Tender Overview
Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited invites bids for the supply of 1.1kV, 3.5C X 120 Cu, XLPE insulated, UNARMOURED, FRLS cable at Surat, Gujarat with a target delivery and pricing framework under the Department of Atomic Energy. The bid requires the bidder to submit a bid deposit of ₹91,460 (EMD) and adhere to the option clause allowing up to 25% quantity variation at contracted rates. The contract scope is limited to the supply of goods; GST handling is bidder’s responsibility with reimbursement at actuals or applicable rates (whichever is lower). The invoice must be issued in the consignee’s name with the consignee GSTIN. Various contract-termination triggers exist, including failure to deliver, insolvency, or breach of material terms. No BOQ items are listed, indicating a potentially fixed-scope, supply-only contract.
Key differentiators include the formal option-clause-driven delivery extension mechanism and the emphasis on GST compliance at bidder's risk. The tender emphasizes financial and contractual accountability, including joint liability for subcontracted work and strict transfer restrictions. This procurement focuses on unarmoured FRLS copper cables meeting specific insulation and construction standards as per attached technical specifications.
