They must have at least two years of relevant supply experience with supporting purchase orders and completion certificates. Prototype approval from Chief Engineer (S&S) NTDC is mandatory where applicable. Bidders must submit samples before bid submission deadline; late samples will lead to disqualification. The tender follows a National Single Stage-Two Envelope procurement method with Least Cost Based Selection (LCBS). Bids must be submitted electronically via EPADS v2.0 by June 8, 2026, 10:30 AM, with bid opening at 11:30 AM the same day.
