Indian Coast Guard Manpower Outsourcing Tender Bhubaneswar Odisha 2026 - Minimum Wage Unskilled Skilled Admin ISO/IS 550-like Compliance

Tender Overview

The bid invitation is issued by the Indian Coast Guard under the Department of Defence for manpower outsourcing services, covering both unskilled minimum-wage and skilled graduate admin staff categories. The estimated scope includes deploying contracted personnel at buyer locations, with an EMD of ₹1,39,790 and a flexible 50% adjustment window for quantity or duration, applicable before and after contract award. The project requires a local service provider with a registered office in the consignee state and an in-state office to ensure rapid staffing and supervision. A critical differentiator is the explicit payroll responsibility on the service provider, who must disburse salaries first and then claim reimbursement from the buyer with statutory documentation. The award favors bidders who can demonstrate airport security clearance readiness and prior experience in airport premises/ environment, along with a robust security/compliance posture. This tender emphasizes compliance, timely payroll, and auditable financials to align with defence sector norms.
