About the Pre-Bid Reply
ESIC HQ had earlier issued a Notice Inviting Tender (NIT) inviting PSUs to act as Project Management Agencies (PMC) for Construction of a 100-bedded ESIC Hospital at Ramagundam, Telangana on deposit mode basis. The tender is hosted on the Central Public Procurement Portal under Tender ID 2025_ESIC_848184_1.
At the pre-bid stage, prospective PMC bidders raised five substantive queries asking ESIC to relax the service-charge clause, ease the financial-strength clause, broaden PSU category banding, drop the GRIHA/LEED rating clause and reduce the 10% performance guarantee. On 23 September 2025, the office of the Chief Engineer (PMD) examined each query and issued a consolidated pre-bid replies notice meant for upload on the ESIC website from 23 September 2025 to 26 September 2025. ESIC's remark against every query is that the existing NIT conditions shall prevail.

Summary of Bidder Queries and ESIC's Position
Query | NIT Reference | Bidder's Request | ESIC's Remark |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | Pg 20, Clause 1.10 - Service Charge | Current tender does not specify any minimum percentage criterion, raising questions about consistency of evaluation | Refer Section-2, Instruction to bidders, Clause 1.10 - NIT conditions prevail |
2 | Pg 26, Clause 1(iii) of Section-3 - Bidder should not have incurred any loss in more than two of the last 5 consecutive balance sheets (audit for FY 2024-25 may not be complete) | Allow positive annual profit for 3 years (though not consecutive); recognise that FY 2024-25 audit may not be complete | Refer Section-3, Qualifying Criteria, Clause 1.iii and Clause 3.1.2 - NIT conditions prevail |
3 | Pg 29, Clause 3.2.2 - Navratna and above / Mini Ratna Cat 1 / Mini Ratna Cat 2 | Make the criterion more inclusive to foster wider participation and ensure transparency | NIT conditions prevail |
4 | Pg 31, Clause 3.3.3 - Awards/certification as per GRIHA/LEED Standards (number of completed Hospital/Institutional/Public-building/Office projects executed in last 7 years) | Omit the clause | NIT conditions prevail |
5 | Pg 44, Clause 4.0 - PSUs will submit Performance Guarantee/Security at 10% of approved estimated cost within 2 weeks of A/A&E/S, valid up to 1 year after completion | Reduce to 10% of PMC/Agency charges only (or 10% of total work value excluding PMC charges via sub-contractor) | NIT conditions prevail |
In every case, ESIC's reasoning is that the existing clauses reflect the agency's intent for the Ramagundam hospital scope and will not be relaxed at this stage.
What Bidders Should Do Next
PSU bidders preparing their PMC proposal for the Ramagundam hospital must continue to comply with the five clauses exactly as drafted - the service-charge clause (Pg 20, 1.10), the 5-year consecutive balance-sheet test (Pg 26, 1(iii)), the PSU category marking (Pg 29, 3.2.2), the GRIHA/LEED project-count clause (Pg 31, 3.3.3) and the 10% performance guarantee clause (Pg 44, 4.0).
Bidders without a complete FY 2024-25 audit must still meet the 5-year consecutive balance-sheet test using the available audited years. Similarly, bidders that lack qualifying GRIHA/LEED project counts continue to lose marks under Clause 3.3.3 - the notice confirms there is no relaxation forthcoming on this front for this tender.
