No,everything is decided based on IAF requirements not the other way around.

Don't confuse this tender with MTA, this is preliminary for civilian use and MTA is not.

So what other tender, requirement is there that being mentioned of a medium transport aircraft, that Reliance and Uks want to pitch to HAL?

HAL is done with the NAL project and possibly open to looking at outsourced designs like the AN 158, AN 178? This was supposed to a in-house design.
