Tender Overview
The Indian Army (Department Of Military Affairs) seeks procurement of laptops with a processor equal to or higher than M4 chip, for military use, under a government bid process in 2025. The contract includes option for up to 25% additional quantity at contracted rates, with delivery timelines tied to the original delivery period and adjusted per the option clause. Vendors must demonstrate ongoing supply experience to central/state governments and provide OEM or certified reseller installation and training. A data sheet must accompany bids, enabling cross‑check against technical parameters, and an End User Certificate must be furnished in the buyer’s format when required. The bid requires non‑obsolescence and minimum one year residual market life for offered models. This procurement emphasizes OEM authorization, and installation/commissioning by qualified personnel. The absence of BOQ items suggests the focus is on a capex laptop solution meeting government standards, with strict documentation and post‑award support expectations.
