Tender Overview
The Atomic Minerals Directorate, Department of Atomic Energy, invites bids for hiring earth moving equipment and drill-site preparatory services on an hourly basis, specifically for 140hp hydraulic excavators to support two drilling units (KDR-600(4) and HDCD-400(1)) at MC Palle. The estimated contract value is ₹499,376, with scope limited to per-hour equipment hire and associated site prep. A key differentiator is the vendor flexibility to adjust quantities or contract duration by up to 25% at contract issuance, enabling responsive project alignment. This opportunity is location-agnostic in the data, but signals AMD’s need for mobile, capable excavators for drilling support.
