is printed—delay risk is hard to price.
EMD can be forfeited for withdrawal/modification during validity, non-acceptance of corrections, failure to furnish performance security or sign agreement; withdrawal after submission is prohibited.
If bid is seriously unbalanced, Employer may demand increased security deposit/performance security at sole discretion, final and binding.
Engineer's decisions on specifications/quality are final and non-arbitrable; claims above Rs. 50,000 go to civil court, not arbitration; work must continue despite disputes.
Strict robot TDS/QAP features, ISO OEM requirement, 2× turnover, similar-work proof and Tamil Nadu service facility create pass/fail rejection risk if evidence is incomplete.
No advance/milestone schedule is given; payment depends on Engineer certificates with lawful deductions; performance security amount is blank—working-capital risk.
Conflicting dates, EMD mode and GST basis plus only about 15 days from publish/download start (15.07.2026) to submission (30.07.2026) raise compliance and pricing risk.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
The Commissioner, Madurai Corporation, Aringar Anna Maligai, Tallakulam, Madurai-2 invites and opens bids.
