Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited Database Management System Software Tender 2026 Noida - IS/ISO Standards & OEM Support

Tender Overview

Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) invites bids for a Database Management System Software (V3) under PAC-only conditions. The procurement covers DBMS components/modules, licence type and edition, scalability and OS compatibility, with OEM support for patches and version upgrades. The engagement anticipates a vendor who can deliver a comprehensive RDBMS suite including security, replication, clustering, analytics, and backup features. Although the BOQ lists 0 items, the scope references extensive software features and licence scope, signaling a wide deployment within BHEL environments and potential multi-year renewal considerations.

Brief terms include emphasis on the ATC document stamping, GST alignment, and upfront vendor code creation documentation. The bid process requires coordination with the BHEL CDT team based in Noida, and inquiries to Ms. Himani Singla within four days of bid submission. The tender relies on an OEM-supported, enterprise-grade DBMS with ongoing patching and upgrade capabilities.

Key differentiators include explicit focus on RDBMS performance, security, replication, and analytics features, alongside license management and upgrade paths. The absence of a BOQ suggests the emphasis is on compliance with vendor responses, licensing options, and demonstrated capability to deploy across enterprise-scale environments.
