Tender Overview

Central Delhi, Delhi procurement for Cisco Layer-2 Switches Smartnet warranty. The tender indicates an EMD of ₹30,963 and a governed procurement approach with option clauses for quantity adjustments up to ±25%. The document specifies the need for OEM/Authorized Distributor authorization and a turnover/financial stance, with a focus on compliance and pre-qualification rather than a BOQ. Location-specific purchase preference for MSEs is included, aligning with public policy.

Bidders should prepare OEM authorizations, financials, and evidence of non-liability to avoid disqualification.
