Total 19164.00 Gram across six Southern Railway consignees in Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
Completion on or before 30-SEP-27 in two equal lots (Apr-May 2027 and Jul-Sep 2027 windows); schedule tentative.
Inspection by TPI Agency; stage inspection not required; firm must indicate complete works address where inspection will be conducted.
Item details state warranty 30 months after delivery; special condition says that figure is indicative and actual warranty follows product specification. Shelf life: 12 months product life with minimum 9 months usable life on supply date; mfg/expiry on each pack.
Pre-decided splitting is applicable; purchaser may distribute quantity among eligible tenderers within the zone of consideration per SR Part-B para 5.2.
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.

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 tender folder contains no corrigendum or addendum documents; NIT values as published on 21/08/2026 stand without amendment history.
Final operative values remain those in the original NIT: publish 21/08/2026 10:57; close 23/09/2026 14:30; validity 90 days; EMD INR 110810; tender cost NIL; delivery by 30-SEP-27 in two equal lots.
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.
Item details and IRS Conditions fix warranty at 30 months after delivery, while NIT Special Conditions say the printed warranty is only indicative and actual warranty follows the product specification.
SR tender conditions require SD validity of 60 days beyond completion of all contractual obligations including warranty, while Billing Instruction requires BG currency of at least 3 months beyond the delivery date (or extended delivery date).
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 whether warranty is firmly 30 months after delivery (NIT item details / IRS Clause 10) or a different period under an unattached product specification, given Special Conditions call the printed warranty only indicative.
NIT only states 'as per Specn. Ag2SO4' without attaching a detailed chemical/purity/test standard; request the complete specification, acceptance tests and packing norms before pricing.
Confirm expected split among L1/L2 (and any developmental 20% ceiling) for the six consignees, and whether itemwise/consigneewise evaluation can produce different suppliers per consignee.
Seek written confirmation whether SD BG must cover warranty+60 days (SR Part-A) or only 3 months beyond delivery (Billing Instruction), and the exact beneficiary name/accounting unit.
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 at 1/2% of price of delayed goods (including taxes, duties, freight) per week or part week, capped at 10% of value of delayed supplies, plus Denial Clause on tax increases after original delivery date when DP is extended with damages.
Supply windows run Apr-May 2027 and Jul-Sep 2027 through 30-SEP-27, and purchaser may increase quantity up to +30% within DP including extensions.
Withdrawal/revision within validity forfeits EMD; false credentials can forfeit EMD/SD and ban business up to two years; SD default allows LOA cancelation and recoveries.
NIT payment is 100% only after receipt, inspection and acceptance at destination; GST misclassification risk sits with bidder and payment uses lower of PO vs billed GST.
Even L1 may not get full quantity under pre-decided split; non-Class-I local suppliers are barred from ordering consideration.
Under IRS warranty, defects must be rectified/replaced within 60 days free of cost at ultimate destination, or equivalent amount deposited; failure is breach; rejected goods removal/cost risks on contractor.
TPI inspection at works plus FOR destination road deliveries to six consignees in TN and Kerala increases coordination, freight and rejection exposure.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
