Police Department Kerala Passenger Car Tender Thiruvananthapuram 2025 - OEM Turnover & 25% Opt Clause

Tender Overview

The procurement is led by the Police Department under the Home Department Kerala, targeting a Passenger Car (Q1) for deployment in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala 695001. The tender integrates an option clause permitting a 25% quantity increase/decrease at contracted rates, with delivery timelines recalculated from the original order date and minimum 30 days adjustment when extended. Bidders must demonstrate financial credibility via three-year average turnover and OEM turnover, supported by audited balance sheets or CA certificates. The absence of an BOQ suggests a broad supply scope, with the primary requirement centering on compliant vehicle supply and associated eligibility criteria.

This opportunity requires adherence to the stated commercial flexibility and rigorous financial verification to participate.
