EMD Exemption

The Buyer Added ATC states:

"The bid without a valid EMD will be summarily rejected, EMD Exemption Not Allow."

Accordingly, for this tender's bid-specific requirements, the website listing should show EMD Exemption: No.

Important tender-note: The uploaded GeM GTC contains general provisions concerning EMD exemptions for specified categories, while the bid itself records an EMD exemption setting/ATC. Bidders should therefore verify the current exemption status directly on the live GeM bid before submission rather than relying solely on a generic GeM provision. The bid document itself requires a valid EMD.

The tender allows EMD submission through:

1. Demand Draft
2. FDR
3. Bank Transfer

The EMD is to be in favour of Civil Surgeon, payable at Godda, Jharkhand, with scanned proof uploaded with the bid.

Tender Fee

Tender Fee: Not specified / No separate tender fee stated in the uploaded bid documents.

In addition, the GeM bid's standard disclaimer expressly identifies asking for any Tender Fee/Bid Participation Fee as a prohibited condition under the cited GeM provisions.

For SkillCouncils.com, the safest published wording is:

Tender Fee: No separate tender fee mentioned in the tender document.

Professional Tender Analysis

From a tender-compliance perspective, bidders should pay particular attention to the distinction between the GeM online submission and the physical submission requirements for EMD and specified documents. The bid requires scanned proof of the EMD with the online bid, while the ATC separately prescribes physical submission of the EMD, declaration and affidavit after bid closure.

The tender also makes the training provider responsible for venue arrangements, practical training infrastructure, attendance, reporting, meals, kit distribution and successful completion of the three-day programme. These requirements should be factored into the bidder's technical and financial planning.

The buyer has also retained an option clause allowing the contract quantity or duration to be increased or decreased by up to 50%, subject to the conditions stated in the bid. For a lump-sum service contract, the scope and contract value may also be increased up to 50% with the service provider's consent.
