Tender Overview

The opportunity is issued by the Central Railway (Indian Railways) for the procurement of Self-Contained Drinking Water Coolers (V3) as per IS 1475 (Q2). The scope covers multiple water cooler configurations (generic category: Type, Cooling Capacity in LPH, Pressure/Storage variants, storage capacity in liters, power supply, outer body material, and number of faucets). While the BOQ shows no numeric line items, the tender emphasizes compliance with IS 1475: 2024 clauses for storage and storage unit construction, ensuring compatibility with railway-installed water systems. A key differentiator is the IS 1475: 2024 requirement for storage type units and the specified 25% quantity option clause, which allows incremental orders at contracted rates. The procurement aims to equip railway facilities with compliant, reliable, and standardized water cooling solutions. The tender scope is limited to supply of goods, with post-receipt inspection at consignee site.
