Chhattisgarh School Education Department Desk and Bench Set Tender 2025 - Q2 Classroom Furniture, 25% Quantity Option, 102000 EMD

Tender Overview

The opportunity is a furniture procurement tender issued by the Chhattisgarh School Education Department for Desk and Bench Sets intended for classroom or training areas (Q2 category). The bid requires an EMD of ₹102,000 and includes a quantity option allowing a ±25% variation at contract award and during the contract period at the same contracted rates. Bidders must demonstrate adequate turnover (last 3 years) and OEM turnover requirements as specified in the bid document, with audited statements or CA certificates. A functional service centre in the state is mandatory for carry-in warranty, or establish one within 30 days of award. Although the BOQ shows zero items, the purchase scope remains clearly defined by the product category and contractual terms.

The tender emphasizes compliance with bidder turnover criteria, OEM financial capacity, and post-sale service accessibility, which are critical for classroom furniture procurement by a state education department. The absence of explicit product specs in the data suggests bidders should rely on standard classroom furniture dimensions and ensure alignment with internal specifications once released.

Keywords such as tender in Chhattisgarh, Chhattisgarh government procurement, and desk and bench set requirements guide the bidder’s targeting for state-level education furniture contracts.
