Tender Key Details

The GeM bid document records the closing time as 14 September 2026 at 15:00 hours and opening at 15:30 hours, with a 90-day bid validity. The bid document itself is dated 02 September 2026.

Important: The NIT says that the NIT date and detailed submission schedule are as per the GeM Portal. Therefore, the 02 September 2026 date should be described as the GeM bid-document date, while the live GeM portal should be treated as the controlling source for any subsequent corrigendum or extension.

Scope of Work

The principal scope is to conduct 03 months / 480 hours of job-oriented skill development training for rural youth of Durg Division through CIPET, Raipur, under the CSR Head 2026-27.

The programme covers two training streams:

1. MOPP – Machine Operator Plastic Processing: 40 participants
2. MOIM – Machine Operator Injection Moulding: 40 participants

Thus, the BOQ provides for 80 training slots in total, with 40 participants under each course.

Major responsibilities include

1. Identification of beneficiaries from Chhattisgarh, preferably nearby areas of Durg Division.
2. Final candidate selection in consultation with NSPCL Bhilai.
3. Verification of participant application forms.
4. Conduct of training at CIPET Campus, Raipur.
5. Three-month/480-hour training for each stream.
6. Course fee and training materials.
7. Uniform, shoes, bag and training kit.
8. Residential accommodation at CIPET Hostel.

11. To-and-fro transportation between Durg Division and Raipur.
12. Maintenance of trainee and staff attendance records.
13. Conduct of examinations by CIPET experts.
14. Submission of prescribed participant and training documentation.

The BOQ separately identifies the two 40-participant service items and requires the bidder to quote the total contract price on a lump-sum basis through GeM.

Trainee Eligibility

The tender documents prescribe the following eligibility requirements for beneficiaries/trainees:

1. Minimum educational qualification: 10th Pass and above.
2. Age: 18–30 years.
3. Age relaxation applies to reserved-category beneficiaries as per applicable rules.
4. Beneficiaries are to be identified from Chhattisgarh, preferably nearby areas of Durg Division.

These are trainee eligibility conditions, not bidder qualification criteria.

Professional Qualification / Bidder Eligibility Criteria

This tender requires careful distinction between the general tender documentation and the specific participation restriction.

The NIT records:

Qualifying Requirements for Bidder: NA.

It also specifically states that Class-I local suppliers are eligible to participate under the applicable Make in India provisions.

However, the Additional Terms and Conditions provide a more restrictive participation condition: the tender is a Single Tender (ST-GOVT) approved for M/s CIPET Raipur, and bidders other than those shortlisted/approved by the competent authority will not be considered.

Practical eligibility interpretation

For public-facing tender information, it is safest to state:

The tender does not prescribe a separate quantitative bidder QR for turnover, net worth or minimum years of experience. However, participation is restricted by the Single Tender (ST-GOVT) approval in favour of M/s CIPET Raipur. Other vendors not shortlisted/approved by the competent authority are not eligible for consideration.

This distinction is important because a generic statement such as "any eligible training agency can bid" would not accurately reflect the tender's ATC.

Financial & Qualification Criteria

The GeM bid specifically records EMD: Required – No and ePBG: Required – No. It also states that MSE purchase preference is available, with a 15% price band specified in the bid.

The bid record also says that MSE and Startup relaxation for experience and turnover is No.

Estimated Cost

The attached records do not provide a reliable numeric estimated contract value. The GeM material refers to an "Estimated Bid Value" for purposes including eligibility and EMD guidance, but no usable rupee amount is stated in the available tender information.

Recommendation for SkillCouncils.com: Do not publish an estimated-cost figure unless it is confirmed from the live GeM bid.

Tender Fee, EMD and Security

EMD

EMD is not required. The GeM bid explicitly records "Required: No" for EMD and also records ePBG as not required.

Therefore:

1. EMD Amount: Nil / Not Required
2. EMD Exemption: Not applicable
3. EMD Payment Mode: Not Applicable
4. ePBG: Not Required

Tender Fee

No tender fee amount is prescribed in the tender records supplied for this article. Further, the GeM bid documentation states that asking for a Tender Fee / Bid Participation Fee is not permitted under the relevant GeM conditions.

Accordingly, SkillCouncils.com should publish:

Tender Fee: Nil / No Tender Fee Payable as indicated in the available bid documents.
