All important dates as they stand after corrigenda: publication, pre-bid/clarification deadline, bid submission deadline, bid opening, and bid validity period.
Published on 06/07/2026 at 13:57 (time as printed in the tender).
No pre-bid conference is required; no separate clarification deadline is specified.
Electronic bids close on 27/07/2026 at 11:30 hours.
The documents do not state a separate bid-opening date or time.
Offer validity is strictly 90 calendar days from the date of tender opening; a shorter validity is commercially unresponsive and liable to summary rejection.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
No estimated tender value or item rate is disclosed in the tender schedule.
Tender document cost is INR 0.00 and EMD shown in the tender header is INR 0.00. This tender-specific amount governs despite the generic EMD compliance text elsewhere in the NIT.
The PAC OEM is exempt from SD. Otherwise, stores contracts up to Rs 25 lakh are exempt; above Rs 25 lakh up to Rs 50 crore SD is 5% of contract value capped at Rs 50 lakh, and above Rs 50 crore SD is Rs 1 crore. SD is due within 21 days of acceptance and must remain valid at least 60 days beyond completion of all obligations including warranty.
Either 100% after inspection certificate, e-way receipted challan, acceptance and CRN; or 95% against the receipted challan countersigned by the consignee Gazetted Officer plus inspection certificate, with 5% after acceptance and CRN.
Bills are normally paid online through NEFT; suppliers must provide the NEFT mandate and supporting bank particulars. Eligible contracts of estimated value Rs 10 lakh or above may opt for sight LC at bid stage, with 0.15% LC incidental cost borne by the supplier.
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.
Only Class-I local suppliers are eligible. The standard threshold is minimum 50% local content; imported products cannot qualify by counting transport, insurance, installation, training or after-sales service as local value addition.
Manufacturers are preferred. A trader or agent must upload a tender-specific authorization issued by the OEM, OEM-authorized stockist, or OEM Indian office; omission makes the offer liable to be ignored/passed over.
For the same item, either the OEM or its authorized agent may bid, not both; an OEM must not authorize more than one agent, and one agent must not bid for multiple OEMs for the same item. Violating agent bids are liable to rejection.
Because the NIT says procurement is not restricted to approved sources, the no-approved-vendor-list rule applies: regular bulk ordering normally requires the manufacturer/principal to have satisfactorily executed at least one Zonal Railway/PU/CORE purchase order for the tendered (or tender-defined similar) item equal to at least 20% of total tendered quantity during the preceding three years. New sources may be considered for developmental quantity based on demonstrated capacity-cum-capability.
Unregistered/unapproved bidders must demonstrate established manufacturing experience, technical knowledge, adequate plant/manufacturing capacity, quality control, financial stability, and ability to meet the three-month delivery. A recognized-bank/financial-institution report and last three years' balance sheets and profit/loss statements are required; no numeric turnover or net-worth threshold is stated.
A bidder from a country sharing a land border with India is eligible only if registered with the competent authority; evidence of valid registration must be attached where applicable. The rule also captures an agent and any consortium/JV having such a member.
The bidder and its constituents must not be blacklisted or debarred by Railways or any Government of India ministry/department on bid submission. False/forged qualification certification can cause summary rejection, EMD forfeiture, contract termination, SD forfeiture and business banning up to two years.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Supply 25 sets of spares for CUTOGEN 5 and pressure regulator. Each set comprises 15 line items totaling 31 numbers, in accordance with Revised Sketch No. ELW/BSL/SK. No. 1014 Alt 3.
Deliver FOR destination to DY CMM (ACL), BSL, Central Railway, Maharashtra, completing all supplies within 3 months.
The item permits ±5% quantity tolerance and total PO value variation up to a maximum of Rs 8 lakhs. The purchaser also reserves a contractual option to order additional quantities for any Central Railway division/construction unit and consignee.
Inspection agency is TPI; stage inspection is not required, but pre-dispatch TPI applies unless the purchase order/tender schedule states otherwise. Warranty is 30 months after delivery.
