Bidders are required to submit an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) as specified in the tender document. The EMD acts as a security measure during the bidding process, assuring the tendering authority of the seriousness of the bids submitted.

It’s advisable for bidders to refer to the tender documentation for detailed performance security requirements.

There are special provisions designed to support Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSEs) in this tender process. MSEs may be offered preferential treatment, including relaxed criteria for eligibility and financial thresholds, which enables them to compete effectively with larger firms. Furthermore, MSEs are encouraged to participate as the government’s initiative, ‘Make in India’, aims to bolster local manufacturing and procurement processes.
