Tender Overview
The tender is issued by National Aluminium Company Limited (Nalco), Bhubaneswar, under the Materials department, for the supply of items listed under the Nalco smelter stores category. The procurement emphasizes a complete supply cycle with delivery within 90 days from order placement and a manufacturer’s warranty of 12 months from material acceptance. Payment terms specify 100% payment via e-mode within 10 days of CRAC, with GST payments linked to GST returns (GSTR-2A/ANX-2). The price basis includes all cost components (P&F, freight, transit insurance, GST). This tender comprises 48 BOQ items, with a broad, multi-item scope covering store requirements. A key differentiator is the integration of tax compliance (section 194Q) and TDS considerations for vendors with substantial turnover, ensuring a transparent financial framework. Delivery and warranty requirements, coupled with mandatory documentary submissions, shape the bidder’s compliance posture and execution plan.
