The National Centre for Earth Science Studies (NCESS), Department of Earth Sciences, invites bids for Electric Field Mill/Sensors to enable atmospheric field measurements at Akkulam, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. The scope covers Supply, Installation, Testing and Commissioning of the specified equipment, with delivery and commissioning at The Director, NCESS, Akkulam. The procurement emphasizes data sheet alignment and GST-compliant invoicing, with performance under a 3-year warranty. Turnover criteria apply for bidders and OEMs, with post-order after-sales support in India for imported items. The absence of BOQ items suggests a modality-based or equipment-lot purchase, focusing on complete system delivery and site integration.
Key differentiators include mandatory data-sheet validation, GST invoicing alignment, and a 3-year warranty from final acceptance. The tender underscores the need for onsite installation and commissioning within the scope and requires adherence to vendor data sheets to avoid rejection due to parameter mismatch.
