GeM Contract Period is 1 Month(s) 2 Day(s). ATC requires the integration/enhancement exercise to be completed within 45 days from signing of agreement / award, with agreement execution within 15 days of work order.

ATC states tender document cost INR 500/- to be submitted online, and technical bid must include copy of Demand Draft for Tender Document Fees (Rs. 500/-). GeM Bid Disclaimer treats asking for any Tender fee / Bid Participation fee as a ground that the bid & resultant contract shall be treated as null & void.
ePBG Percentage 5.00% for Duration of ePBG required (Months) 12; Advisory Bank State Bank of India. ATC requires Performance Bank Guarantee of 5% of final bid amount from any Nationalized Bank in favour of Secretary-cum-CEO at contract signing.

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.
2 Year(s) past experience required for same/similar service. GeM text: experience ending month of March prior to bid opening of providing similar services to any Central / State Govt Organization / PSU; upload contracts/orders for each Financial year. MSE and Startup relaxation for Years of Experience and Turnover: No.
ATC Clause 3.1(a): experience of IT-related services in Govt./ Private Departments/Organisation/ Sector in last two years, with proof of at least one award/work order for each year.

No consortium, joint venture, lead-member or equity rules are specified in the Bid Document, ATC or Scope of Work.
Bidder shall not sublet, transfer or assign any part of the service contract.
Bidder must demonstrate the offered application module to the department before the last date of bid submission and upload a department-signed demonstration acknowledgement letter with the technical bid; failure may cause technical bid rejection.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Service engagement for enhancement, security strengthening, stabilization, integration, testing, deployment, support and handover of the existing Digital Labour Chowk Application source code for Himachal Pradesh (HPBOCW Welfare Board), described on GeM as Web/mobile based AR/VR or AR/VR related Application Development category item, Project/Lumpsum Based quantity 1.
Work is on existing mobile Application, APIs and database; GeM technical specs: Sector HPBOCWWB; Use-cases Mobile Application; user experience Mobile; Deployment Buyer (on prim). Production hosting/SDC/State server with secure PostgreSQL, file storage, SSL, backup/restore; Android APK/AAB and Google Play submission using Board-controlled console.

Phase 1 (First 45 Days from Contract/Work Order commencement): technical baseline/environments; critical security corrections (fixed OTP removal, authZ, file security, secrets removal); stabilize existing Worker/Employer workflows; production OTP, Map My India, real-time chat, external chatbot and push-notification integrations; production hosting/DB/SSL/backup; Android production release prep; testing and initial deployment docs.
Later period: Laravel 10→11→12→13 migration and PHP 8.3+; full Administrator Dashboard/account/verification; complaints & helpdesk; reports/MIS/analytics/export; production stabilization, documentation, training and final handover. These are expressly not First-45-Day deliverables.