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 only an electronic, single-packet bid on IREPS by the deadline. Manual offers by post, fax or in person are invalid; no physical bid originals are requested.
Encrypt and digitally sign the online offer using the bidder's Digital Signature Certificate. The digital signature confirms acceptance of the tender conditions unless a deviation is entered in the IREPS techno-commercial field; provide the authorized representative's digital-signature details, name and user ID.
Complete all mandatory techno-commercial and financial fields. Enter make/brand, HSN and GST rate, local-content percentage and local-value-addition locations; quote rate and all price elements only in the designated financial fields on FOR-destination basis.
Self-attest credential copies where the clauses require it. The bidder's digital certification confirms all submitted information/documents are correct and that all tender pages/conditions are accepted; the Railway master copy prevails over any altered download.
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 header fixes EMD at INR 0.00, but the same NIT's generic compliance clause says EMD is compulsory and bids without EMD will be rejected. The tender-specific numeric schedule prevails, reinforced by the PAC OEM exemption; bidders other than the PAC OEM should seek portal clarification if IREPS nevertheless prompts for an exemption declaration.
Annexure 1/checklist calls for a signed deviations statement, but the tender-specific NIT says deviations stated anywhere other than the relevant online column—including uploaded documents—will be ignored. The NIT's specific submission rule prevails: enter every deviation in the designated IREPS field; the annexure may be uploaded only as supporting/nil-deviation confirmation.
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.
Identify the OEM in whose favour the PAC is issued and confirm whether bids from other manufacturers/equivalent makes are admissible. The NIT is PAC-Indigenous yet says procurement is not from approved sources and allows traders with tender-specific OEM authorization, leaving the exact proprietary eligibility boundary unclear.
Confirm that no payment instrument is required because the header states EMD INR 0.00, and state whether every bidder must still upload Annexure 11 or only the PAC OEM/other exemption claimants. This affects responsiveness.
Provide the exact OEM/ESAB code and technical description for Item 14. The revised sketch's ESAB-code cell appears to repeat ‘IDA 50B Regulator’ instead of a numeric part code, which can materially affect sourcing and price.
Confirm the final inspection plan, tests, certificates and acceptance criteria for all 15 components. The NIT identifies TPI and says stage inspection is not required, while the sketch primarily gives descriptions/codes and the TPI annexure defaults to pre-dispatch inspection.
Disclose the estimated procurement value or confirm the resulting SD bracket and whether the over-Rs-10-crore auditor/CA local-content certificate applies. The tender omits estimated value, yet both obligations depend on value; also confirm whether a non-OEM authorized agent can claim the PAC SD exemption.
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.
All 25 sets are due within 3 months. Delay attracts LD at 0.5% of the price of delayed goods (including taxes, duties and freight) per week or part thereof, capped at 10% of delayed-supply value; the conditions say no LD-waiver request will be considered.
Warranty runs for 30 months after delivery, substantially beyond the three-month supply period; rejection handling and replacement obligations can therefore remain open for an extended period.
Railway initially pays TPI fees, but the supplier bears specified testing/inspection expenses and reimburses TPI charges where goods are rejected, not ready when the inspector visits, or require certificate revalidation/reinspection. Calls may also be rejected if insufficient delivery-period time remains.
For default, Railway may forfeit SD wholly/partly, require replenishment, recover losses from sums due under this or other contracts, and record poor performance. Even where SD is exempt, failure to supply can trigger damages equal to the SD that would otherwise apply.
No advance or progress payment is offered. Payment depends on inspection documentation, receipted e-way challan and consignee acceptance/CRN; the 5% balance remains tied to acceptance and CRN under the 95/5 option.
Price and capacity should allow for ±5% quantity tolerance, up to Rs 8 lakh PO value variation, and possible additional quantities to other Central Railway consignees under the option clause.
Commercial terms or deviations entered outside the designated IREPS fields are ignored. A correctly priced attachment cannot cure a blank or incorrect portal field, creating direct evaluation and contract risk.
