Tender Overview
The opportunity is with Rural Electrification Corporation Limited for newspaper advertisement services related to tender notices and procurement notices. The scope includes publication across multiple editions and languages (English/Hindi) in selected newspapers (e.g., Hindustan Times, Financial Times) with black-and-white rates and normal publication terms. The absence of a stated estimated value or BOQ implies a service-based engagement focused on ad placement, visibility, and compliance with tender notice formats. The bid clause allows a ±25% variation in contract quantity or duration at the time of issue and post-issue adjustments, necessitating flexible planning by bidders. This opportunity requires adherence to document submission as per the ATC/Corrigendum terms and strict certification uploads. Unique aspects include an emphasis on reliable, timely dissemination of public procurement notices and potential price-adjustment provisions during contract execution.
