Tender Overview

The procurement opportunity is issued by the Indian Army, under the Department Of Military Affairs, for procurement opportunities in KOHIMA, NAGALAND - 797001. The tender outlines a broad goods/stock supply scope across 113 BOQ items, with no explicit technical specifications provided in the data. A key feature is the option to increase or decrease the bid quantity up to 25% during contract placement and the currency of the contract, at contracted rates. The delivery timeline is linked to the original delivery order date, with calculated adjustments based on the extended period, ensuring a minimum extension of 30 days. The tender emphasizes strict adherence to compliance and the guarantee of supplied stores, including replacement for defective or near-expiry items, and siting-free replacement within 5 days of intimation. The BOQ contains 113 items, but item-level quantities and units are not disclosed in the data. The opportunity requires vendors to meet financial and governance prerequisites as part of vendor code creation and bid submission.
