Tender Overview
The opportunity is issued by the Indian Army under the Department Of Military Affairs for a metal detector and related goods procurement. The estimated contract value is ₹100,000. The scope explicitly includes Supply, Installation, Testing and Commissioning of the Goods. Five BOQ items are listed but each shows N/A quantities, indicating preliminary listing rather than concrete specifications. The tender emphasizes a unilateral option clause allowing quantity adjustments up to ±25% of bid/contracted quantities, with delivery time recalculation based on the extended period. The procurement context centers on survival, field deployment, or training exercises typical of military equipment acquisition. The tender’s unique aspect lies in the option-based quantity flexibility and the “Scope of Supply” language covering end-to-end delivery. The absence of explicit location data requires bidders to verify delivery points with the purchasing authority. The document highlights a standard option clause and a comprehensive supply chain expectation for equipment delivery under routine government procurement processes.
Technical Specifications & Requirements
- No explicit product specifications are provided in the tender text; however, the inclusion of a metal detector and related goods suggests a need for rugged, field-capable equipment suitable for military use. The BOQ lists 5 items, yet all indicate N/A quantities, implying placeholder entries rather than finalized line items. The contract scope mentions “Supply, Installation, Testing and Commissioning,” indicating a full turnkey delivery model. Bidders should prepare for potential integration with field testing protocols and on-site commissioning workflows consistent with government supply contracts. Given the lack of standard references, bidders should seek clarification on intended product models, power sources, and operational environments.
