Tender Fee

₹15,000

The RFP document fee is non-refundable and is to be paid online through the MP e-Procurement Portal.

EMD / Bid Security

₹5,00,000

The EMD is to be paid online through the MP e-Procurement Portal. The RFP states that a bid not accompanied by compliant bid security may be treated as non-responsive.

EMD Exemption

The supplied RFP does not specify a general EMD exemption provision. Therefore, bidders should not assume exemption merely on the basis of MSME/Udyam or another status unless a subsequent official corrigendum or clarification expressly provides it.

Submission Guidelines

Bidders must register on mptenders.gov.in and obtain the required Digital Certificate for electronic submission/signing of the financial proposal.

   • Backward Class,
   • Minority Class, or
   • Both.

Important date discrepancy to note

The RFP's bidding data sheet specifies 15 October 2026 up to 6:00 PM as the online bid deadline, while the hard-copy schedule states submission through 16 October 2026 up to 6:00 PM. These dates should be checked against the latest notification/corrigendum on the MP Tender Portal before submission.

Important Tender Dates

The pre-bid meeting is scheduled at the office of the Director, State Level Employment and Training Centre, Bhadbada Road, Bhopal.

Technical Evaluation and QCBS Method

The tender uses Quality and Cost Based Selection (QCBS).

The RFP provides:

1. Technical component: 70%
2. Financial component: 30%

The technical proposal is evaluated out of 90 marks, and a bidder needs at least 45 marks out of 90 to qualify for the presentation stage. The presentation/logical action plan carries up to 10 additional marks.

The final QCBS score is calculated using:

Final Score = 70% Normalized Technical Score + 30% Normalized Financial Score.

The financial bid must be submitted in the prescribed format and should not be included in the technical proposal.

Estimated Cost / Tender Value

The supplied RFP does not state a single overall estimated tender cost in the bidding data sheet.

It does, however, provide budget information for FY 2026-27, including:

1. Backward Class: ₹15 crore
2. Minority Class: ₹2.25 crore

For Cluster-I, the RFP shows an aggregate 18% budget allocation across Bhopal, Narmadapuram, Indore and Ujjain, with a tentative 1,194 trainees.

The maximum coaching fee is ₹20,000 per student for the entire course, but this should not be presented as the estimated tender value, because the RFP does not expressly designate it as such.

The accompanying BOQ file also does not provide a reliable single estimated tender value for this coaching RFP; therefore, no estimated tender cost has been inserted into this article.

Document Checklist for Bidders

Based on the RFP's Annexure 9.12 Checklist, bidders should prepare the following documents:

The RFP checklist on pages 46–47 specifically identifies the legal-entity, financial-strength, experience, selection-experience, space, infrastructure, faculty, logical-action-plan and annexure documents required for submission.

Important Note for Bidders

This summary is prepared from the uploaded RFP and accompanying BOQ. The RFP itself states that bidders should independently verify the accuracy, completeness and applicability of the information and should review subsequent amendments/corrigenda.

In particular, bidders should verify the online deadline and hard-copy deadline, as the RFP contains different dates for those two submission components. The latest information available on the MP e-Procurement Portal (mptenders.gov.in) should be treated as the operative source before submission.
