Tender Overview

The opportunity is issued by the Indian Army under the Department Of Military Affairs for ambulance service (event-based and short-term) with Type B and Type D configurations. The procurement involves multiple driveable ambulance variants including Single Stretcher Regular Van and Multi-stretcher Van configurations by no-preference OEMs, focusing on rapid deployment for events. The estimated value is not disclosed, but the bid requires an EMD of ₹69,908 and a 50% quantity/ duration adjustment right for the buyer.

The lack of BOQ data suggests a broad service contract, suitable for experienced ambulance providers with existing deployment capabilities.
