The GeM technical specification further confirms that the training is offline, classroom-based, instructor-led, with study material, at the buyer's location, and at an advanced course level.

Professional Qualification Criteria

The attached Scope of Work contains specific requirements for the training institute and trainer.

Training Institute

The institute should:

  1. Be registered for conducting the relevant subject courses.
  2. Have at least 3 years' experience in the field.
  3. Have prior experience conducting the same course for a Central Government, State Government or PSU department.
  4. Provide documentary proof of the trainer's qualifications along with the technical bid.

The specified trainer profile includes:

  • 20 years' experience in Management Systems
  • 15 years' experience in Aerospace Management Systems

  • Experience as an AS 9100 trainer for organisations including CQLI and TUV, as stated in the attached scope document.

Tender advisory: These trainer-specific requirements are particularly important because the scope document expressly requires documentary proof of trainer qualifications with the technical bid.

Eligibility Criteria

The GeM bid establishes the following principal eligibility requirements:

Minimum Turnover

The bidder must have a minimum average annual turnover of ₹1 lakh for the last three years. The turnover is subject to verification by the buyer during technical evaluation.

Documentary evidence may include certified audited balance sheets or a certificate from a Chartered Accountant/Cost Accountant showing the relevant turnover.

Experience

The bid requires 3 years of past experience in providing similar services. Experience is to relate to services provided to a Central/State Government organisation or PSU, with relevant contracts/orders to be uploaded with the bid.

The bid additionally specifies the following alternative past-performance thresholds over the relevant three-year period:

  1. Three similar completed services costing at least 40% of estimated cost; or
  2. Two similar completed services costing at least 50% of estimated cost; or
  3. One similar completed service costing at least 80% of estimated cost.

Based on the stated estimated value of ₹1,94,700, these amounts work out to approximately:

Experience Route

Minimum Aggregate/Individual Value

3 similar completed services

₹77,880 each

2 similar completed services

₹97,350 each

1 similar completed service

₹1,55,760

These figures are mathematical calculations based on the percentages stated in the tender.

MSE and Startup Relaxation

The tender expressly provides complete relaxation for MSEs and DPIIT-registered startups from the specified experience and turnover criteria, subject to meeting the quality and technical requirements and submitting supporting documentation.

For MSE bidders, the tender provides relaxation from experience and bidder turnover requirements. DPIIT-registered startups are similarly provided relaxation, subject to the applicable conditions.

The tender also provides MSE purchase preference, with the stated preference band extending up to L1 + 15% and purchase preference applicable to up to 100% of the bid quantity/amount, subject to the conditions in the bid and applicable policy.

Financial Criteria

The principal financial requirement is:

Minimum Average Annual Turnover: ₹1 lakh for the last three years.

The tender does not specify any separate minimum Net Worth requirement. Therefore, SkillCouncils.com should not publish a numerical net-worth threshold for this tender.

The bidder must submit the required financial evidence for turnover verification. The tender specifically refers to audited financial statements or an appropriate certificate from a Chartered Accountant/Cost Accountant.

Tender Fee and EMD

Tender Fee

Tender Fee: Not applicable / Nil.

The GeM bid does not require a tender fee or bid participation fee. The applicable GeM GTC also states that asking for a tender fee/bid participation fee through an ATC is not permissible.

EMD

EMD Required: No.

The bid's EMD section expressly states that EMD is not required, and ePBG is also marked as not required.

The current GeM GTC also states that bids with an estimated value below ₹5 lakh have no bid-security requirement. Since this tender's estimated value is ₹1,94,700, no EMD is applicable under the bid.

Key Tender Analysis for Training Institutes

This tender is particularly relevant for AS 9100 training institutes, aerospace quality consultants, aviation and defence quality-system training organisations, and professional training service providers with established government/PSU experience.

The attached Scope of Work requires a trainer with extensive management-system and aerospace-management-system experience, AS 9100-related qualifications and significant AS 9100 Rev D consulting/training exposure.

The service itself is also relatively focused: one batch of 35 trainees, with approximately three days for each training component, conducted offline at the buyer's Bangalore location.

  1. Estimated value: ₹1,94,700 inclusive of taxes.
