Bid document dated 15-07-2026.
17-07-2026 at 12:00:00, at the Office of the Superintendent, Assam Medical College Hospital, Dibrugarh, 2nd Floor of Administrative Building. Attendance is mandatory for all interested bidders.
28-07-2026 at 11:00:00.
28-07-2026 at 11:30:00.
180 days from the bid end date; extension thereafter requires mutual consent.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
INR 1,65,00,000 (INR 16,500,000), inclusive of all taxes; it is stated to be approximate/guidance for EMD and eligibility and not a pricing benchmark.
INR 8,25,000 in favour of Superintendent, AMCH, Dibrugarh. Bid security must remain valid 45 days beyond the 180-day bid validity (i.e. 225 days from bid end, unless bid validity is extended).
ePBG is 5.00% of contract value. The bid says 12 months, while GTC requires validity through two months beyond all contractual obligations and extension whenever obligations are extended; submit within 15 days of GeM contract award. The duration conflict requires clarification.
No tender or bid participation fee may be sought under the bid’s GeM disclaimer; no fee amount is specified.
Quote an all-inclusive delivered price covering taxes, transportation, loading/unloading and maintenance. No advance is claimable. Service bills are payable within 45 days after SDAC and online bill submission, superseding the GTC’s 10-day default.
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.
Minimum average annual turnover is INR 6.60 crore for the last three financial years. Upload certified audited balance sheets or a CA/Cost Accountant certificate; the custom requirement also requires CA certification that the firm incurred no loss in those three years.
The GeM bid requires three years of similar services to a Central/State Government organisation or PSU, supported by relevant contracts/orders for each financial year. MSE and startup relaxation for experience/turnover is expressly marked ‘No’.
Within the stated look-back period, complete either three similar services each at least 40% of estimated cost, two each at least 50%, or one at least 80%.
Bidder/service provider must be a primary LMO manufacturer using air liquefaction, based in India, with at least two own LMO manufacturing facilities and combined production/installed capacity of at least 50 TPD. The tender inconsistently states both five and three years of production/supply experience; this is reported under contradictions.
Must have supplied LMO for at least three years to at least three Government hospitals, each with minimum 350 beds, evidenced by supply orders/contracts/approved price lists and satisfactory completion/performance documents.
Must possess two or more LMO plants; approximately 70 MT LMO storage capacity with valid PESO licence; and at least five owned liquid-oxygen transport vehicles with valid PESO licences. Additional leased tankers are allowed with valid lease agreements and PESO licences.
LMO must be certified for medical use to IP 2020. Bidder must hold relevant valid drug licence, PESO licences for manufacture/storage/related work, GMP or BIS certificate/licence, and possess a QC laboratory supported by a Government competent-person certificate/letter.
The bidder must show its registered office has been in Assam for the last five years; a service-provider office must be in the consignee’s state; bidder/OEM must have a dedicated/toll-free service number and provide a telephone escalation matrix.
Bidder must not be under liquidation, court receivership/similar proceedings, or bankrupt, and must upload an undertaking.
Bidder must not be blacklisted by any Government organisation and must provide a notarised undertaking; it must also declare non-conviction/market standing, and provide a notarised undertaking that it has not filed a court case against AMCH. GeM participation also constitutes an undertaking that the seller is not debarred under GFR 2017 Rule 151.
A bidder from a country sharing a land border with India is eligible only if registered with the Competent Authority; false declaration/non-compliance may trigger immediate termination and legal action.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Supply approximately 820,000 kg (820 MT) of liquid medical oxygen over one year. The bid shows monthly consumption of 68,333 kg for 12 months and required capacity of 820,000 kg.
Supply through the bidder’s own cryogenic liquid-storage tank with vaporisation system, connected pipeline/controls and complete connection from liquid inlet to AMCH’s existing LMO tank and central medical-gas pipeline, complying with technical/statutory requirements.
Supplier bears transport and unloading, must connect the tank to AMCH’s existing pipeline, and use approved road tankers complete with required safety fittings and location/speed/visual monitoring.
LMO must meet IP 2020, be at least 99% pure, and be free of halogens, oxidising substances and water. Submit QA certificate with every lot. Quantity is measured by net tanker weight; specified conversion factors are 1 kg = 0.770 cum and 1 litre = 0.877 cum, with source justification.
Maintain at least three weeks’ requirement in stock. Refill at AMCH within six hours during emergencies/pandemics and within 24 hours in routine periods.
Quoted scope includes regular maintenance of cryogenic storage tank, valves, monitoring meters and essential LMO accessories for continuous hospital service.
Delivery/installation/commissioning is at Assam Medical College Hospital, Dibrugarh, Assam. At contract issue, the Buyer may increase or decrease quantity or duration by up to 25%; after issue it may only increase by up to 25%, which bidders must accept.
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 online through GeM as a Two Packet Bid. The bid requires a separate financial document showing the price breakup; participation constitutes acceptance of GTC/STC/ATC.
