Tender Overview
The procurement is issued by the Armed Forces Tribunal under the Department of Defence for the purchase of a Dummy ZU 23 MM Twin Barrel Gun. The tender shows no BOQ items or explicit quantity/estimated value, and the start/end dates are not disclosed. A key differentiator is the bidder obligation to comply with the Purchaser’s option clause, allowing up to 25% quantity variation during contract placement and within the currency period. Delivery timing is governed by the last date of the original delivery order, with time extensions calculated by the formula: (Increased quantity ÷ Original quantity) × Original delivery period, minimum 30 days. This ATC creates flexibility in procurement while maintaining contract rates.
Technical Specifications & Requirements
There are no explicit technical specifications in the tender data. However, the Buyer Added Terms impose an option clause allowing a 25% uptick in ordered quantity at contracted rates, and a delivery extension mechanism based on the original delivery period. The ATC also stipulates that vendors must submit a replica of the items during technical bid opening. The absence of a BOQ indicates reliance on future order adjustments rather than fixed quantities. Suppliers should prepare for possible bulk or phased delivery aligned with the 25% variation clause and ensure readiness for replica submission.
Terms & Eligibility
Key terms include the 25% quantity variation right and the calculated delivery extension method. Vendors must adhere to the option clause and submit the replica of the items by the technical bid opening date. Since EMD and exact value definitions are not disclosed here, bidders should be prepared to furnish standard bid documents and any OEM authorizations as part of the submission package, along with general GST/PAN and financials as typical compliance.
