Tender at a Glance

*The uploaded GeM document is dated 01 September 2026. It is appropriate to describe this as the bid/document date; the document does not separately label it as a “publishing date.” The GeM GTC states that e-bidding invitations are published on GeM.

1. Scope of Work

The tender is for providing CAT III Vibration Analysis Training to three personnel of GTTT(V). The training is an advanced professional programme and is required to be delivered by qualified personnel.

The SLA identifies the following principal training areas:

1. Signal Processing
2. Windowing
3. Time Waveform Analysis
4. Phase Analysis
5. Diagnosing Faults with Phase Analysis
6. Dynamics and Resonances
7. Operating Deflection Shape Analysis
8. Modal Analysis
9. Correcting Resonance and Reduced Vibration
10. Journal Bearing Analysis and Orbit
11. Gearbox Analysis
12. Electric Motors
13. Balancing

The SLA also requires an ISO CAT IV-certified instructor for conducting the CAT III course, with reference to ISO 18436-2 and ISO 18436-6. Participants are to receive ISO 18436-accredited Category III Vibration Analyst certification after successful completion of the certification examination. The SLA specifies five days of training.

The GeM technical specification further describes the service as CAT III Vibration Analysis Training for 03 Personnel, advanced level, with certification, qualified CAT IV instructors, lodging and boarding capacity and post-training support.

Training Configuration

The GeM bid indicates:

1. Mode: Offline
2. Frequency: Weekdays
3. Training duration per day: 8 hours
4. Training premise: Service provider's location
5. Number of trainees: 3
6. Certification: Yes
7. Certification programme: OEM Certificate
8. Training partner: Qualified CAT IV instructors
9. Lodging and boarding capacity: Yes
10. Post-training support: Yes

The GeM additional requirement indicates approximately 3 batches, approximately 7 days per training, and one student per batch. This differs from the SLA's explicit five-day training provision, so bidders should carefully review the applicable bid attachments and seek clarification during the pre-bid process rather than assuming that the two figures are interchangeable.

2. Professional / Technical Qualification Criteria

The tender's Technical Evaluation Criteria are particularly important for prospective bidders.

According to the TEC matrix, the firm is expected to demonstrate:

A. Relevant Technical Experience

The firm should have a minimum of 5 years' experience in Noise & Vibration Analysis.

The broader GeM qualification criterion also requires 5 years of past experience in providing the same or similar service. The GeM requirement specifies experience in providing similar services to Central/State Government organisations or PSUs, with relevant contracts/orders uploaded as evidence.

B. CAT IV Qualified Instructor

The bidder must have access to CAT IV qualified instructors capable of conducting the CAT III Vibration Analysis training.

C. MOBIUS Authorisation

The TEC specifically refers to a MOBIUS authorisation certificate in the name of the firm. The TEC also states that no third-party certification is to be accepted for this qualification.

D. Certification

The training is required to include certification, and the SLA specifies ISO 18436-accredited Category III Vibration Analyst certification following successful completion of the certification examination.

3. Eligibility Criteria

The key eligibility requirements identified from the bid documents are:

1. Bidder should be an eligible GeM seller/service provider.
2. Minimum 5 years' relevant experience.
3. Relevant experience should relate to the same/similar services.
4. Experience evidence should include relevant contracts/work orders.
5. The TEC requires experience in Noise & Vibration Analysis.
6. The TEC matrix indicates that similar contracts with Armed Forces, State/Central Government, PSUs or reputed MNCs are relevant.
7. The firm should not have been blacklisted, as reflected in the technical evaluation requirements.
8. Relevant income-tax details are required.
9. PAN and registration-related documentation are required.
10. Bank details with ECS information are required.
11. MSE purchase preference is available subject to the stated GeM conditions, but the bid specifically provides no MSE relaxation for experience and turnover.

The GeM bid expressly states that MSE and Startup relaxation for experience and turnover is No.

4. Financial Qualification Criteria

Minimum Average Annual Turnover

The GeM bid specifies a minimum average annual turnover of ₹2 lakh for three years.

The bidder must support turnover through certified audited balance sheets or a certificate issued by a Chartered Accountant/Cost Accountant. The GeM qualification provision also states that where a bidder has been incorporated for less than three years, the average turnover for completed financial years after incorporation may be considered.

TEC Turnover Requirement

The TEC matrix separately states that the annual turnover of the firm should be ₹2,00,000 during the last two financial years.

Because the GeM bid detail and TEC matrix use different reference periods, bidders should treat this as an area requiring careful compliance. A conservative compliance approach would be to demonstrate ₹2 lakh annual turnover for both the relevant two-year period and the GeM three-year average requirement, wherever applicable.

Net Worth

No minimum net worth requirement is stated in the uploaded tender documents reviewed.

Therefore, SkillCouncils.com should not publish a specific net-worth amount as a mandatory criterion for this tender.

5. EMD, Tender Fee and Performance Security

EMD

The GeM Bid Detail clearly records:

EMD Required: No.

Therefore, the current GeM bid does not require an EMD.

There is a potentially confusing reference in the TEC matrix concerning an EMD amount and exemption for certain registered entities. However, the actual GeM Bid Detail expressly records EMD as “No.” In addition, GeM GTC provides that bid-specific EMD requirements are reflected in the bid detail. Accordingly, the GeM bid detail should be treated as controlling for the present bid, subject to any subsequent corrigendum.

Tender Fee

No tender fee/bid participation fee is specified.

In fact, the GeM GTC states that asking for a tender fee/bid participation fee is not permitted under the relevant GeM provisions.

ePBG / Performance Security

The bid specifies:

1. ePBG: 5%
2. Duration: 14 months
3. Advisory Bank: State Bank of India

The SLA also refers to a performance bank guarantee equivalent to 5% of the total agreement value, valid for 14 months from commencement of the contract.

6. Submission Guidelines

The bid itself says that the estimated bid value, where indicated, is intended for guidance on EMD and eligibility-related criteria and is not to determine the bidder's quoted price. However, the amount itself is not visible in the uploaded GeM bid extract reviewed.

It also identifies CAT IV instructor qualification and MOBIUS authorisation as technical requirements.

Important: The bid document lists specific documents requested through the ATC, including experience, bidder turnover, certificate, OEM authorisation, OEM annual turnover and an additional document.

10. Tenderer's Key Compliance Risks

From a tender-consultancy perspective, bidders should pay particular attention to the following:

1. Experience is a critical qualification

The five-year experience requirement is repeated in the GeM bid and technical documentation. A bidder should not rely only on a general training-company profile; documentary evidence of relevant assignments is important.

2. CAT IV/MOBIUS credentials are important

The technical matrix goes beyond generic training-provider eligibility and specifically refers to CAT IV qualified instructors and MOBIUS authorisation.

3. Turnover periods need careful checking

The GeM bid states ₹2 lakh average annual turnover for three years, while the TEC matrix refers to ₹2 lakh annual turnover for the last two financial years. A prudent bidder should prepare evidence satisfying both formulations.

4. EMD should not be paid

The GeM Bid Detail expressly says EMD Required: No.

5. Do not add an assumed tender fee

The tender fee is not payable. GeM's GTC also restricts the asking of tender/bid participation fees.

6. Pre-bid clarification is important

The difference between the SLA's five-day training duration and the GeM additional requirement showing approximately seven days should be clarified before bid submission.
