Tender Overview
Department Of Statistics And Programme Implementation invites bids for Tablet Computer procurement with emphasis on non-obsolescence (3 years residual market life) and OEM/authorized reseller involvement. The bid includes an EMD of ₹45,000 and requires contractors to demonstrate prior supply to Central/State Govt bodies for at least 3 years. Installation, testing, and training must be conducted by OEM-certified personnel or OEM-authorized resellers. The contract includes an option clause allowing ±25% quantity variation and extended delivery timing based on the original period, with minimum time buffers. The tender emphasizes IPv6 readiness from day one and mandates a Malicious Code Certificate to prevent embedded threats. Unique terms emphasize manufacturer authorization and post-award support considerations across the supply chain.
Key differentiators include strict risk controls on software/firmware integrity, explicit supplier certification requirements, and a flexible quantity management framework designed for scale under Govt procurement norms. This opportunity targets suppliers with a proven govt track record and the ability to deliver compliant, secure tablets within defined delivery windows. The lack of BOQ items indicates a broad, equipment-wide purchase rather than a single SKU list.
Geographic/organizational context suggests a nationwide government procurement posture, with emphasis on quality, security, and post-sales service aligned to statutory purchase practices in 2025.
