Tender Overview

The requisition by the Labour Department Puducherry seeks Steel Almirah / Cabinets (V4) Q2 in the Puducherry region. The tender covers multiple generic features such as almirah types, mild steel sheet grade, color family, drawer/locker availability, hanging rods, mirror frames, tie hangers, and locker dimensions.

The tender stresses local service support for imported products and mandatory OEM documentation, with testing at AHSP labs or government/NABL labs if needed. This opportunity targets established suppliers with ISO certification and a proven domestic/supported after-sales network.
