The tender is issued by Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), Department of Telecommunications, for a cluster outsourcing maintenance contract covering landline and broadband networks, OFC routes, media equipment, BTS, towers, and associated power infrastructure in the Ayodhya BA of the UPE Telecom Circle (Faizabad, Uttar Pradesh). Estimated value is ₹123,709,741 with an EMD of ₹2,474,195. The scope targets ongoing operation and maintenance responsibilities across OFC routes and network elements, under a single tender in the Faizabad region. The absence of BOQ items suggests a broad maintenance and service-to-site approach rather than discrete equipment buys. This procurement is positioned within BSNL’s ongoing network stability and expansion program in Uttar Pradesh East. Bidders should prepare for deployment, field teams, and service-level coordination across multiple sites under a unified contract framework.
