SolidWorks Perpetual Licenses, Training, and Support for Engineering Design

This tender seeks the procurement of SolidWorks software licenses, accompanied by a one-year perpetual subscription and comprehensive training and support services, for the Indian Institute of Geomagnetism, operating under the Department of Science and Technology. The bid, numbered GEM/2026/B/8107378, is open for applications from October 1, 2026, at 5:13 PM, closing on October 22, 2026, at 6:00 PM. The awarded quantity is twenty (20) units. The scope of the specialized design tools encompasses a wide array of advanced functionalities critical for modern engineering and design processes. This includes robust capabilities in part and assembly modeling, generation of 2D drawings, specialized design tools for weldments, molds, and sheet metal applications, as well as manufacturability checks. Furthermore, the solution must facilitate ECAD/MCAD collaboration, leverage intelligent CAD libraries of industry-standard fasteners, and provide manufacturing cost analysis. Essential features also include CAD standards and drawings checking, electrical harness design, piping, tubing, and duct design, along with surface flattening. The software should integrate a virtual companion for mechanical design and knowledge transfer, offering advanced simulation tools such as linear static analysis for parts and assemblies, and time-based motion analysis. Crucially, the solution must support real-time cross-team collaboration in the cloud, secure data management, and version management. Additional functionalities expected include support for additive manufacturing, three-axis NC machining and machine simulation, sheet metal nesting and NC programming, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) capabilities, and photorealistic rendering. The procurement explicitly includes essential training and ongoing support to ensure optimal utilization of these sophisticated design and simulation tools. This tender is being managed from the Mumbai office.
