Scope covers delivery, installation, testing, commissioning, and operator training, with statutory clearances as applicable. The contract requires a one-year warranty from final acceptance or after commissioning, with OEM warranty certificates submitted at delivery. The supplier must have ISO 9001 certification and maintain a nationwide after-sales service network with local service centers near the consignee. An option clause allows up to 25% quantity variation at contracted rates, with delivery timelines recalculated accordingly. Unique elements include acceptance of extended delivery periods and a guaranteed after-sales-support framework across India.
