Overall Training Requirement

The GeM bid separately records approximately 8 batches, 20 students per batch and approximately 15 days per training, consistent with the attached detailed SOW.

Professional Qualification & Eligibility Criteria

The key qualification requirement is experience in providing similar services for 3 years.

The GeM bid states that similar-service experience is required and that MSE and Startup relaxation for years of experience and turnover is not provided in this bid.

Minimum Experience Requirement

The bidder must have experience in providing similar services for the required 3 years, with the experience period linked to the current financial year and the previous financial years ending in March before the bid opening.

The tender specifically requires similar services to Central Government organisations, State Government organisations or PSUs, with relevant contracts/orders to be uploaded in support of the experience.

Experience Value Criteria

The tender provides three alternative routes for demonstrating completed similar-service experience:

1. Three similar completed services, each costing at least 40% of estimated cost — approximately ₹2,00,000 each.
2. Two similar completed services, each costing at least 50% of estimated cost — approximately ₹2,50,000 each.
3. One similar completed service, costing at least 80% of estimated cost — approximately ₹4,00,000.

These monetary figures are calculated from the tender's stated estimated value of ₹5 lakh; the tender itself expresses the thresholds as percentages.

Financial Eligibility Criteria

Minimum Average Annual Turnover

Not specified in the available GeM Bid Document.

The tender refers to turnover in its general eligibility framework and states that bidders seeking exemption from turnover/experience criteria must submit supporting documents, but the available bid document does not state a specific minimum average annual turnover amount.

Net Worth

No specific minimum net worth requirement is stated in the available bid document.

Financial Price Breakup

A financial document indicating price breakup is required. The bid is evaluated on a total value-wise basis.

EMD, Tender Fee and ePBG

EMD

EMD is not required.

The GeM bid explicitly records:

1. EMD Required: No
2. ePBG Required: No

Therefore, bidders do not need to arrange an EMD for this particular bid.

EMD Exemption

Not applicable – EMD itself is not required.

For general GeM context, the current GTC provides EMD exemption provisions for eligible categories such as qualifying MSEs, DPIIT-recognised startups and certain other categories. However, because this specific bid has EMD Required: No, bidders should not treat exemption as a separate requirement for this tender.

Tender Fee

No tender fee / bid participation fee is required.

The bid's ATC disclaimer specifically states that asking for any tender fee or bid participation fee is not permitted under the applicable GeM framework.

EMD Mode

Not Applicable, as no EMD is required.

Important Tender Dates

The bid document clearly records the publication/dating as 03-09-2026, closing on 14-09-2026 at 18:00, opening on 15-09-2026 at 18:00, and bid validity of 60 days.

Tender Analysis: Key Points for Prospective Bidders

From a tender-compliance perspective, this is a relatively small-value but execution-intensive vocational training contract. The estimated value is only ₹5 lakh, but the scope requires delivery to 160 trainees across approximately eight batches, including trainers, training material, venue/facilities, participant coordination and related services.

The most important qualification hurdle is therefore past similar-service experience, rather than a stated turnover or net-worth threshold.

A bidder should pay particular attention to the following:

1. Experience is the principal eligibility filter

The tender requires three years of similar experience and sets completed-service value alternatives of 40%, 50% or 80% of the estimated cost.

2. MSE preference is available, but relaxation is not

The bid provides MSE purchase preference but specifically states that MSE experience and turnover relaxation is not provided. Startup experience/turnover relaxation is also not provided.

3. No EMD reduces the initial financial burden

The bid specifically states that EMD is not required and ePBG is also not required.

4. No tender fee

The applicable GeM conditions do not permit the buyer to impose a tender/bid participation fee through the ATC.

5. Physical submission should not be assumed

The tender is a GeM bid and the bid-specific ATC disclaimer states that mandating physical submission of documents as a pre-condition to qualification, other than specified exceptions such as EMD and signed Integrity Pact, is not permitted. Accordingly, bidders should follow the submission mechanism actually prescribed within GeM rather than sending unsolicited physical documents.

6. Buyer has a 25% option clause

The buyer can increase or decrease contract quantity or duration by up to 25%, subject to the conditions stated in the bid. For a lumpsum service contract, the scope and contract value may also be increased up to 25% with the service provider's consent.

. Three Years of Similar Experience Required

One of the most important eligibility conditions is the requirement for three years of experience in similar services. The tender requires bidders to demonstrate experience providing similar services to Central Government organisations, State Government organisations or PSUs.

Relevant contracts or orders are required to support the experience claim.

The completed-service experience can be demonstrated through one of three alternatives: three similar completed services worth at least 40% of the estimated cost, two similar completed services worth at least 50%, or one similar completed service worth at least 80%.

No EMD and No Tender Fee

A significant feature of this CCL GeM tender is that no EMD is required. The bid also records that ePBG is not required.

There is also no tender fee/bid participation fee. The bid's ATC provisions specifically identify asking for a tender or bid participation fee as an impermissible condition under the applicable GeM framework.

Turnover and Net Worth Not Specifically Stated

The available bid document does not prescribe a specific minimum average annual turnover figure or minimum net worth amount. Prospective bidders should nevertheless ensure that their GeM financial information is accurate and validated because GeM eligibility data can be based on information from government validation databases.
