Central Warehousing Corporation Handling & Transport Tender TaDEPALLIGUDEM Fertilizers 2026

Tender Overview

Central Warehousing Corporation invites bids for Handling and Transport on Lumpsum Basis at TaDEPALLIGUDEM for fertilizers, with an estimated value of ₹2,130,100 and an EMD of ₹21,310. The scope requires bidders with proven experience in rake handling and/or transportation of fertilizer or related commodities. Tenderers must meet minimum turnover and experience thresholds, with flexibility to adjust contract quantity/duration up to 25%, either during bidding or post-award. The procurement emphasizes prequalification compliance and bidder readiness to support regional warehousing operations managed by the Department of Food and Public Distribution. Unique clauses include conditional extension of tender validity by up to 30 days and a clarified path for MSEs to submit alternative eligibility proofs (UDYAM/Others). The absence of a BOQ indicates a lump-sum, service-based contract focusing on performance rather than itemized quantities, targeting capable operators within the fertilizer/logistics sector.
