The Tamil Nadu Postal Circle, Department Of Posts, invites bids for Manpower Outsourcing Services in CHENNAI, TAMIL NADU 600001. The procurement targets skilled, minimum wage workers with High School credentials and related support roles. Approximately ₹19,325,218 is the estimated contract value, with an EMD of ₹579,757. The tender emphasizes flexibility, allowing up to 25% quantity or duration variation during contract issuance and post-award adjustments, subject to bidder consent. Unique payment and security options include online RTGS, Demand Drafts, Fixed Deposit Receipts, and Banker’s Cheques payable to the Senior Postmaster, Thyagarajanagar Head Post Office. This procurement focuses on standardized, government-backed staffing for postal operations.
Key technical context derives from the absence of itemized specs. The BOQ lists zero items, signaling a pure manpower outsourcing contract rather than equipment supply. bidders should demonstrate capacity for scalable deployment of skilled personnel aligned with minimum-wage regulations. Essential compliance considerations include: - EMD submission methods (DD, FDR, BC, or online RTGS) to the Senior Postmaster; - PBG options and post-award performance security; - adherence to general tender norms under GeM guidelines; - ability to furnish required documents and biannual wage compliance. The tender’s structure implies a service delivery model, not hardware specs, with emphasis on reliable staffing and administrative compliance.
