Tender Overview

The procurement encompasses both godown with services (preservation, insurance, watch & ward) and godown without services, with hardware by the buyer/service provider. The engagement location is CHANDIGARH, CHANDIGARH - 160001, aligning with state-level food security logistics. A key differentiator is the flexible bid clause allowing a 25% adjustment in quantity or duration at contract issue and post-issue—subject to terms. An Excess Settlement option permits additional charges up to a defined order total, requiring mandatory supporting documents. No BOQ items are listed, and the tender lacks explicit technical specifications. This creates a focused opportunity for storage operators to demonstrate capability in secure food grain custody and statewide supply chain support. The tender requires careful review of ATC documentation and alignment with state warehousing standards for food commodities.
