Tender Overview

Central Coalfields Limited seeks the supply of flexible trailing cable suitable for 3.3 KV classification (earth & unearthed systems) and compatible with IS-14494-1998 standards, along with higher voltage variants (6.35/11 KV) per IS-14494-1998. Estimated contract value is ₹58,56,600 with an EMD of ₹54,500. Location is Haziribagh, Jharkhand 824505. Bidder should comply with an option clause allowing ±25% quantity variation and extended delivery as specified, while offering goods-only supply. MSE preference applies per policy, with manufacturer eligibility for purchase benefits.

Key differentiators include explicit standard alignment to IS-14494-1998 and the option-based delivery expansion mechanism, together with GST considerations handled by bidders. Tender emphasizes procurement of ready-to-supply cables, not services, under a single goods-supply scope. The absence of BOQ items indicates a generic cable lot or catalog-based supply. The buyer reserves rights for termination on non-compliance and price/term adjustments through contract renegotiation.
