Tender Overview
The opportunity is issued by the Indian Army under the Department Of Military Affairs for the procurement of Air Conditioner System equipment. The tender does not disclose the exact quantity, location, or estimated value. A key differentiator is the unilateral option clause permitting up to 25% quantity variation with corresponding delivery extensions. The contract contemplates both pre-dispatch and post-delivery inspection processes and allows for independent inspection bodies, including third-party options, to mitigate risk during acceptance. Unique terms include delivery timing adjustments based on order quantities and an inspection regime that may allocate inspection costs, with a potential 0% charge to the buyer’s inspection clause. This tender emphasizes flexible quantity management, robust inspection protocols, and contractor compliance with delivery milestones.
