As for performance security, a bank guarantee of Rs 5 lakh or more is required to be submitted.

To be eligible for the bidding process, the bidder must have completed a similar project worth 50% of the annualised value of work put out to tender for more than one year, or a contract worth 50% of the estimated value of work for one year during the past seven years.

The annual value of the work will be calculated by multiplying the estimated value/completion period in days by 365.

The goods, services, or works of Class-II local suppliers are available for purchase, with local content equal to or greater than 20% but less than 50%.

The subsidiary of Coal India Limited (CIL) has also asserted that 25% of the tendered quantity has been set aside for micro and small businesses (MSEs).

MSEs owned by scheduled caste and scheduled tribe entrepreneurs are eligible for 4% of the 25% reserved for MSE suppliers, while MSEs owned by women are eligible for 3%.

The contractor must guarantee 98% plant availability, subject to grid availability, with a 75% performance ratio guaranteed and a capacity utilisation factor of 13 to 15 % annually.