The ATC says every document uploaded on GeM must also be submitted in hard copy for technical evaluation/verification, but gives no general deadline or receiving address. For DD/FDR/banker’s-cheque EMD, upload scanned proof and deliver the original hard copy to the Buyer within 5 days of the Bid End date / Bid Opening date. This conflicts with the GeM disclaimer against physical documents as a qualification prerequisite.
Use the stated attestation for each document: blacklisting and no-court-case undertakings must be notarised on INR 20 non-judicial stamp paper; terms-acceptance and maintenance undertakings must be on official letterhead and duly signed. No DSC class is specified in the supplied documents.
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 bid’s standard EMD clause allows valid GeM-GTC exemptions, but the custom specification says no exemption for any bidder including MSE. GTC permits this State Government buyer to require EMD from MSEs through ATC, so MSEs should budget the full INR 8,25,000. For other otherwise-exempt GTC categories, GTC says contrary ATC clauses are null and void; obtain a portal ruling before relying on exemption.
Custom Clause 2 requires the manufacturer to have at least five years’ LMO production/supply experience, while Clause 14 and the GeM bid require three years. The stricter five-year requirement is the safer bid/no-bid assumption because it is tender-specific and appears in the mandatory technical specification, but the Buyer should confirm.
The bid specifies a 12-month ePBG for a one-year contract, but GTC requires performance security valid two months beyond completion of all obligations and extended with any obligation extension. Apply the GTC tail requirement: a 12-month instrument alone is insufficient unless the contractual completion/warranty dates make it compliant; seek confirmation of the required expiry date.
The ATC mandates hard copies of every GeM-uploaded document for technical evaluation/verification, while the bid disclaimer identifies mandating physical documents as a qualification prerequisite as prohibited. The GeM disclaimer/GTC should prevail, but because the ATC is explicit, request written Buyer clarification and a deadline/address rather than omit hard copies.
The base bid accepts similar-service experience with any Central/State Government organisation or PSU, but the custom specification narrows this to three Government hospitals of at least 350 beds. The bid disclaimer says experience cannot be sought from a specific organisation/department/institute. The Buyer must confirm whether the hospital-only test will be enforced; until clarified, meet the stricter hospital requirement.
Clauses 2 and 14 require an India-based manufacturer/bidder, yet Clauses 7 and 10.3 exempt PESO certificates where the manufacturing unit is outside India. The India-based primary-manufacturer requirement is the direct eligibility rule; foreign-unit bidders should seek confirmation whether the exceptions were included in error.
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 the Buyer to state on GeM whether INR 8,25,000 is compulsory for every bidder and, specifically, whether GTC-exempt startups, PSUs, BIS-validated sellers and other categories remain exempt; the ATC only has an express GTC carve-out for requiring EMD from MSEs by a State buyer.
Ask whether the pass/fail production-and-supply experience is three years or five years, and which entity must meet it (bidder, OEM/manufacturer, or both).
Ask whether the mandatory record is three years of supply to each of three Government hospitals of at least 350 beds, and whether PSU/private accredited hospitals or aggregated contracts will be accepted given the GeM disclaimer.
Ask which hard copies are actually required, the receiving officer/address, whether they must arrive before technical opening or later, and whether the ‘within 5 days of Bid End date / Bid Opening date’ rule is calendar days and applies only to original DD/FDR/banker’s cheque.
Ask for an exact ePBG expiry date/required month count because 12 months does not provide the GTC-required two-month tail beyond a one-year contract and the option clause can extend duration by 25%.
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.
The bidder must maintain three weeks’ stock and refill within six hours in an emergency/pandemic or 24 hours routinely. These response obligations require resilient nearby production, tankers and round-the-clock staffing.
Rate is fixed for one year and cannot be increased under any circumstances; it must include taxes, transport, loading/unloading and maintenance, and no advance may be claimed. Bidder bears oxygen, fuel, logistics and maintenance escalation risk.
Payment is up to 45 days after SDAC and online bill submission, with no payment for rejected service. Performance-security receipt/verification is a precondition to payment becoming due.
Delay attracts LD at 0.5% of delayed-quantity contract value per week/part, capped at 5% of total contract value; inordinate delay over 25% of completion period can raise the cap to 10%. Default may cause cancellation of the unsupplied portion, performance-security forfeiture, rating downgrade and GeM debarment.
Buyer may vary contract quantity or duration by ±25% at award and may increase it by up to 25% after award, which bidders must accept. Capacity, fleet, stock and working capital should cover the upside without a rate revision.
The institution reserves the right to accept, reject, withdraw or modify the tender/requirements without reasons and to relax conditions; the tender committee may inspect manufacturing plants before award.
EMD may be forfeited for bid withdrawal/modification, false/misleading/forged documents, or failure to furnish performance security. Labour-law non-compliance is a contract breach, and disputes are confined to Dibrugarh District jurisdiction.
