- Local Partner is a must!
How did we select our Partner?
- Current activity in BSNL and success rate in BSNL tenders
- Presence in Delhi
- Ability to execute complicated projects
- Financially stable company
- Agreed MOU to be signed before tender, includes:
- Financials terms
- Responsibilities of each Party during the tender process, project implementation, support during the project life cycle
- Final contract will be based on MOU agreed terms
Tendering Process (1)
- Alvarion lost earlier BSNL WiMAX tender due to Indoor BST price (2008 tender)
- Discussion with BSNL to modify the spec so it can suit our Outdoor BST
- Tender release, vendors meeting and tender clarifications, submission (25.8.2009)
- Tender technical evaluation by BSNL ( technical compliance)
- Bid price opening and bid price evaluation
Tendering Process (2)
- Bid price results:
- Aster, India &Runcom – Israelrejected due to no Wave-2 certificate
- In order to get the PO from BSNL , the price of L2,3,4 should be reduced to L1 price
Tender Award
- LOI was issued by BSNL on late 2009 . In order to get the PO, bidder should open the PBG.
- Gemini- got the LOI
- ZTE – got the LOI
- ICOMM – got the LOI
- VMC – no LOI was issued
- Some legal issues related to custom declaration in other projects were raised against VMC. This put our project on hold .
- BSNL can’t issue the LOI as long as there is an open investigation.
- L5 (Spanco) did its outmost to get the LOI instead of VMC.
- Issue was resolved at 2010 year end and LOI was issued to VMC.

Lessons Learned
- Know the customer, their roll, requirements, people
- Know your Partner
- Do not rely only on your Partner- have direct channels to the customer
- Conflict of interest with the Partner (bid control)
- Define responsibilities properly. Commit to what we can deliver (contract)
- Do not leave the Partner by himself – do more than what is committed
- As a supplier of major project components, make sure that the project is successful
