The tender is for a rate contract involving survey, design, supply (excluding SPV modules), erection, testing, commissioning, and comprehensive operation and maintenance for five years of grid-connected rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) power projects. These installations will be carried out on various government buildings located in India’s Southern Region, which includes the states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and the Union Territories of Lakshadweep and Puducherry.
The total capacity for this contract is set at 1,140 kWp. The estimated tender value is ₹2.85 crore (₹285 lakh). The earnest money deposit (EMD) required for participating in this tender is ₹5,70,000, which is 2% of the estimated value. This amount can be submitted through a demand draft, RTGS, or bank guarantee. Additionally, there is a tender fee of ₹1,000, payable via demand draft or RTGS.
Interested bidders must submit their bids online only. The last date for submission of the tender is May 6, 2025, by 5:00 PM. The technical bids will be opened the following day on May 7, 2025, also at 5:00 PM. The offer validity will be 90 days from the last date of submission.
A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for April 24, 2025, from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM. This meeting can be attended either offline at REIL’s office in Jaipur or online via Google Meet.
Only companies or LLPs incorporated in India with experience in designing, supplying, and installing grid-connected solar power systems are eligible. They should have completed similar work in government buildings in the last seven years.
