Public Works Department Kerala Designing Software (V3) PAC Only Tender Ernakulam Kerala 2026

Tender Overview

Public Works Department Kerala invites bids for Designing Software (V3) (Q2) ( PAC Only ) in Ernakulam, Kerala 682001. Estimated value: ₹1,777,128 with an EMD of ₹17,771. Scope includes licensed software with OEM support, updates, and version upgradation. Deliverables cover architectural, mechanical, electrical, UX/UI, and multiple design capabilities, including graphic, landscape, and simulation design. Key differentiator is PAC-only qualification and a broad suite of design modules across multiple design disciplines. The tender requires data sheet alignment, and a robust Malicious Code Certificate, with option to adjust quantity up to 25% during and after contract.

These bid terms emphasize software licensing (edition/type/lease duration), OEM-supported patches, and cross-OS compatibility while aligning with Kerala’s public procurement standards. The absence of BOQ items suggests a bundled software license package rather than discrete line items. Bidders should prepare for a flexible delivery timeline, conditional on original and extended orders, and ensure compliance with the mandatory 2-year govt-sector experience criterion.

Relevant procurement focus areas include strong data sheet verification, anti-malware attestations, and continuous upgrade commitments, all integrated within the Public Works Department’s digital design ecosystem.
