Tender Overview

West Central Railway of the Indian Railways invites bids for the ratchet type torque wrench (Q3) under a supply-only contract. The procurement emphasizes a 3-year OEM warranty, with service capability across India for installation, commissioning, and after-sales support. A strong emphasis on Make brand and traceable documentation, including central government/NABL/ILAC test conformity, is highlighted. The bid includes procurement preferences for Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) under the MSE policy, with a potential matching mechanism if L-1 is not an MSE and the price is within defined margins. The absence of a BOQ implies itemized, brand-specific supply. The scope centers on direct goods supply with formal acceptance criteria and post-delivery support requirements. The tender, though lacking explicit start/end dates, targets a complete supply and handover to Indian Railways facilities with documented warranty coverage and service network details.
