Directorate Of Education ICT Lab Design, Installation & Maintenance Tender Delhi 2026 - 800 Crore Est. Value, 25% Scope Change

Tender Overview

The Directorate Of Education, Delhi invites bids for the complete design, installation and maintenance of an Educational ICT Lab, including site preparation, hardware supply and installation, teacher training, and ongoing AMC/CMC maintenance. Estimated contract value is ₹800,000,000, with an EMD of ₹16,000,000. The procurement emphasizes broad scope flexibility, permitting up to 25% increase in quantity or duration at contract issuance and during execution. Bidders must comply with safety norms for working in high-risk environments and adhere to insurance and workmen compensation requirements. ATC clauses indicate that Department-provided terms prevail over GeM GTC, and financial bids must be submitted strictly in the GeM format.

Key differentiators include integrated ICT lab delivery, comprehensive training, and long-term maintenance; the lack of BOQ items suggests a framework for multi-component delivery spanning hardware, software, installation and capacity-building for educators. The procurement is positioned as a large-scale, centralized education initiative in Delhi with a focus on robust, standards-aligned ICT readiness and teacher enablement.
