No BOQ items listed; scope appears to be audit services rather than hardware. Emphasizes compliance with CERT-IN empanelment and anti-malicious code certification. This tender requires bidders to demonstrate information security auditing capability, with a focus on CERT-IN empanelment and verified security practices. A key differentiator is the mandatory CERT-IN empaneled auditor requirement and the Malicious Code Certification. The tender lacks technical specs but anchors selection to regulatory compliance and credential checks, typical for government cyber risk assessments. The absence of a detailed BOQ suggests a focused audit engagement rather than procurement of equipment.
