The Prayagraj Division of North Central Railway has floated two tenders to install 7 MW of grid-connected rooftop solar power systems.

The last day to submit the bids is August 12, 2024. Bids will be opened the same day.

The individual capacity of each system should be 5 kW, 10 kW, 20 kW, and 50 kW.

Selected bidders must install the systems within 60 days of receiving the work order.

Bidders should have completed three similar works, each costing at least 30% of advertised value, or two similar works, each costing at least 40% of advertised value, or one similar work costing not less than 60% of advertised value during the last seven years.

Bidders must have a minimum average annual contractual turnover of V/N or V, whichever is less, where V is the advertised value of the tender in crores of rupees and N is the number of years prescribed for the completion of the work for which bids have been invited.

The annual contractual turnover will be calculated as the average of the “total contractual payments” over the previous three financial years.
