THDC India Limited has announced a call for bids through e-tendering from eligible bidders for the empanelment of technical consulting agencies. This initiative focuses on the preparation of feasibility reports for floating solar power projects at various locations across India over the next three years. The tender follows a two-part bid system: Part-1 for PQ and techno-commercial bids, and Part-2 for price bids.
Key details for the tender process include the last date for bid receipt, which is set for August 5, 2024, at 15:00 IST, with the bid opening scheduled for August 6, 2024, at 15:00 IST. Bidders are required to submit an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of Rs. 86,000. The validity of the bid extends to 180 days from the submission deadline.
The request for proposals (RFP) aims to empanel technical consulting agencies to develop feasibility reports for floating solar power projects across several states, including Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra.
The consulting agencies must provide bid security/EMD as part of their submissions. However, according to Government of India guidelines, bidders registered as Micro & Small Enterprises are exempt from the payment of bid document costs and EMD, provided they submit the necessary proof of eligibility.
This initiative marks a significant step towards expanding renewable energy infrastructure in India, promoting sustainable energy solutions across multiple states. THDC India Limited’s strategic move is expected to enhance the adoption of floating solar technology, leveraging the country’s diverse water bodies to generate clean energy.
