Eastern Railway Time Switch Tender Howrah West Bengal ISO 9001 Quality Standards 2026 - OEM Authorized Dealer Participation

Tender Overview

Eastern Railway seeks the time switch supply in Howrah, West Bengal for the Indian Railways network. The scope is limited to the supply of goods with a focus on clock accuracy, mounting rails, and electrical specifications. The tender emphasizes OEM authorization, sample approval at the consignee, and post-receipt inspection. The requirement highlights a single-supplier delivery path to the SSE/G/KWAE office and a strict compliance regime with quality certificates, including ISO certification. Notably, the BOQ contains no items, signaling a procurement framework for a standard time-switch product rather than a multi-line BOM, and the emphasis on OEM/dealer participation shapes bidder eligibility and sample validation. The unique aspect is the mandatory sample approval prior to bulk supply and the specific delivery point within the SSE/G/KWAE premises.
