Tender Overview
Banaras Hindu University, located in VARANASI, UTTAR PRADESH, seeks to procure a Spectrometer. The tender lists an EMD of ₹60,000 and enables a unilateral quantity variation up to 25% both at award and during contract execution, with delivery timelines linked to the original delivery period and a minimum 30-day extension rule. The procurement focuses on scientific instrumentation for the Department of Higher Education, with no BOQ items published and no explicit product specifications provided in the data. The clause-estimated approach suggests emphasis on supplier capability to scale volumes and adhere to contract terms under potential future extensions. The absence of detailed technical specs implies bidders should prepare thorough documentation to demonstrate compliance with general laboratory equipment standards and delivery reliability. This tender presents an opportunity for suppliers with ready-to-ship spectrometers and strong after-sales support to align with BHU’s academic needs and the possibility of incremental orders during the contract term.
