The procurement is issued by the Steel Secretariat under the Department Of Steel for the supply of packaged water bottles and packaged natural mineral water. The tender specifies an EMD of ₹41,000 and a payment/guarantee mechanism via Demand Draft payable to the PAO Ministry of Steel in New Delhi. The scope appears to be a bulk beverage supply contract, with potential quantity flexibility under the buyer’s option clauses. The absence of BOQ details suggests a standard supply contract with vendor-provided quantities and delivery requirements. Key differentiators include the OEM authorization requirement and dedicated service support infrastructure in the consignee state. This tender is positioned as a government procurement for essential hydration solutions within a steel sector framework and may involve periodic replenishment along the contract term. Tenderers should prepare to demonstrate financial stability, manufacturing or distribution capacity, and robust service support.
