Tender Overview
The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), Department of Agricultural Research and Education (DARE), seeks procurement of packaged drinking water bottles with a 20 L capacity (mineral water) for delivery in Central Delhi, Delhi 110002. The tender page notes a flexible quantity framework, allowing a 25% increase or decrease at contract placement and during the contract currency at the same contracted rates. The absence of BOQ items and explicit values suggests bidders should prepare for a scalable supply capable of meeting variable demand within the central Delhi jurisdiction. A key differentiator is the option clause enabling adjustments in order quantities without re-tendering, coupled with standard delivery-time calculations tied to original delivery orders. This indicates a focus on reliable, scalable mineral water supply to support ICAR’s central Delhi operations.
