Mineral Exploration And Consultancy Limited invites bids for the hire of two sets of gravimeter and magnetometer for a duration of 4 months at Nagpur, Maharashtra (440001). The project scope is service-based (custom bid) with an estimated value not disclosed. The tender emphasizes flexible contract quantity/duration up to 25%, and requires bidders to comply with standard procurement practices, including EMD submission and compliance with buyer terms. The engagement targets geophysical surveying capabilities with precise instrumentation deployment for field operations. The absence of BOQ items suggests the contract focuses on equipment provisioning, data collection, and on-site support. A key differentiator is the formalized EMD submission options via DD payable at Nagpur or online RTGS, with a 5-day hard-copy delivery after bid opening. Unique terms include non-transfer and non-sub-contract restrictions, reducing supplier dispersion risk.
