Tamil Nadu Health & Family Welfare Department Refrigerating Appliances Tender 2026 Tuticorin IS 17550 2026

Tender Overview

The Tamil Nadu Health and Family Welfare Department invites bids for Household Refrigerating Appliances conforming to IS 17550 (Q2) for procurement in Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu 627713. The scope covers standard refrigeration appliances with specifications including Conformity to Indian Standard, BEE star rating, and model-specific finish and colour options. The tender notes that the Contractor must be an authorized TNMSC supplier with GST registered in Tamil Nadu, and payments are processed by TNMSC after stock entries across Health Sub-Centres (HSCs). The absence of a BOQ suggests a broad equipment category rather than a fixed quantity. A key differentiator is the option clause enabling up to 25% quantity variation at contracted rates during and after the contract period.
