Progress
Tender Overview
The Indian Army, under the Department Of Military Affairs, seeks Operating System Software (V3) with licensing models including cloud license portability. The tender emphasizes license scope, types, and generic software descriptions, with an EMD of ₹47,820. No BOQ items are listed, indicating a streamlined or framework-type procurement. The buyer reserves quantity flexibility up to ±25% at contract placement and during currency, with delivery time adjustments calculated as (additional quantity / original quantity) × original delivery period, minimum 30 days. This tender requires bidders to align with the ATC terms and the extended delivery mechanics when exercising the option clause.
