Unique aspect: multiple items under a single procurement with a single option-based quantity adjustment mechanism.

Technical Specifications & Requirements

• No explicit product specifications are provided in the tender data. The BOQ lists 14 items but details for each item (nature, quantity, unit) are not disclosed. The only technical directive is the presence of a formal Service & Support obligation: bidders must provide a dedicated toll-free number for service support and an escalation matrix with contact numbers. The procurement emphasizes contractual delivery discipline and defined support channels rather than itemized performance specs.
• The absence of item-specific standards suggests bidders should prepare generic compliance documentation and demonstrate capability to supply across a broad 14-item spectrum, while ensuring readiness for service support commitments and escalation procedures. The focus is on process readiness, delivery capability, and post-sale support readiness alongside the financials.

Terms, Conditions & Eligibility

• Quantity variation clause up to 25% of bid quantity at contract placement and during contract currency at contracted rates.
• Delivery period rules commence from the last date of the original delivery order; extended delivery time follows the specified formula with a minimum of 30 days.
• Bidders must provide a dedicated toll-free service line and a formal escalation matrix for service support.
• The tender requires compliance with buyer-added terms and the bidder/OEM must adhere to the escalation and service-support requirements as part of eligibility.
