Directorate of Youth Affairs Puducherry Ethernet Information Outlet Tender 2026 ISO 9001 800000

Tender Overview

The opportunity is a procurement by the Directorate of Youth Affairs (Puducherry) for an Ethernet Information Outlet under the Q3 category, with an estimated value of ₹800,000 and an earnest money deposit (EMD) of ₹24,000. The scope includes supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of Ethernet outlets, RJ45 configurations, keystone jack types, mounting, and termination methods, with a required ISO 9001 certification. The contract allows a 25% quantity variation during and after award, at contracted rates, with delivery timing anchored to original timelines and adjusted per the option clause. An accompanying OEM authorization, GST considerations, and a local service office in the 6/9 state of consignee are mandatory. The tender emphasizes certificate uploads and material testing as part of acceptance criteria.

Key differentiators include the explicit option to scale quantity, mandatory OEM authorization, and ISO 9001 certification as a gatekeeper for eligibility. The absence of BOQ items suggests a standardised category solicitation, prioritising configured cabling and connectivity components rather than bespoke items.
