Solapur Zilla Parishad Off-Grid Solar PV Power Plant Tender Maharashtra 2025 – Supply, Erection, Testing, Commissioning

Tender Overview

The project targets the purchase and implementation of an off-grid solar photovoltaic power plant under the Solapur Zilla Parishad in Maharashtra. The scope covers Supply, Installation, Testing and Commissioning of the PV system. While the BOQ items are not listed, the tender incorporates a flexible quantity clause up to 25% and provision for extended delivery timelines. A critical differentiator is the requirement to establish a Functional Service Centre in the state within 30 days of award, with a dedicated service support line and escalation matrix. The documentation emphasizes design validation before fabrication and mandates documentary evidence of the service centre prior to payment. This tender requires rigorous post-award compliance and technical alignment with buyer-approved drawings to minimize delivery risk. It targets local participation with a strong emphasis on post-installation support and formal approval processes, enhancing operational readiness on project kickoff. The absence of explicit technical specs shifts focus to compliance, project management cadence, and supplier readiness to meet buyer-drawn design criteria.
