The issued EOI documents do not specify an EOI/bid opening date or any bid-validity period. The later Stage-2 tender will be published separately on GeM.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
The AI found nothing to report for this question.
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.
EOI is invited from reputed/established Indian firms. The bidder must have turnkey experience in design, fabrication, supply, erection and commissioning of special-purpose customized chemical equipment/items, with expertise supplying such equipment to reputed hazardous-chemical and explosives manufacturers.
At least one qualifying turnkey project for special-purpose customized chemical equipment/item or similar equipment/item must have been successfully completed during the 15 years ending 31.03.2026, supported by documentary evidence.
Instead of possessing the stated experience itself, a bidder may rely on a design, supply, erection, commissioning and after-sales-service collaboration agreement with an Indian or foreign company that meets the experience criterion. The EOI also calls for the collaboration/JV agreement and a sworn affidavit for the MoU on non-judicial stamp paper.
Audited Balance Sheets and Profit & Loss statements for the last three years ending 31.03.2025 are mandatory, and Annexure B asks for a statutory-auditor-certified three-year turnover/net-worth statement. No minimum turnover or net-worth threshold is stated.
Submit GST registration, PAN and Certificate of Incorporation/CIN; submit MSME certificate if applicable. The application must state organization type, manufacturing facilities and manpower.
The bidder must provide an affidavit that it has never been banned by any Government of India organization. HEF additionally reserves a discretionary right to disqualify any bidder at any stage on national-security grounds.
A vendor intending to participate in the later Open Tender Enquiry must be registered as a seller on GeM. Shortlisted EOI firms' commercial eligibility/credentials will not be re-verified at Stage 2, while new vendors will undergo verification.
Failure to furnish the eligibility evidence listed in Annexure A makes the EOI incomplete and liable to rejection; only firms fulfilling the criteria will be considered.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Design, fabricate, supply, erect, install and commission an electrically operated semi-automated process for CE wet-grain crushing, sieving, vacuum drying/filtration and collection in Building No. 52, CE Section, High Explosives Factory, Khadki, Pune.
The system must produce enough wet CE dust to generate 01(one) ton dry CE dust in 4 to 4.5 hrs. Minimum slurry batch is 177 Lit. water plus 250kg CE grain (41.45% water/58.55% CE); retention on the 120 BSS sieve must not exceed 5.0 kg per batch.
Supply includes a minimum 600 L SS304 slurry vessel, minimum 200 L SS304 gauge pot, CF8 alloy-steel crusher/disc mill, SS304 vibro-sieve body with brass 120 BSS sieve, SS304 vacuum arrangement, aluminium material-transfer lines/arrangements, water/vacuum pumps and controls. Rated supply is 415 V, 3-phase, 50 Hz and total power is stated as 7 kW.
Water charging, slurry preparation/transfer, crushing, sieving and transfer to vacuum filtration/trays are to be automated; CE grain loading and replacement of filled aluminium trays remain manual. HEF supplies process air only up to 4 kg/cm²; any compressor needed above that pressure is supplier scope.
Supplier scope includes demolition/dismantling of existing blocks, foundations, floor and walls as site requires; shifting debris about 1.5 km; contaminated-water dewatering; soling/murrum, RCC, reinforcement, shuttering, curing, plaster and painting. The supplier must also dismantle and relocate the existing process to the place assigned by HEF.
All electrical parts must be flameproof; drives are IP55 FLP, electrical starters/motors require CIMFR Dhanbad certification, installations are outside the Building 52 room, and sensors must be compatible with TETRYL (CE). Equipment/vessel welding must be TIG, dye-penetrant tested and ground smooth; welding is prohibited inside the building.
At HEF, vessels undergo water leak/hydrostatic tests (three days for slurry vessel/gauge pot before installation; tanks 48 hours). After erection, the system must pass intended-use testing and then run successfully for 15 working days. Warranty is 12 months from commissioning with free repair/replacement at HEF, and 12 months of mandatory spares must accompany the equipment.
No overall design, supply, erection or commissioning completion period is specified in the issued EOI documents.
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 the EOI online to High Explosives Factory through the CPPP/eProcurement stage in the Annexure B format by 18:00 hrs on 22.09.2026. The notice identifies Stage 1 as CPPP and Stage 2 as a later GeM OTE.
