Indian Army Gun Platform & Heavy-Duty Lashing Strap Tender 2026 – 5000 kg SWL Platform, 50 mm Strap, Defence Procurement

Tender Overview

Indian Army invites bids for the procurement of two related items: a Gun Platform capable of a Safe Working Load (SWL) of 5000 kg and a Heavy-Duty Lashing Strap with a minimum width of 50 mm and a breaking strength of 10,000 kg. The scope is limited to supply of goods (no services) and requires the bidder to demonstrate authorization and prior experience supplying similar items to Government Departments/Defence establishments. The project location is India, and the procurement emphasizes robust construction, corrosion protection, and pre-dispatch/post-receipt inspection. A key differentiator is the need for a manufacturer’s load test certificate and compliance with anti-skid and protective finish requirements. The ATC highlights a flexible quantity clause up to 25%, with delivery terms linked to the original delivery period and extended time calculations. Unique inspection arrangements involve the Board of Officer 1881 Med Regt for post-receipt checks.
