The GeM GTC also provides for EMD exemption for eligible MSEs, recognised DPIIT startups and other specified categories, subject to the applicable documentation and validation requirements.

EMD Mode

The bid does not prescribe a single online payment mode for the EMD. It expressly states that EMD may also be accepted in the form of a surety bond.

Accordingly, bidders should follow the exact EMD instrument and submission instructions available on the live GeM bid at the time of submission.

Document Checklist for Bidders

Important: The bid's seller-document section specifically names the ATC Certificate, OEM Authorization Certificate and three additional ATC documents. Bidders should obtain and review the actual ATC attachments on GeM rather than relying solely on a summary article.

Important Dates

The bid document records 18 August 2026 as its date and specifies the bid closing time as 31 August 2026 at 09:00:00, followed by opening at 09:30:00.
No separate pre-bid meeting date, time or venue is specified in the available seven-page bid document. Therefore, it should be treated as Not Specified rather than assigning an assumed date.

Reverse Auction and Evaluation

Reverse Auction is enabled for this tender, with the qualification rule stated as H1 – Highest Priced Bid Elimination. The evaluation method is Total Value Wise Evaluation.

The tender states that the Reverse Auction will generally be conducted among technically qualified bidders, with the highest quoting bidder excluded in the normal process, subject to the exceptions specified in the bid.

Tender Analysis for SkillCouncils.com

This procurement is particularly relevant to specialised professional training providers, AnyBody Software experts, OEM-authorised service providers and individual trainers with the capability to deliver advanced biomechanics and musculoskeletal modelling software training.

The scope is specialised rather than a generic IT training assignment. The programme covers AnyBody Software and AnyScript, AMMR, kinematics, inverse dynamics, motion-capture modelling, fatigue modelling and hands-on modelling work. This indicates that bidders should ensure their proposed trainer has practical expertise aligned with the technical syllabus rather than only general software-training experience.

A notable feature of the procurement is the requirement for OEM certification, combined with an individual-trainer delivery model. Bidders should therefore carefully establish their OEM relationship/certification capability and ensure that their documentary evidence is consistent with the proposed training arrangement.

The tender also provides MSE purchase preference, subject to valid Udyam registration and the applicable GeM validation requirements. Eligible MSE service providers may therefore wish to examine the preference provisions before submitting their financial offer.

From a financial perspective, the estimated procurement value is ₹28.14 lakh, while the specified EMD is ₹84,429. Bidders should not treat the estimated value as the price ceiling because the tender itself clarifies that the estimated value is primarily for purposes including EMD and eligibility-related calculations and does not determine the bidder's quoted price.

Editorial Note

This article has been prepared from the uploaded GeM bid document, the attached Scope of Work and the GeM General Terms and Conditions supplied with the tender materials. Where the tender documents do not provide a numerical threshold—such as minimum average annual turnover, net worth or minimum years of experience—this article states “Not specified” rather than introducing an assumed qualification criterion.

Bidders should always verify the live GeM bid, including any subsequent corrigendum, clarification, ATC attachment or amendment, before submitting an offer. GeM conditions also provide that applicable bid-specific ATC and service-specific conditions can govern where they differ from general provisions.
