Indian Army MT Spare Procurement Tiruvallur Tamil Nadu 2025 - Service Center, Pre-Dispatch & Turnover Standards

Tender Overview

The procurement is organized by the Indian Army (Department Of Military Affairs) for multiple MT Spare items spanning categories MT Spare 1 through MT Spare 10, located in TIRUVALLUR, TAMIL NADU. The tender outlines the need for a functional service network within each consignee state for carry-in or on-site warranty scenarios, with the requirement to establish a center within 30 days of contract award. It includes a robust inspection regime (pre-dispatch or post-receipt) via an approved Inspection Agency and a mandatory advance sample approval process, where the bidder must submit a sample within 5 days of award. The turnover criterion is specified as a minimum average annual turnover over the last three years, supported by audited statements or CA/Cost Accountant certificates. The BOQ lists 10 items, all labeled N/A in quantity/units, indicating a potentially broad or framework-based scope rather than itemized line items. A unique feature is the post-sample approval delivery hold, with LD waivers only if delays are buyer-caused. This tender emphasizes compliance, traceability, and timely delivery within a government procurement framework.
