Mobile Computer Workstation — Quantity: 1. Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare. Government e-Marketplace bid.
The Department of Agricultural Research and Education (DARE) seeks a mobile computer workstation for field data collection and analysis. The tender is for the supply of the workstation only; any Indian vendor meeting the technical and turnover eligibility criteria may bid. ## Winning approach Offer a rugged, battery‑operated workstation with pre‑installed agricultural‑software suites and a warranty covering field conditions. - Demonstrated experience (or MSE/start‑up relaxation) in supplying similar mobile workstations to government agencies. - Provision of on‑site training and a 1‑year service agreement. ## Watch-outs for this tender - Verify that the vendor satisfies the turnover and experience thresholds; missing these will lead to disqualification. - Although the EMD is ₹0, ensure GST compliance and proper documentation of the workstation’s specifications. - Pay attention to any additional technical specifications (e.g., ruggedness, battery life) that may be detailed in the tender documents. ## Your edge Highlight any prior supply of mobile computing solutions to agricultural or research institutions and a strong after‑sales support network. ## How competitive No public award data exists for comparable mobile workstation contracts, indicating a small pool of qualified vendors that meet the turnover and experience requirements. ## What wins here Meeting the financial eligibility criteria, providing a workstation that can operate reliably in field conditions, and offering comprehensive training and support are decisive. ## How to stand out Emphasise a proven track‑record of delivering rugged workstations to government research bodies and a rapid‑response service model.

No recommended bid for this tender — and that's deliberate
GeM runs this as a reverse auction. The buyer never publishes an estimated contract value — bidders compete downward in a live round instead. There is no official figure to work from, so we don't invent one. A recommended bid built on a guessed value would look precise and be worthless.
How to price a reverse auction
You can't submit directly here — government bids must be filed on the official portal with a digital signature. Follow these steps, tailored to this tender:
Register on Government e-Marketplace (gem.gov.in)
Create a free bidder account on the portal where this tender is published. Use your firm's PAN and email. If you already have an account, just log in.
Get a Class-3 Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)
You cannot submit a government bid online without a DSC. Buy a Class-3 DSC from a licensed certifying authority (takes 1–2 days) and register it on the portal.
Keep your documents ready
This tender asks for: GST registration certificate, OEM authorization certificate, CA-certified turnover certificate, Past performance / completion certificates, MSE / Udyam certificate, Startup certificate, Bid security / EMD proof. Scan each as a clear PDF before you start — you'll upload them during bid submission.
Check the EMD in the tender document
The portal hasn't published an Earnest Money Deposit for this tender, so confirm the amount and how to pay it in the official document before you bid. It's refundable if you don't win, and your MSME/Udyam registration may give you an exemption.
Study the BOQ and prepare your price
Download the Bill of Quantities (BOQ) from the tender, fill your rates carefully, and cross-check totals. Use the profit estimate on this page as a sanity check — quote competitively but don't go below cost.
Fill the technical & financial bid
Complete the technical bid (your eligibility, documents, experience) and the financial bid (your price/BOQ) in the portal's forms. Double-check every figure.
Submit & sign before 21 August 2026
Upload all documents, attach your priced BOQ, sign with your DSC and submit. Do it at least a day early — portals get slow near the deadline. After 21 August 2026, submission closes.
This department hasn't published the contract value, so we can't estimate cost & profit yet. The EMD (deposit) and all other details are shown — open the official portal for the full BOQ.
