National Institute Of Rural Development (NIRD), under the Department of Rural Development in Kamrup, Assam (781001), invites bids for Security Manpower Services (Version 2.0) focusing on Unarmed Security Guards for office/commercial/institutional and residential premises. The project’s estimated value is ₹5,162,588.64 with an EMD of ₹103,250. The buyer mandates a local service provider office within the state to ensure service proximity. A key clause permits a 25% adjustment in contract quantity or duration at tender issuance or during contract execution, subject to consent. The scope requires 24x7 security coverage and weekly rest days for guards in compliance with labour laws, while ensuring continuous staffing as wages are paid for 30 days of work.
No explicit technical specifications are published in the tender. However, the procurement category is clearly defined as Security Guard services for multiple installation types (office, commercial, institutional, residential). The absence of a Bill of Quantities (BOQ) suggests a lump-sum or service-based pricing model. The tender emphasizes a local service office, and the extended service requirement implies robust manpower management capabilities, shift planning, and regulatory compliance with labour norms. The value and EMD imply a mid-scale contract requiring discipline in tender submission and bidder capability verification.
Key terms include: 25% quantity/duration variation allowance; mandatory local service provider office in the state with documentary evidence; adherence to a 30-day wage payment framework by the institute; 24x7 security coverage with weekly off provisions for guards; and compliance with labour laws. The tender lacks specified delivery timelines, but the service must be continuous within the institute. Bidders should demonstrate ability to scale staffing and meet regulatory wage obligations while maintaining service continuity.
