Punjab National Bank Note Sorting Machines Tender Etawah UP 2026 - ISI/ISO Standards & OEM Installation

Tender Overview

The opportunity is with Punjab National Bank for the procurement of a Note Sorting Machine (V2) in Etawah, Uttar Pradesh 206001. The scope includes supply, installation, testing, commissioning, and operator training, with any required statutory clearances. The tender emphasizes OEM/Certified implementation, data sheet alignment, and submission of GST-compliant invoicing. A key differentiator is the option clause allowing up to 25% quantity variation during and after contract award, with delivery calculations based on the original order quantities. This procurement targets government-backed banking infrastructure modernization in Uttar Pradesh, requiring robust sorting performance and integration readiness with existing banking operations. The absence of BOQ items suggests a broad, capability-driven solution rather than a fixed pack. Unique aspects include adherence to data-sheet conformity and OEM-led installation.
