Tender No. SAC/APUR/SA202600054201 is dated 10-08-2026.
Online bid submission opens 10-08-2026 16:22 and closes 10-09-2026 11:00.
Bid Clarification Due Date is 13-08-2026 17:30 via the New EGPS clarification window only.
Techno-commercial bid opening is 10-09-2026 11:05; price bid opening is indicated as 31-10-2026 17:30.
For this two-part tender: Part-1 valid 120 days from bid opening; Part-2 valid 90 days from price bid opening.
Work must be completed within 90 days from receipt of Purchase Order.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
No tender value, estimated cost or BOQ amounts are stated in the available documents.
Documents do not prescribe any EMD/bid security amount or tender document fee.
Quotes must be in INR only; taxes/duties must be distinctly shown.
Successful bidder must furnish 3% Performance Security within 15 days of PO/Contract receipt, valid 60 days beyond contractual obligations including warranty.
Scope requires payment only after successful installation, commissioning and demonstration; GTC default is 100% within 30 days of receipt, installation and acceptance.
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.
Bidders from countries sharing a land border with India may bid only if registered with the Competent Authority under Public Procurement Order No.3 dated 23 July 2020 (as amended).
Documents do not prescribe past-experience, turnover, net-worth or similar financial qualification minima.
Class-I (>=50% local content), Class-II (20% to <50%) and Non-Local (<20%) definitions apply; local content is to be declared and preference claims need valid registration certificates.
Either the Indian agent or the Principal/OEM may bid for the same item, but not both; one Indian agent cannot bid for two Principals/OEMs for the same item in this tender.
Offers must conform to scope/specs; any price figure in Part-1 techno-commercial bid causes rejection.
Consortium/JV is recognised in bidder definitions and land-border rules, but no equity caps, lead-member rules or explicit blacklisting/debarment eligibility clause is set out.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Design/development of two software-based motion control systems for remote control/automation of SAC's existing vertical linear motion systems (antenna/payload movers), plus installation, commissioning and demonstration.
Both slides already have motors, gears, encoders and electronics; motors/gears/encoders must not be changed, and vendor may reuse existing SMPS, drive and VFD.
Each controller is to be built in a 19-inch 4U chassis with HMI, front-panel controls, emergency stop, and local handheld remote units on long cables.
Vendor must demonstrate remote-PC control and supply LabVIEW 2018-compatible source VIs plus I/O register addresses in Excel.
90 days from PO receipt; 1-year operational warranty after installation & commissioning; L1 on complete requirement; payment after full successful demonstration.
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 to be submitted online; clarifications only through the New EGPS clarification window.
Part-1 techno-commercial bid and Part-2 price bid; any price content in Part-1 leads to rejection.
Documents do not specify DSC class, wet-ink signing, attestation/notarisation or any physical original submission requirement for the bid.
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 workspace contains only the original tender PDF and duplicate Scope of Work PDFs; no corrigendum, addendum or pre-bid reply document is present.
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.
Introduction and system titles pair System-1 with 3.5 m and System-2 with 4.5 m, but §4 mechanical specs reverse this to System-1 = 4.5 m and System-2 = 3.5 m.
GTC caps liquidated damages at 10% of the value of delayed goods, while the commercial terms template caps LD at 10% of the PO value.
Tender schedule sets Bid Clarification Due Date as 13-08-2026 17:30, while GTC says clarifications must not be within 7 days of bid closing (which would be around 03-09-2026).
Scope ties 1-year warranty to completion of installation & commissioning; commercial terms and GTC use receipt/installation/acceptance language.
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 SAC to definitively map travel range, proximity-switch arrangement and remote-cable length to System-1 and System-2.
Commercial terms list both Performance Security (3%) and a separate Security Deposit row with no amount/form/validity—request clarification whether any bid/contract security beyond 3% PS applies.
Clarify exactly which existing electronics remain CFE versus vendor-supplied new controller content, and whether HMI/I-O modules/motion controller must be newly supplied or may be reused.
Confirm remote-PC communication protocol/network topology, expected LabVIEW VI packaging, ownership/use rights in delivered source code, and whether SAC's pre-installed LabVIEW 2018 includes required toolkits/drivers.
Request written confirmation whether LD ceiling is 10% of delayed goods value or 10% of full PO value, and that payment is single milestone only after full demonstration with no intermediate billing.
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.
Design, build two 4U controllers, LabVIEW software, install/commission and demonstrate three control modes within 90 days of PO—delay exposes LD and possible default/risk purchase.
LD at 0.5% of delayed value per week (cap 10%—base disputed) plus risk-purchase of additional cost if vendor defaults.
No progress payment is promised—Scope pays only after full successful demonstration—while 3% PS remains locked through warranty plus 60 days.
Vendor cannot change motors, gears or encoders and must make both dissimilar existing systems work with HMI, handheld remote and LabVIEW remote control.
Counter-terms are not accepted unless specifically agreed in writing; purchaser may accept part quantity (±25%), enter parallel contracts, and reject non-viable prices.
Price leakage into Part-1, missing land-border/local-content declarations, or non-compliance can eliminate an otherwise competitive offer.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
