Tender Overview
The Water Resources Department, Madhya Pradesh invites bids for a broad range of office supplies and printing papers including photo copy paper (A4 75 gsm, A3 75 gsm), typing paper, glue sticks, pens, markers, file covers, punching machines, staplers, rulers, registers, envelopes, and related clerical items. The procurement unit is located in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh with a substantial catalog of 102 items and a potential bulk-scale requirement. Bidders must demonstrate prior experience in similar work and provide a firm address proof for the Bhopal location. A key differentiator is the requirement to present a live demo of approximately thirty major items to verify product specifications, ensuring alignment with requested quality. The buyer reserves the option to increase quantities by up to 25% during contract execution, at contracted rates, necessitating scalable supply readiness. A mandatory non-blacklisting certificate and compliance with listed terms are essential.
