Tender Overview
The Food Civil Supplies And Consumer Affairs Department, Punjab invites bids for Warehousing Service on a per MT basis for food grain storage at locations including Kapurthala and Phagwara in the state of Punjab, with a declared capacity of 80,000 MT. The tender focuses on godown facilities, with two scenarios: godown without services (buyer provides hardware) and godown with services (preservation, insurance, watch & ward) where hardware is provided by the service provider. The contract allows a flexible quantity/duration adjustment of up to 25% both before and after contract issuance, creating a dynamic engagement window for bidders. The absence of a BOQ indicates a broad warehousing scope rather than itemized line-items. This opportunity targets warehousing operators capable of handling large-volume food grain storage under specified service models and capacity constraints, within Chandigarh region proximity to Kapurthala/Phagwara. The unique differentiator is the dual-structure model (with/without on-site services) and the 25% contract variation clause, demanding robust capacity planning and risk management.
