Tender Overview

The National Automotive Board (Department of Heavy Industry) in Gurgaon, Haryana invites bids for the repair, maintenance, and installation of plant systems and upgradation of controllers and software for automotive test machines. The scope includes Emergency Locking Retraction systems, Retractor durability suites, Microslip/abrasion testing, and Bus window components as part of the test equipment upgrade. The estimated value is not disclosed, but an EMD of ₹79,680 applies. A notable bid term allows a 25% variation in contract quantity or duration at issuance and, for lump-sum service contracts, potential scope/value expansion up to 25% with consent. This tender targets maintenance and upgrading capabilities for a government automotive testing facility in Gurgaon.

Key differentiators include the combination of mechanical/electrical test machine upgradation with software/controller enhancements and the explicit 25% scope adjustment clause, which affects budgeting, scheduling, and contract risk management. The lack of BOQ items indicates a flexible service scope rather than a fixed-item purchase, inviting technical bids that demonstrate capable integration with existing test rigs and software ecosystems.
