Tender Overview

The South East Central Railway (SECR), under Indian Railways, seeks supply of PTFE Thread Sealing Tape in a pure goods supply contract. The bid focuses on the material specification (PTFE tape), with no BOQ quantity listed. The procurement emphasizes mandatory OEM authorization, and a 30-month warranty from supply, aligned to IRS terms. Inspection may occur either at the seller’s premises or at the consignee site, per ATC selections, with a post-receipt inspection as an option. The tender stresses GST considerations and authentic OEM authentication to ensure genuineness of the supplier. A past performance criterion governs bulk orders, demanding demonstrated supply of similar items within the last 3 years for at least 20% of tendered quantity to a Zonal Railway or Railway PUs. This procurement highlights SECR’s reliance on Central Govt/NABL/ILAC-accredited lab testing or OEM certifications at delivery. Unique conditions include tender-specific authorizations and documented capacity/capability credentials for bulk/developmental orders, reinforcing accountability for OEM-backed bids.
