Required Tender Table

Tender Fee and EMD

The tender document can be downloaded free of cost from GVMC and AP e-Procurement portals. However, the bid document refers to processing fee/document fee receipt or DD, without clearly specifying the amount. Bidders should confirm the applicable processing fee, if any, on the e-procurement portal.

The EMD is required along with the technical proposal. The NIT states EMD as ₹33,37,200, while the BDS section states ₹33,00,000. Since this is a material discrepancy, bidders should verify the exact amount on the AP e-Procurement portal or through official corrigendum before submission.

The EMD may be submitted through an unconditional and irrevocable bank guarantee in favour of the Commissioner, Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation, payable at Visakhapatnam, or through online payment as permitted in the RFP.

Bidders must register on the AP e-Procurement portal and submit bids online. Physical/paper bids will not be accepted. The bid must be submitted in two stages:

1. Eligibility and Technical Bid
2. Financial Bid

Bidders must use a valid digital signature/e-token for submission. All required documents must be uploaded in the prescribed formats. If EMD is submitted in the form of a bank guarantee, the original EMD must reach the tender inviting authority before the due date and time.

Bidders are advised to submit documents well before the deadline to avoid technical issues. The tender summary and acknowledgement generated by the portal should be printed and retained as proof of submission.
