2. Experience Documentation

The bidder is required to submit evidence supporting the experience criterion. Relevant work orders, contracts or similar documentary evidence should therefore be prepared before submission.

3. Technical Competence

The bid identifies a separate Technical Competence document among the additional qualification/data requirements. bid_9974427

4. Risk Mitigation Capability

A separate document relating to Risk Mitigation Capabilities is also identified in the tender documents. bid_9974427

5. ATC / Certificate Requirement

Eligibility Criteria

The tender establishes the following important eligibility conditions:

1. Minimum similar-service experience: 1 year.
2. The required experience is to be demonstrated through relevant contracts/orders.
3. The bidder must satisfy the technical and documentary requirements of the bid.
4. MSE relaxation for experience and turnover: No.

The bid also requires documents including Experience Criteria, Bidder Turnover, Certificate requested in ATC and OEM Annual Turnover. bid_9974427

Financial Qualification Criteria

An important point for prospective bidders is that the tender document requires a Bidder Turnover document and OEM Annual Turnover, but the available bid document does not specify a numerical minimum average annual turnover threshold.

Similarly, no specific net-worth threshold is stated in the available bid document.

Therefore, the figures should not be invented or inferred for publication.

Financial Requirement Table

The GeM bid explicitly records EMD: Required – No and ePBG: Required – No. bid_9974427

EMD, Tender Fee and Bid Security

EMD

No EMD is required under this particular bid.

The bid's EMD section expressly states that the requirement is No. bid_9974427

Tender Fee

No tender fee / bid participation fee is payable.

The applicable GeM GTC also states that buyer-added clauses asking for a tender fee or bid participation fee are not permitted. bid_9974427

EMD Mode

Since EMD is not required, there is no EMD payment mode applicable to this tender.

For context, GeM's general provisions describe acceptable forms of bid security where EMD is applicable, but those provisions do not create an EMD obligation where the individual bid expressly specifies that EMD is not required. gtc(7)

Submission Mode and Guidelines

Submission Mode: Online

The tender is a GeM e-bid and is structured as a Two Packet Bid. The bidder should therefore complete the required technical/documentary submission and financial bid through the GeM portal.

The bid document specifies:

1. Two Packet Bid.
2. Reverse Auction: No.
3. Technical clarification period: 2 days.
4. Total value-wise evaluation.
5. Bid validity: 30 days.
6. Online submission through GeM. bid_9974427

GeM's GTC also requires bidders to place price elements in the financial bid, rather than the technical bid, except where the applicable bidding format provides otherwise. gtc(7)

Document Checklist for Bidders

The following checklist can be used by bidders while preparing their GeM submission.

The buyer-added terms specifically mention PAN Card, Registration Certificate, Past Performance, Grampanchayat Konshi-Dabhil Visit Report and Grampanchayat Konshi-Dabhil Site Inspection Certificate. bid_9974427

Important Dates

The bid permits automatic extension where the specified conditions are triggered: minimum one bid to disable automatic extension, a three-day extension period and a maximum of one extension. bid_9974427

GeM's general conditions state that e-bidding invitations ordinarily provide at least 10 clear days between publication and the bid submission/opening schedule. gtc(7)

Estimated Tender Value

The attached supporting approval document indicates financial amounts associated with the proposed training activity, including amounts of approximately ₹40,000 and ₹20,000, giving an aggregate figure of ₹60,000.

However, this should be treated carefully for website publication: the six-page GeM bid document itself does not display a separate "Estimated Bid Value" field. Accordingly, SkillCouncils.com should describe ₹60,000 as the estimated/approved amount reflected in the attached supporting document, rather than representing it as a formally stated GeM estimated bid value.

This distinction is important for maintaining tender-information accuracy.

Tender Analysis: Key Points for Prospective Bidders

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

1. Experience is a mandatory focus area

The tender requires one year of experience in similar services, and the bid states that supporting contracts/orders should be uploaded. bid_9974427

2. MSE and Startup relaxation is not provided

The bid expressly marks both MSE and Startup relaxation for experience and turnover as No. bid_9974427

3. EMD is not applicable

No EMD is required under the specific bid.

4. No tender fee

The bid should not be represented as requiring a tender fee or participation fee. GeM's GTC specifically restricts such buyer-added requirements. bid_9974427

5. Financial thresholds should not be assumed

The bid asks for turnover-related documents but does not provide a clearly stated numerical minimum average annual turnover in the available document. No net-worth threshold is identified.

6. Site-related documents matter

The Buyer Added Terms specifically refer to a Grampanchayat Konshi-Dabhil Visit Report and Site Inspection Certificate, making these important compliance documents for bidders. bid_9974427

7. No Reverse Auction

The tender is not enabled for RA, so bidders should not expect a subsequent reverse-auction stage. bid_9974427

8. Payment timeline

The bid states that payment will be made within 45 days after issuance of the Service Delivery Acceptance Certificate (SDAC) and online submission of bills. bid_9974427
