Tamilnadu Police Department Rubberised Inflatable Boat Tender 4.2 m with Indigenous OBM Support 2025

Tender Overview

The Tamil Nadu Police Department (Organization: Operations) invites bids for a 4.2 m rubberised inflatable rescue boat category, with emphasis on an indigenous OBM (outboard motor) engine and proven nationwide product support. The procurement appears to focus on a single boat model with capacity to accommodate emergency rowing using 2 paddles and related rescue functions. The tender contemplates a potential quantity adjustment of up to 25%, with delivery timing linked to the original and extended periods. The ATC highlights mandatory conformance to specific ATC-specified specs and confirms post-award service requirements across the state. A dedicated service network and toll-free support are required for warranty regimes. The absence of BOQ items suggests a streamlined or framework-based purchase process for this critical public-safety asset.
