90% basic (incl. P&F) + 100% taxes after supply, demonstration, training and mock-up qualification at NPCIL; balance 10% after supplier supervision of deployment on one SG at NPCIL site; GeM payment timeline 10 days of CRAC/online bills is superseded for process but ATC milestones govern entitlement.
MSE purchase preference Yes (L1+15%, up to 100% quantity); MII Class-I/Class-II only (min local content 50%/20%); Non-Local suppliers not eligible except eligible MSEs.
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 may be private/limited/PSU/govt/JV (incorporated)/proprietorship/partnership or other legal entity having manufacturing facility in India; unincorporated JV/Consortium bids are not permitted.
Only Class-I and Class-II local suppliers may bid; Non-Local suppliers are ineligible (eligible MSEs still allowed to participate per MII/MSE concurrent rules).
In-house CNC/portable machining, 750 CFM @ ≥7 bar pneumatics, 5m×5m×14m headroom workshop, ISNT Level-II ECT×2 and UT×2 QA staff, and valid ISO 9001:2015 QA setup are mandatory as of last date of month previous to tender sale/download start.

Average annual turnover ≥ ₹15.75 Crore over FY 2023-24, 2024-25, 2025-26; plus any one of Solvency / Net Worth / Credit Rating / Line of Credit ≥ ₹10.5 Crore (or Investment Grade for long-term credit).
In-house design & engineering team (min 2 graduate Mechanical + 2 graduate Electrical/Electronics/Automation, each with ≥3 years experience) and covered shed ≥100 m² with ≥5 MT EOT crane (valid load test) are also required.
QR supporting documents must be digitally signed and verified by Independent Statutory Auditor or specified NABCB Type ‘A’ TPIA, with authenticity undertaking (Annexure-I/III formats).
Integrity Pact acceptance is mandatory; only one bid per bidder (GeM GTC 29); land-border bidders need Competent Authority registration; banned/allied firms and banned JV partners are ineligible.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
1 set — Design, Development, Engineering, Manufacturing, Assembly, Inspection & Testing, Functional Qualification, Training, Demonstration on actual SG, Packing and Delivery of Steam Generator Tube Cleaning and Inspection System (SG-TCIS) for 220 MWe PHWRs.
Full SG-TCIS package with dual manipulators (2 supply + 2 spare), grit-blast train, inspection pusher-pullers, controls, mock-up, qualified grit for 2 SGs, spares for 4 SGs, manuals, history docket and training.
Primary GeM consignee is Kaiga Generating Station (PO: Kaiga, Uttara Kannada, Karnataka-581400); technical scope also allows delivery/deployment at NAPS / KGS / RAPP and first demonstration under supplier supervision on an actual 220 MWe PHWR SG.
Contractual delivery 546 days from PO; Defect Liability Period 12 months from successful deployment at NPCIL site; latent defects remedy for further 5 years after DLP.
System designed to ASTM/ASME/IS and NPCIL NDT procedures; grit blasting in recirculation mode with Al2O3 grit and SS balls; ECT inspection; no leakage/contamination acceptable.
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.
Two Packet Bid on GeM portal (online upload); Bid to RA disabled; total-value-wise evaluation.
QR documents must be digitally signed and verified by Independent Statutory Auditor or NABCB Type A TPIA; financial certificates need CA seal/membership/UDIN.
Hard copy of EMD instrument (DD/FDR/BG) must reach Buyer within 5 working days of Bid End date / Bid Opening date; pre-bid queries also in hard copy plus soft editable copy.
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 downloaded tender set contains no corrigendum or addendum PDF, and no amendment of dates, amounts or clauses beyond the base GeM bid dated 30-07-2026.
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 consignee table lists only Kaiga GS for the single set, while technical specification scope allows delivery at NAPS/KGS/RAPP.
Bid Details set Arbitration Clause and Mediation Clause to No, yet ATC Clause 31 provides a full three-arbitrator mechanism and Annexure-Y requires acceptance of that arbitration clause.
QR narrative and printed forms number Financial Data/Solvency/Net Worth as Annexures 4/5/6, but the Annexure-IV checklist table on p.16 cites Annexures 3/4/5 for the same items.
Annexure-Y asks acceptance of Defect Liability as GTC Clause 22 and Terms of Payment as GTC Clause 21, but the operative special payment and DLP texts are ATC Clauses 21 and 22.
Annexure-Y header shows GeM Bid No. GEM/2025/B/7725458 while the bid and other annexures use GEM/2026/B/7725458.
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 NPCIL to confirm whether DAP delivery and first supervised deployment are fixed at Kaiga only, or bidder must price multi-site delivery to NAPS/KGS/RAPP as in the technical specification.
QR bars unincorporated JV/consortium; seek whether an Indian manufacturer may still bid with a foreign technology collaborator/subcontractor (and how experience/local content will be counted).
Request the numerical de-minimis threshold and documentation standard for US-origin content, since ATC only states imports must not exceed de-minimis without defining the percentage.
B1 requires any single completed order ≥ ₹8.4 Cr without stating similarity to SG-TCIS; confirm whether nuclear/SG/robotic cleaning experience is mandatory or any completed order of that value qualifies.
Clarify tenure, claim period and release conditions of Retention BG for the withheld 10%, and whether DLP clock starts from mock-up or only after actual deployment.
Seek a cap or variation mechanism for qualification trials beyond ~100 and for 'minor changes' required after mock-up/actual SG demo, both currently at supplier cost with no upper bound.
Ask NPCIL to reconcile Bid Details 'Arbitration Clause: No' with ATC Clause 31 and Annexure-Y mandatory acceptance of arbitration.
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.
LD @ 0.5% of contract value of delayed quantity per week (or part) up to 5% normally, and up to 10% for inordinate delay (>25% of completion period).
Only after mock-up qualification/training does 90% become due; final 10% waits for actual SG deployment supervision, with Retention BG only after a full year of site non-availability.
ePBG 5% for 33 months; IP security rides on EMD then PBG through DLP or 12 months after final payment; latent defects must be remedied for 5 years after DLP.
About 100 qualification trials may increase without limit 'as per NPCIL requirement'; minor changes after mock-up/actual SG work are free of cost.
Heavy in-house machine tools, 750 CFM pneumatics, 14 m headroom bay, certified NDT staff, design team and 5 MT crane are pass/fail; MSE/Startup experience & turnover relaxations are Off.
Inspector’s rejection decision is final; Purchaser may buy elsewhere or terminate and recover damages; no subcontract/assignment without prior written consent; IPR in contract-created documents vests in Purchaser.
IP breach forfeits EMD/PBG; bid withdrawal within validity or non-acceptance of PO/PBG triggers 2-year NPCIL tender ban under Bid Security Declaration; false IBC declaration also risks EMD forfeiture and holiday listing.
For PHWR package NPCIL assumes 'supplier' role under CLND Rules for Section 17(a)/(b), but confidentiality obligations and site nuclear work controls still apply to contractor personnel.
Purchaser may vary ordered quantity by up to 25% at placement and increase up to 25% during currency at contracted firm DAP rates inclusive of freight/insurance/GST interactions.
