Final Advisory for Prospective Bidders

Before submitting the bid, bidders should verify the live GeM portal for any corrigendum, amendment, clarification or change to the tender schedule. Particular attention should be given to the closing date and time of 22 August 2026 at 4:00 PM, since online submission may require time for document uploading, validation and final bid submission.

The uploaded tender documents do not state a minimum average annual turnover or minimum net-worth requirement, and they do not specify a pre-bid meeting. These fields should therefore be treated as “Not specified”, rather than as zero or as a presumed requirement.

SkillCouncils.com recommends that interested organisations independently verify their GeM registration, service-category eligibility, experience evidence, statutory registrations and all mandatory declarations before submitting the bid.
