Tender Overview
Annamalai University (Higher Education Department, Tamil Nadu) invites offers for a Gas Chromatograph (GC) configuration with detector-inclusive supply. The bid covers detectors, counts of FID, TCD, ECD, NPD/FTD, FPD, PID, PFPD, and GC ports, along with capillary and packed columns, oven specs, and sampling hardware. Scope includes Supply, Installation, Testing and Commissioning of the GC system, plus required accessories and gas supplies. Notably, the tender requires compatibility with a range of detectors and integration of auto sampler, head space, and pyrolyzer options. The procurement emphasizes robust after-sales support, on-site training, and compliance with safety and EMI/EMC standards, under an OEM-serviced supply framework. The option clause permits quantity variation up to 25%, with delivery timelines aligned to contract execution and extended periods. The absence of explicit start/end dates or EMD values means bidders should prepare comprehensive technical bids and compliance documentation.
