This is a substantial framework contract for dietary supplies to two boarding schools, totalling approximately Rs 77 million across thirteen commodity lots. The tender structure allows bidders to compete for individual lots, making participation accessible to suppliers specialising in specific categories. Quality and food safety take explicit precedence over price under the procurement rules, suggesting that compliant, certified suppliers with established track records in institutional catering will be favoured. The framework nature indicates recurring annual supply obligations beyond 2026-27, offering long-term business potential to successful vendors.

Who can bid: Bidders must be registered with Sales Tax and Income Tax Departments as required. Typically, suppliers of food and agricultural commodities must hold relevant business registration, valid health and food safety certifications appropriate to their product category (e.g. halal certification for meat, food handler licenses), and bank references. Financial soundness and prior experience in institutional or commercial food supply are expected.
