Supply of Various Automotive Parts

The eligibility requirements include being a registered entity capable of supplying automotive parts. Bidders must hold valid trade licenses, tax registration, and any relevant certifications that confirm their compliance with industry standards. Additionally, they should have prior experience in delivering similar products to ensure they can meet the quality and reliability expected by the Department of Military Affairs.

Bidders are required to demonstrate that their products meet international quality standards. This includes providing documentation on product specifications, testing criteria, and certification of compliance with automotive safety norms. Suppliers must also outline their quality assurance processes and demonstrate previous experience with similar components.

The submission of documents must be done electronically through the designated procurement portal. Bidders are required to submit both technical and financial bids along with any supporting documents that validate their capabilities and compliance. Detailed instructions regarding the document formats and submission methods are provided in the tender documentation.

The Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) must accompany each bid submission, the specifics of which will be outlined in the tender document. The EMD acts as a security for the commitment of the bidder to comply with the terms of the tender. Bidders should ensure that the EMD is submitted in the correct form and amount to avoid disqualification.

The tender includes several provisions aimed at supporting Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSEs), such as relaxed eligibility requirements and reduced EMD amounts. These concessions are intended to enhance participation from smaller suppliers and facilitate their involvement in defence procurement processes while promoting local manufacturing in line with the Make in India initiative.
