Tender Overview

The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), through the Central Electrochemical Research Institute (CECRI), seeks an Endless Diamond Wire Cutting Machine to be delivered and installed at CSIR-CECRI, Azhagappapuram, College Road, Karaikudi, 630 003, Sivaganga District, Tamil Nadu. The tender contemplates a flexible quantity policy: up to 25% increase/decrease of bid quantity at contract award and during execution at contracted rates. Vendors must ensure the item remains market-viable with at least 7 years residual market life and provide a verifiable product data sheet. Installation, commissioning, testing, and training must be performed by the OEM or OEM-certified resources or OEM-authorized resellers. Delivery/installation location and value signals a potentially substantial equipment procurement tied to CSIR research activities.

Key differentiators include strict data-sheet verification, OEM authorization requirements, and a detailed delivery-time mechanism tied to the original and extended periods. The clause ensures continued availability of the equipment and aligns with CSIR procurement controls. Branded OEM authorization and service capability are mandatory to prevent supply risks and ensure post-sales support.
