Indian Army Manpower Outsourcing Tender 2025 - Unskilled Labour, GEM/MES Registered, 25% Quantity Flexibility

Tender Overview

The Indian Army, Department of Military Affairs, seeks Manpower Outsourcing services for unskilled work with minimum wage compliance and Admin category oversight. The procurement scope references unskilled manpower with High School education as a typical requirement; no BOQ items are listed, indicating a staff augmentation or deployment contract rather than material goods. The buyer mandates GEM and MES empanelment for eligibility, with a contract quantity/duration adjustment allowance of up to 25% at bid/award stages and post-award execution. An office of service provider must be located within the consignee's state, ensuring local presence. Financial security can be furnished via Fixed Deposit Receipt (FDR) in the seller’s name, replaceable with a Performance Bank Guarantee per GeM GTC, plus delivery of the original FDR within 15 days of contract award. This tender emphasizes compliance, registration, and post-award governance rather than a complex product specification. Unique terms include mandatory compliance with government registration and the liability framework for assignment/sub-contracting; the absence of an itemized BOQ suggests a service contract model.
