Quantity allocation against regular order

(i) The Purchaser reserves the right to distribute the procurable

quantity on one or more of the eligible tenderers. Zone of
consideration of such eligible tenderers will be the right of
the Purchaser.

(ii) (a) Whenever such distribution/ splitting of the tendered/

procurable quantity is made, the quantity distribution will

9
 depend (in an inverse manner) upon the differential of rates
quoted by the tenderers (other aspects i.e. adequate
capacity cum – capability, satisfactory past performance of
the tenderers, outstanding orders load for the Railway
making the procurement, quoted delivery schedule vis-à-vis
the delivery schedule incorporated in the tender enquiry etc.
being same/similar) in the manner detailed in the table
below:

Price differential between Quantity distribution ratio

L1 and L2 between L1 and L2
Upto 3% 60:40
More than 3% and upto 5% 65:35
More than 5% At least 65% on the L1 tenderer.

(b) If splitting of quantity is required to be done by ordering

on tenderers higher than the L2 tenderers, then the
quantity distribution proportion amongst the tenderers will
be decided by transparent/ logical/ equity based
extrapolation of the model as indicated in Para (ii) (a)
above.

(c) The purchaser reserves the right to counter offer the

lowest acceptable rate for bulk ordering to the higher
tenderer(s). In the event of rejection of such counter
offer(s), the purchaser will reserve their right to decide on
the quantity distribution ratio/proportion.

(iii) The rate of the highest eligible tenderer within the zone of
consideration has to be, per se, reasonable to the
Purchaser.

(iv) In the cases of inadequate capacity-cum-capability,

dissatisfactory past performance, large quantity of
outstanding orders (liquidation of which will take very long
time) etc, the Purchaser shall have the right to distribute the
procurable quantity amongst tenderers with due
consideration to these constraints and in such a manner as
would ensure timely supply of materials in requisite quantity
to meet the needs of operation, maintenance, safety etc. of
the Railways, regardless of inter-se ranking of the tenderers
and in a fair and transparent manner with due conformity to
the Principle of Natural Justice and Equity.

supplies will commence not later than (15days/ 30days/ 45days) after
the placement of supply order. If the quotation reads that the supplies
will commence not later than 30-60 days after placement of supply
order, then the calculation of delivery period will be on the basis that
supplies will commence not later than 45 days after the placement of
supply order.

10.3 The Tenderers should indicate a specific quantity of minimum

supplies per month. If a range is indicated say 1000-2000 MTs per

accordingly.
