Supply and Delivery of Servers

The eligibility requirements include being a registered entity with valid certifications relevant to IT hardware supply. Companies must demonstrate technical capabilities, compliance with applicable laws, and a proven experience in delivering servers or similar products. Additionally, participation is encouraged for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSEs), which may benefit from simplified qualification processes.

The servers must meet specific technical specifications, including high processing power, ample memory capacity, robust storage solutions, energy efficiency, and virtualization support. Bidders must ensure their proposals include documentation verifying compliance with these specifications to be eligible for consideration.

Bidders must submit their documents electronically through the designated tender platform. Accepted document formats typically include PDFs for technical and financial proposals. All submissions should be clear, complete, and formatted as instructed within the tender guidelines to ensure proper evaluation of bids.

The evaluation process for bids is structured around several key criteria, including compliance with technical specifications, pricing competitiveness, and past performance records. Bidders will be assessed on offering the best combination of quality and price, which ensures that the Department of Health Research receives value for their investment in servers.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSEs) and startups are encouraged to participate, as special provisions may facilitate their inclusion. These could include watered-down eligibility requirements, additional guidance during the bidding process, and potential financial incentives designed to support local entrepreneurship under the ‘Make in India’ initiative.
