Tender Overview
Rail Coach Factory Kapurthala (Indian Railways) invites bids for a complete modular tables package including table tops, understructure, and pedestal/storage units with lamination and finish details. The procurement site is Kapurthala, Punjab 144038, and the BOQ shows a multi-component furniture scope focused on modular/meeting/centre tables (V2). The contract emphasizes precise dimensional tolerances, adjustable worktop heights, edge details, and lamination quality, with emphasis on color matching across components. A key differentiator is the extensive specification matrix for both top and understructure, including metal leg details and modesty panels. The absence of a listed estimated value or EMD suggests the need for technical compliance and exact BOM alignment to the tabulated specs. The option clause governs quantity variation up to 25 percent during and after contract award, impacting delivery planning and pricing stability.
