Indian Navy Manpower Outsourcing Services Tender 2026 Nationwide - Minimum Wage, Skilled/Graduate/Admin, MSME/NSIC

Tender Overview

The Indian Navy, Department Of Military Affairs, seeks manpower outsourcing services under a minimum wage framework for skilled, graduate, and administrative roles. The procurement anticipates a service contract model with a service charge floor of 6% and requires vendors to be registered with MSME/NSIC/Defence Organisation at bid opening. An on‑site office in the consignee state is mandatory, along with a dedicated toll‑free service line and a clear escalation matrix.
