Tender Overview
Buldhana District Panchayats invites bids for a Tricycle or Rickshaw for Carrying Goods (V2) under the Department of Panchayati Raj in Maharashtra. The tender emphasizes generic driving mechanism, cart/container materials, load capacity, frame size, cycle lock, and accessories. Two notable clauses include a 25% quantity variation tolerance and extended delivery time calculations, with delivery tied to order dates. Bidders must demonstrate financial solidity, GST and PAN compliance, and prior relevant exposure. The buyer highlights potential rejection at any stage and requires demo participation at gram panchayat level for certain conditions. This procurement targets local Maharashtra-based suppliers and emphasizes documentary proof (GST, PAN) and past performance as decision criteria.
