Tender Overview
Directorate Of Collegiate Education (Higher Education Department Kerala) invites bids for a Multifunction Machine MFM (V2) Q2, with a focus on A3 colour printing capabilities, ISO/IEC 24734 speed metrics, and duplex functionality. Estimated scope includes a single device with standard paper handling and connectivity features; however, BOQ items show zero entries, indicating a potentially consolidated procurement. Key differentiators include a mandatory A3 colour machine, OEM MAF on OEM letter head, and a Kerala-only seller requirement. The tender emphasizes onsite warranty of at least 1 year and mandates a minimum seller rating of 4.5. The procurement aims to meet institutional needs for scanning, copying, and printing across campus administration. The option clause allows up to 25% quantity variation at contracted rates, with delivery timelines recalculated from the last delivery order date and extended delivery period. The opportunity is located in Kerala, aligned with state procurement norms and local supplier eligibility expectations.
