Directorate Of Social Welfare Kashmir furniture procurement tender Jammu and Kashmir 2026 - ISI/NABL test & Advance Sample 2026

Tender Overview

The Directorate Of Social Welfare Kashmir in Jammu and Kashmir invites bids for a broad furniture procurement package covering items such as beds, study tables, chairs, shelves, wardrobes, sofas, center and dining tables, storage cabinets, pantry furniture, garden benches, and lobby seating. The tender requires an EMD of ₹50,000 and includes a notable option clause allowing a 25% quantity variation at contracted rates, with delivery timelines linked to the original order and extended periods. The scope emphasizes compliance with defense-related registration and quality verification requirements, underscoring a unique procurement context within the Social Welfare Department. A lack of BOQ items suggests a catalog-based or framework approach, and bidders should prepare to supply a diverse range of furniture across multiple facilities in the region. The inclusion of advance samples and lab-test conformity signals a quality-forward procurement regime aligned to public sector standards. This is a structured opportunity for established furniture suppliers to participate in a government framework under Jammu and Kashmir governance.