Consignee/Reporting Officer Jitender Kumar at BOCW Board, Thakur Vatika, Kalini, Shimla, HP-171002. Board is to provide/arrange production hosting, domain, SSL, DB/file storage, backup, and access to OTP/map/chat/chatbot/push/Google Play services unless expressly in commercial scope; vendor must use own devices/peripherals/manpower.
Minimum 12-month AMC for modification, enhancement, bug fixing and additional changes, with minimum 4 persons (PM/Tech Lead; Senior Full-Stack; Mobile App Developer; DB/QA/Deployment). Support during Contract period for defects, releases, backups, docs; numerical SLA values are stated as not assumed unless separately approved (ATC delay penalty is separate).
Developed applications are property of HP BOCW Welfare Board; selected bidder and resources shall not use, sell or disclose proprietary/confidential information during or after the contract.
Only requirements expressly included in the Contract/annexures apply; incomplete/demo-only functions are not completed deliverables. Buyer option clause may vary quantity/duration/scope value up to 25% (lumpsum scope/value increase needs service provider consent after award).
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.
Online two-packet bid on Government e-Marketplace (GeM). Technical and financial proposals invited; evaluation method Total value wise evaluation; Bid to RA enabled: No.
Bidder shall submit tender documents duly signed and stamped on each page as token of acceptance. Affidavits required for non-blacklisting and acceptance of terms.
GeM GTC requires hard copy of Bid Security/EMD to Buyer within 5 working days of bid opening (scanned copy online). ATC additionally calls for DD copies for tender fee and EMD in technical bid and a physical demonstration before bid end. GeM Disclaimer item 4 treats mandating physical form as a pre-requisite to qualify bidders as nullifying the bid.
Bid lists Price-breakup format required from service provider pointing to attachment 1786359857.pdf; that file is identical to the Technical Scope of Work PDF and does not contain a commercial price-breakup sheet. GTC still requires complete price break-up in required price bid format before award.
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 supplied document set contains no corrigendum/addendum files, and no amendment notices altering dates, fees, eligibility or scope were found in the Bid Document, ATC or Scope of Work.
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 Bid header states Contract Period 1 Month(s) 2 Day(s), while ATC requires completion in 45 days from agreement/award, SOW requires First 45 Days plus remaining 12–18 months, and ATC also mandates minimum 12-month AMC via separate MoU. These durations cannot all be true simultaneously; bidder must seek clarification which period and what is priced in the GeM lumpsum.
GeM: Bid Offer Validity 180 Days From End Date. ATC Clause 8: 180 days from the date of opening of proposals.
GeM experience clause limits similar services to Central/State Govt/PSU, while ATC expressly allows Govt./Private sector IT experience for last two years.
ATC requires EMD in demand draft only; GeM Bid says EMD shall also be accepted as surety bond; GTC definition allows Insurance Surety Bond, DD, FDR, Banker’s Cheque, BG/e-BG or online payment.
ATC: unsuccessful EMD refund within 30 Days of notification. GTC: within 15 days after award or expiry of bid validity (and within 15 days of technical evaluation result for two-packet technical rejects).
ATC charges INR 500 tender document fee (online/DD). GeM Disclaimer item 11 says asking for any Tender fee / Bid Participation fee causes the bid & resultant contract to be treated as null & void.
GeM Bid Details: Arbitration Clause No; Mediation Clause No. ATC Clause 12 provides full Arbitration & Conciliation Act procedure with venue/jurisdiction at Shimla. Bid also states SLA/ATC conditions override conflicting GTC conditions for services.
ATC makes demonstration acknowledgement and fee/EMD DD copies part of technical bid contents; GeM Disclaimer item 4 voids bids that mandate physical-form submission as a pre-requisite to qualify, while GTC still requires EMD hard copy within 5 working days after opening.
Bid text refers to Estimated Bid Value indicated above but no amount is printed in Bid Details. Bid requires price-breakup format file 1786359857.pdf, which is a duplicate of the Technical Scope of Work, not a commercial breakup sheet. ATC also refers to a PBG format in the tender document that is not present.
Bid fixes ePBG duration at 12 months and 5%. GTC requires Performance Security valid for 2 months beyond completion of all contractual obligations including warranty. SOW contemplates up to 12–18 further months plus ATC 12-month AMC, so a 12-month ePBG may not cover full obligations unless extended.
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.
Confirm whether the quoted GeM price covers only the First 45 Days / GeM 1 Month 2 Days header, the full SOW First 45 Days + 12–18 months, and/or the separate 12-month AMC MoU, and how optional 25% scope/value increase will be valued.
Ask which experience rule prevails: GeM Central/State/PSU-only similar services, or ATC Govt./Private IT experience with one WO per year.
Request appointment process, venue (Shimla vs Hamirpur), required demo content (existing app vs bidder sample), contact person, and whether failure of Board to issue the letter can still reject the technical bid.
Seek written confirmation whether tender fee is waived under GeM Disclaimer, and whether EMD must be DD-only (ATC) or may be surety bond/BG/online per GeM Bid/GTC, plus physical submission address for hard-copy EMD.
Confirm who supplies production hosting/SDC access, OTP/Map My India/chat/chatbot/push credentials, and Google Play Console ownership; and that delays waiting on Board inputs / Play Store review are excluded from the 1%/week SLA penalty as SOW suggests for Play review.
Request the actual commercial price-breakup sheet (attachment is SOW duplicate) and the missing Performance Bank Guarantee proforma referenced by ATC.
Clarify dispute-resolution path and whether Shimla arbitration/courts in ATC apply despite GeM Bid Details showing Arbitration Clause No.
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.
GeM shows ~1 month contract while ATC enforces 45-day completion with 1% of contract value per week LD (cap 10%). SOW still loads multi-module security fixes, five external integrations, production hardening and Play Store release into First 45 Days, with further 12–18 months of framework/admin work — high execution and LD exposure if the short clock is enforced.
Failure to obtain a department-signed demonstration acknowledgement before bid submission may reject the technical bid — scheduling risk outside bidder sole control on a short bid window (published 13-08-2026, end 03-09-2026).
ATC payment is after completion of work and satisfactory verification; GTC payments due only after Performance Security receipt/verification. Combined with multi-phase SOW, cash-flow risk is high if Board treats all SOW phases as one completion event.
Board may terminate for unsatisfactory service or at will with one-month notice; Performance Security forfeited and dues may be withheld for non-satisfactory services irrespective of other contract terms. Broad cancellation rights without assigning reason also appear.
Production hosting, third-party OTP/map/chat/chatbot/push credentials and Google Play Console are Board-provided; unavailability can block First-45-Day acceptance while ATC LD still references stipulated time — dependency/register risk unless exclusions are confirmed.
No subletting allowed; vendor must supply all devices/connectivity/manpower; developed applications become Board property with ongoing confidentiality — limits delivery model flexibility and residual commercial use of work product.
Minimum 4 named AMC roles for 12 months via separate MoU after L-1 — if AMC rates are not in the GeM price and MoU is later imposed, commercial leverage shifts to Board post-award.
Buyer can vary quantity/duration up to 25% at award; lumpsum scope/value may increase 25% with consent. MSE within L1+15% can take 100% quantity at L1 — impacts competitive strategy.
Conflicting ATC vs GeM rules on tender fee, EMD form, arbitration, physical docs and missing formats create reject/representation risk; GeM allows seller representation window and buyer must reply before opening.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
