Indian Army Manpower Outsourcing Services Tender 2025 - Minimum Wage Skilled/Unskilled with 25% Variation and EMS Registration

Tender Overview

The Indian Army, Department of Military Affairs, invites service providers for manpower outsourcing on minimum wage for skilled and unskilled categories. The procurement involves staff deployed at buyer locations with project controls defined by government rules. The bid includes an EMD of ₹99,600 and requires service providers to be registered/empanelled with Military Engineer Services as of bid opening.
