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.
GeM bid header states minimum average annual turnover of 15 Lakh, while Qualifying Criteria require Rs. 15.74 Lakh. Buyer ATC says attached documents prevail over GeM T&C on discrepancy—apply Rs. 15.74 Lakh unless buyer clarifies.
GeM Payment Timelines: 45 days from SDAC and online bill submission. Attached Payment Terms / Conditions of Contract: 30 days from bill submission subject to EIC acceptance. ATC: attached documents prevail.
QUAL Criteria test similar works over preceding 7 years (with 40/50/80% of estimated value). GeM Buyer Additional Specification 10 restates the same 40/50/80% tests but over the last three years (current FY + last three FYs). Both also require 7 years of past experience in the GeM header/spec 6. Seek clarification which window governs the value tests.
ITB compensation clause requires 2 Highly Skilled + 2 Skilled + 2 Semi Skilled + 10 Unskilled (=14). BOQ Annexure-A and manpower details show only 4 Skilled + 10 Un-Skilled (=14), with HS/SS wage columns zeroed. Affects staffing, wages and shortfall recoveries.

GeM bid details set Arbitration Clause: No (and Mediation Clause: No). Conditions of Contract clause 28 provide amicable settlement and arbitration machinery. ATC says attached documents prevail on discrepancy with GeM T&C—contract dispute route needs confirmation.
GeM ePBG duration is 15 months. Conditions of Contract require PS valid till one month beyond the 12-month Contract period (effectively ~13 months), extendable as needed. Align instrument validity to the stricter/buyer-accepted period at award.
GeM Beneficiary block names NHPC Limited Corporate Office, Sector-33, Faridabad. Buyer DD instructions: NHPC Ltd payable at SBI Siliguri. QUAL EMD: NHPC Ltd., payable at SBI Hill Cart Road, Siliguri; BG online confirmation beneficiary NHPC Ltd., TLD-IV PS. Use instrument text that matches the chosen form and obtain buyer confirmation if bank rejects mismatched beneficiary wording.
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.
Please confirm whether minimum average annual turnover is Rs. 15 Lakh (GeM header) or Rs. 15.74 Lakh (Qualifying Criteria), and which documents will be used at evaluation.
Does the 40%/50%/80% similar-work value test apply over preceding 7 years (QC) or over the last three years (GeM Additional Specification 10)?
Which manpower mix is binding for deployment and shortfall recovery: BOQ 4 Skilled + 10 Unskilled, or ITB 2 Highly Skilled + 2 Skilled + 2 Semi Skilled + 10 Unskilled?
What exact documents prove Darjeeling District Local status (e.g., domicile/voter ID/residential certificate), and is any format prescribed beyond Tehsildar-and-above certificate for PAFs?
Which payment timeline governs monthly bills—30 days (Payment Terms) or 45 days from SDAC (GeM)? Is arbitration available despite GeM Arbitration Clause = No?
Please confirm exact beneficiary name/payable-at for DD/BG/Surety Bond and the physical address/official to receive hardcopy EMD instruments within 5 days.
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.
Participation is closed to PAFs & Darjeeling District locals only, with one-bidder-per-PAF and a 4-live-order cap at TLD-IV. Non-local national vendors are ineligible regardless of capability.
Short deployment of the minimum 14 staff attracts recovery at 1.5× prevailing minimum wages per head per day by category. Delay/negligence in attending complaints also attracts 1.5× minimum wages per day from bills.
Non-submission of PS without valid reason can trigger 12% interest, RA-bill deductions, and if not submitted within 45 days of LOA: award termination, EMD forfeiture, 1-year ban from NHPC business and ineligibility for re-tender of this work.
Cannot quote below Rs. 45,63,358 floor built on minimum wages + 3.85% service charge. Competitiveness is only on extra CPOH + consumables + PPE. Wage/EPF/ESIC revisions are reimbursable, but cash-flow depends on monthly bill certification and statutory proofs.
EIC may withhold monthly bills if bank salary proof, EPF/ESI deposits or other statutory compliances are not produced. Contractor must still pay workers by the 7th; NHPC may pay workers directly and recover with 15% overheads if contractor defaults.
Employer may set off claims against any sums under this or other contracts/security deposit; post-payment audit recovery for 2 years after final bill; termination for unsatisfactory performance with work at contractor risk and cost; Employer may take over part/full contract without assigning reason.
Buyer can vary quantity/duration up to 50%. Bids sharing matching/common IP with other bidders or buyer are outrightly rejected—shared office networks/cyber cafes are a bid-failure risk.
Integrity Pact applies with IEMs; violations can lead to EMD/PS forfeiture, suspension/banning under NHPC guidelines, and other sanctions. Bid documents of participants are visible to other bidders.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
