The annual maintenance contract is estimated to cost Rs 1,09,17,000, equivalent to 10.917 million (mn), and will be completed over a period of 425 days.

The tender is open to both enlisted and unenlisted contractors, subject to eligibility conditions. Enlisted contractors must hold Class 'B' or above registration under category 'b(ii)'; firms with Class 'B' status and a valid memorandum of understanding or recognised solar ratings between 1A and 2C from agencies such as CRISIL, CARE Ratings or ICRA are eligible.

Foreign firms are not permitted to bid, though Indian firms with foreign directors or nationals abroad may be considered subject to security clearance.

Interested bidders must submit a tender fee of Rs 1,000 by demand draft or banker’s cheque payable to the Garrison Engineer Panagarh, and provide an earnest money deposit of Rs 2,18,500.
