Indian Army Department of Military Affairs Banners Posters PA Equipment Tea Lunch Tender 2026 - Government Procurement

Tender Overview

The Indian Army, under the Department of Military Affairs, seeks procurement across multiple media and hospitality categories including banners 4x4, posters, pamphlets, competitive exam books, media coverage services, PA equipment, and catering (tea and lunch for 400 persons) with associated misc expenditures. The scope spans print media, event support, and reporting/coverage services for a government operation. The category mix emphasizes integrated communications, ceremonial needs, and modest event provisioning. A key differentiator is the combination of printed materials with on-site services and catering for a sizable audience, requiring coordinated supply, quality control, and timely delivery across all items. Notably, supplier flexibility is embedded through an option clause allowing quantitative adjustments up to 25% during and after contract award, with delivery timelines tied to the original delivery period.
