Construction of temporary stores within the NMRC-accepted concepts constitutes the key work scope outlined in their tender document. A successful bidder will handle complete installation and control of the stores, along with maintenance to meet worldwide standards for quality, security, and pleasant appearance, according to the stated document.

All statutory obligations and essential permits apply to licensees who must also join NMRC-led promotional programs.
