Tender Overview
South Eastern Railway invites bids for the Handloom Cotton Turkish, Honeycomb and Huckaback Towels conforming to IS 854 (Q2). This procurement covers the supply of goods only, with post-receipt inspection at the consignee site and OEM-backed warranty. The contract scope emphasizes authentic samples approved by the consignee prior to bulk production, and requires an authorized dealer with tender-specific OEM authorization. The absence of a BOQ implies itemized quantities will be clarified during bid evaluation, while the focus remains on high-quality bath towels suitable for railway hospitality and facilities.
Key differentiators include sample approval before bulk manufacture and a requirement for IS 854 (Q2) compliant towels with honeycomb, Turkish, and Huckaback textures. The terms also mandate established after-sales service across India and a documented OEM support network. The tender targets bidders capable of rapid, warranty-backed delivery to railway facilities, with colourfastness testing not required by the buyer.
