Tender Overview
Hindustan Copper Limited invites bids for the Operation and Maintenance of Other Machines and Plants – Complete System at its site in Balaghat, Madhya Pradesh. The estimated contract value is ₹2,970,947 with an EMD of ₹70,100. The scope covers full system O&M, with a buyer-furnished ATC that allows quantity or duration adjustments up to 25% before issuance and after contract award. The tender is published on GeM and requires bidders to adhere to bank-guarantee/insurance-surety formats. The project location and category indicate a broad maintenance scope rather than a single equipment buy, demanding capable service providers with proven O&M capabilities. A key differentiator is the explicit allowance for contract scaling within the 25% threshold, requiring flexible resource planning. Unique aspects include the specific EMD mechanism, SBIN bank details, and the GeM-specified terms that supersede other conditions.