Annexure B also says the 'envelope containing the EOI' must carry the EOI number and date, despite calling for online submission. No physical-original requirement, delivery deadline/address for a physical envelope, cover split, or bidder digital-signature class is stated; seek confirmation before submission.
Annexures B and C provide fields for place, date, full name, designation/status, signature, and company stamp/seal. A general power of attorney is required if the signatory is not the owner/head.
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 NIT and Annexure A identify the governing draft as Specification No. 42/RR-DU/CE/2020 dated 03.02.2020, but the attached specification's own title page says No. 41/RR-DU/CE/2020 of the same date. Because no corrigendum resolves this, bidders should obtain written confirmation that the attached five-page specification is the intended scope before pricing/design work.
Annexure B directs an online EOI application but immediately requires the 'envelope containing the EOI' to be marked with the EOI number/date. The NIT labels Stage 1 as CPPP and provides no physical-delivery instruction. Online CPPP submission is the more specific process stated, but the envelope sentence remains unresolved and should be clarified.
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 the attached Specification No. 41/RR-DU/CE/2020 is the intended document despite every EOI cross-reference naming No. 42/RR-DU/CE/2020, and issue the correct/revised specification if not.
Is Stage-1 submission exclusively an online CPPP upload? If a physical envelope/original affidavits are also required, specify the exact contents, recipient/address and receipt deadline, and confirm required digital-signature and file-signing rules.
Confirm whether a formal JV bid is eligible or only a prime bidder with a qualifying collaborator; state member limits, lead-member role, joint/several liability, credential attribution and the required legal form/content of the agreement and sworn MoU affidavit.
Before firms commit to Stage 2, disclose the estimated project value, delivery/commissioning period, EMD/performance-security framework, payment milestones, taxes, LD and acceptance-linked payment terms; none is fixed at EOI stage and the EOI expressly carries no financial commitment.
Provide approved layout/drawings, measurable civil-work quantities, demolition inventory, contaminated-water handling/disposal protocol, permitted working hours and utility tie-in points. Current civil obligations are entirely 'as required at site', which prevents reliable pricing.
Confirm whether the stated 7 kW total-power limit includes a supplier-provided compressor, define actual air demand/duty, hazardous-area classification, acceptable certification (CIMFR versus ATEX), and whether all sensors/electrical components need TETRYL-specific compatibility evidence.
Specify CE feed properties and test quantity, output moisture/quality acceptance limits, continuous-run protocol, downtime/restart treatment and who supplies/handles explosive material during the 15-working-day performance run.
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.
HEF is not obliged to shortlist anyone and may withdraw, vary or foreclose the procurement at any stage without financial commitment; bidders bear all proposal preparation/submission costs.
No tender value, EMD/bid security, performance security, payment terms, LD, taxes or contract completion period appears in the issued EOI. The binding commercial package will arise only in the later GeM OTE, creating a current bid/no-bid and pricing-information gap.
Demolition, foundations, flooring, walls, dewatering and reconstruction are required according to site need without drawings or quantities. Debris must be shifted about 1.5 km and contaminated water dewatered, leaving substantial quantity, safety and disposal risk with the supplier.
Work involves CE/TETRYL in HEF. Supplier personnel must follow later-issued Safety Section guidelines, carry medical certificates and PVRs, and welding inside the building is prohibited. National-security disqualification may occur at any stage.
Supplier bears all labour, tools, tackles, forklift, hoist, transport consumables, dismantling/relocation and any compressor needed above HEF's 4 kg/cm² air supply. These interfaces should be surveyed before firm pricing.
Acceptance includes multi-day leak/hydro tests and a successful 15-working-day operating run after commissioning, but failure/retest rules are not defined. The supplier must repair or replace warranty defects free of cost at HEF for 12 months from commissioning and supply 12 months of mandatory spares.
Information identified as proprietary cannot be disclosed to third parties without prior written consent; bidders using collaborators/subcontractors should secure an approved information-sharing route.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
Chief General Manager, High Explosives Factory, Near Holkar Bridge, Khadki, Pune 411003. The notice is signed by A. Chakraborty, Chief General Manager/AC. No separate physical-submission address is specified.
