7 Oct 2026Bilaspur has invited bids for high Strength Deformed Steel Bars and Wires for Concrete Reinforcement (V2) Isi Marked to Is, in All India.
The work is worth about ₹9,00,000 (a value we've verified against the official document). As a rough guide, typical supply & goods costs would run near ₹7,83,000, leaving roughly ₹63,000–₹1,44,000 (7–16%) — but that's a category estimate, not this tender's actual costs, so price from the official BOQ before you bid. You'll need to block ₹9,000 as a refundable deposit (EMD) just to bid — that's about 1% of the contract, returned if you don't win.
On the smaller side, so even lean outfits with the working capital to procure and deliver the goods before payment clears can compete. On our rough estimate the margin looks healthy enough to absorb the usual surprises. The main thing you must have to bid is minimum average annual turnover of ₹4 Lakh, plus past experience required: 3 Year (s).
