Tender Overview
The South Eastern Railway invites bids for Monthly Basis Cab & Taxi Hiring Services in the sedan category, covering 1500 km x 320 hours with outstation 24x7 support from the Kolkata region (GRC, South Eastern Railway). Estimated contract value is ₹1,073,264 with an EMD of ₹21,466. The procurement uses a flexible option clause allowing up to ±25% changes in quantity or duration pre- and post-issue. The bidder must manage payroll and statutory compliance, with bankable EMD options via DD or fixed deposit receipt. A mandatory integrity pact and non-assignment/sub-contract restrictions apply. This tender emphasizes service continuity, payroll clarity, and strict liability for performance.
Key differentiators include 24/7 outstation support, 320 service hours, and an option-based expansion framework. Unique compliance requirements include providing a signed integrity pact and adherence to supplier responsibility policies. The contract structure appears to emphasize direct liability, payroll responsibility, and transparent invoicing with potential excess settlement charges as allowed by invoice-level documentation.
This tender requires bidders to prepare EMD submission via DD or FD, and to deliver hard copies within five days after bid end date. The absence of a BOQ suggests a service-oriented engagement rather than goods-based delivery, with emphasis on operational capability, driver management, and regulatory compliance for railway security and passenger transport services.
