Tender Overview
The procurement is issued by the Indian Army under the Department Of Military Affairs for a broad range of vehicle parts and assemblies, including items such as speedometer cables, hoses, gaskets, radiators, drive components, lamps, relays, and clutch/armature assemblies. The BOQ lists 24 items, but exact quantities and unit measures are not disclosed. A key differentiator is the mandatory pre-dispatch inspection at the seller premises and the option clause enabling up to a 25% quantity increase at contracted rates. OEM installation and commissioning must be performed by the OEM or an OEM-certified resource, with supplier delivery timing linked to delivery orders. The tender emphasizes conformity with supplier-provided inspection and after-sales support for imported products requiring an Indian office for service.
