The eligibility requirements include being a registered entity with the necessary legal documentation. Bidders must show proven experience in providing and maintaining water vending solutions or related technologies. They are also expected to comply with local health and environmental regulations to ensure service reliability and safety.

The technical specifications mandate that the Drinking Water ATMs must dispense water efficiently at designated flow rates, adhere to user-friendly designs for all demographic segments, and comply with all regulatory standards for potable water. This guarantees not only functionality but also safety and accessibility for end-users.

The payment terms typically involve installments based on project milestones achieved. Bidders must also provide a performance security to cover project execution, which is usually a percentage of the total contract value. This ensures commitment to quality and adherence to project timelines.

Bidders must submit documents through the designated electronic portal as outlined in the tender notices. Acceptable formats for documentation typically include PDF or electronic spreadsheet formats. It’s crucial to ensure all documents adhere to the prescribed specifications to avoid disqualification.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSEs) are afforded certain advantages, such as relaxed eligibility criteria and potential financial support. The initiative aligns with ‘Make in India’ policies, encouraging local production and procurement. This promotes an inclusive environment for smaller enterprises to participate in significant government tenders.
