## Bid Considerations - SME Friendly: Explicitly noted as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, potentially reducing competition from large conglomerates. - Technical Specificity: Strict adherence to DEY specifications is critical; bidders must ensure all equipment meets these educational standards. - Logistical Risk: The requirement for installation and groundworks adds complexity and potential cost risks compared to simple supply contracts. - Mandatory Bundling: The requirement to bid for both the PE Lab and PE Hall lots simultaneously may deter suppliers unable to fulfill the full scope.
