Tender Overview
State Bank Of India (SBI), Department Of Financial Services, seeks to procure a Gold purity testing meter / Karat meter in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu (641001). The scope includes supply, installation, testing, commissioning, and operator training, with all statutory clearances as required. While the BOQ shows zero items, the order should accommodate a 25% quantity variance under the option clause, at contracted rates. The purchase emphasizes OEM/authorized support, in-country after-sales service, and compliance with stated supply terms. The procurement prioritizes OEM-certified resources for installation and commissioning, with a strong emphasis on timely delivery and full lifecycle support, including training and handover documentation.
Key differentiators include the option-based delivery extension and mandatory OEM/authorized-reseller deployment for installation and commissioning, ensuring proper configuration and user training are completed by qualified personnel. The tender highlights turnover thresholds for bidders and OEMs, and requires bidders to attest non-blacklisting within the last five years. This opportunity is positioned for SBI to equip its in-house handling with certified measuring equipment, supporting accurate karat verification and quality assurance in precious metal handling.
