Tender Details
The parent tender on GeM (Bid Number GEM/2025/B/5846942) covers procurement of a Fixed Clean Agent Gas based Fire Suppression System at ESIC Hospital Rudrapur. The corrigendum was triggered because prospective bidders raised queries on the drawing of the area and panels to be covered. The hospital has now formally clarified the scope inside the corrigendum and put the responsibility for physical assessment on the bidder.
The corrigendum confirms three discrete assets that the suppression system must protect:
Substation panel located in the service block.
Data server rack of 42U capacity on the 2nd floor.
CCTV rack of 42U capacity on the ground floor.
Because no "As Built" or "General Drawing" is available with the hospital, all interested bidders are advised to visit ESIC Hospital Rudrapur for a physical inspection of the panels and racks to capture the dimensions, clearances and clean-agent volume calculation required for an accurate bid. The notice is issued with the approval of the Competent Authority.
Eligibility / Pre-Qualification
Bidders are advised to check the official notification for complete details. The corrigendum does not change the underlying eligibility laid down in the parent GeM bid GEM/2025/B/5846942; bidders must continue to satisfy the experience, turnover and OEM-authorisation requirements published in the original bid document.
What Bidders Must Do After the Corrigendum
Download the corrigendum PDF (162.52 KB) from the Important Links section above and read the clarification in full.
Open the parent bid GEM/2025/B/5846942 on the GeM portal and re-read the scope alongside the corrigendum.
Plan a physical inspection visit to ESIC Hospital Rudrapur to measure the substation panel in the service block, the 42U data server rack on the 2nd floor and the 42U CCTV rack on the ground floor.
Capture clean-agent volume calculation, cylinder count, nozzle layout, detection and actuation requirements based on the physical inspection.
Update the technical and financial bid on the GeM portal accordingly and re-upload before the parent bid cut-off.
Save a dated copy of the corrigendum for audit and compliance records.
Important Instructions
The corrigendum is binding on all bidders whether or not they download it separately; submission of a non-compliant bid risks technical rejection.
The hospital has no "As Built" or "General Drawing" - bidders must rely on a physical site visit to size the suppression system correctly.
The corrigendum lists three protected assets; the bid must address all three rather than only one location.
Any clarification beyond the corrigendum should be raised through the GeM portal against the parent bid GEM/2025/B/5846942 or routed to the Branch Officer, PMD, ESIC Hospital Rudrapur.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Skipping the site visit: The corrigendum explicitly advises a physical inspection - skipping it risks under-sizing the cylinders or nozzle layout.
Designing for one rack only: All three assets (substation panel, server rack, CCTV rack) must be in scope.
Assuming a generic drawing exists: The hospital has stated that no As Built or General Drawing is available - design from the actual site measurements.
Treating the corrigendum as optional: It forms part of the binding tender documents; ignoring it is a common rejection ground.
Final Words
The ESIC Rudrapur Fire Suppression Corrigendum 2026 dated 1 March 2025 clarifies that GeM bid GEM/2025/B/5846942 protects the service-block substation panel, the 2nd-floor 42U data server rack and the ground-floor 42U CCTV rack at ESIC Hospital Rudrapur, with bidders required to make a physical site visit because no As Built drawing is available. Eligible firefighting-system vendors must read the corrigendum in full, visit the site and submit their bid on the GeM portal before the parent cut-off.
