All important dates as they stand after corrigenda: publication, pre-bid/clarification deadline, bid submission deadline, bid opening, and bid validity period.
Bid document dated/published 09-07-2026; online bid closes 23-07-2026 at 15:00 and opens 23-07-2026 at 15:30. Bid validity is 120 days from the bid end date. No pre-bid meeting or clarification deadline is specified in the supplied tender documents.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
No tender value/estimated cost is disclosed. No tender document or participation fee is payable; the bid itself states that asking for such a fee through ATC is invalid.
Monetary EMD is not required. Nevertheless, the bidder must submit the prescribed Bid Security Declaration on company letterhead; withdrawal/modification during validity, breach, or refusal to start the award may lead to IOCL debarment/holiday listing. Instrument form and validity are therefore not applicable.
No ePBG/performance security is required; amount, form and validity are not applicable.
100% payment is due within 30 days after issue of CRAC and online bill submission, superseding the GeM GTC's 10-day term. MSME sellers may use TReDS, subject to registration on an exchange used by the Buyer.
Quote an all-inclusive free-delivery-at-site price, including loading/unloading and any required site services. GST reimbursement is limited to actual/applicable rate, whichever is lower, capped at the quoted GST percentage.
Every pass/fail eligibility and qualification requirement: experience and past performance, turnover/net worth, registrations and certifications, consortium/JV rules, and debarment or blacklisting conditions.
For orders executed during the prescribed five-year look-back, demonstrate supply of communication cable through either one similar order of at least Rs. 5,96,000, two similar orders each at least Rs. 4,77,000, or three similar orders each at least Rs. 3,58,000. Values are landed cost inclusive of all taxes, duties and charges.
Submit the purchase order plus one linked execution proof: invoices with self-certification of successful supply, a bank payment certificate, or a client execution certificate showing executed value. Complete client name, address, phone and email are also required for verification.
Do not rely on an experience exemption without written Buyer confirmation. The main bid fields say MSE and startup relaxation is 'No', while the commercial PQC table says no prior experience is required with valid DPIIT/Udyam certificates. The tender disclaimer prohibits ATC clauses that contradict the bid-detail fields; the conservative pass/fail position is to meet the general experience thresholds.
A bidder from a country sharing a land border with India is eligible only if registered with the Competent Authority; the signed undertaking is mandatory and registration evidence must be attached where applicable. False declaration permits immediate termination and legal action.
Submit the prescribed declarations covering IOCL/MOPNG blacklist or holiday-list status, pending corrupt/fraud inquiries, insolvency/liquidation/bankruptcy status, and one-bid-only compliance. A false declaration can cause rejection/termination and holiday listing; all multiple bids are rejected.
An MSE claiming purchase preference must hold a valid Udyam Certificate, be validated online, and be the manufacturer/OEM of the offered product; traders/resellers are excluded. Eligible MSE OEMs within L1+15% may match L1 for up to 25% of quantity.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Item-wise procurement comprises 20,000 metres of 12-core single-mode OFC, 25 pieces/boxes of UTP Cat 6 cable (305 metres per box), and 200 UTP Cat 6 patch cords of 3 metres. Evaluation and award are schedule/item-wise.
Deliver all three schedules within 90 days from the GeM contract date to Indian Oil Corporation Ltd., Panipat Refinery, PO Bohali, Panipat 132140. Delivery time is treated as essential, and IOCL may reject a deviating period after one chance to accept its requirement.
Supply armoured HDPE-jacketed 12-fibre single-mode OS2 cable, multitube construction, generally conforming to IEC 60793-1 and IEC 60793-2, with metre marking, specified mechanical/temperature limits, type-test evidence, and minimum one-year warranty.
Perform end-to-end OTDR testing of each OFC bundle at site and submit the report at no extra cost. Failure of any core causes rejection of the entire cable, which must be replaced without extra cost.
Cat 6 cable uses solid bare-copper 23 AWG conductors and must conform to ANSI/TIA/EIA-568C.2 latest or ISO/IEC 11801 Class E. The 3-metre patch cord uses 26 AWG bare-copper conductors, RJ-45 gold-plated connectors, supports 10/100/1000 Mbps, and conforms to ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 and ISO/IEC 11801.
The bid labels the procurement 'Only supply of Goods', but the technical annexure adds on-site OTDR testing. The Purchaser may decrease or increase award quantity by up to 25%, and may later increase contracted quantity by up to 25% at contract rates with formula-based additional time.
The complete checklist of documents to submit — mandatory vs conditional, with any prescribed formats, proformas or annexures — plus how to submit: portal and mode, envelope/cover structure, digital signature requirements, signing and attestation rules, and physical originals with their deadline.
Submit the bid and all supporting documents online on the GeM Portal as a Two Packet Bid. Keep every price element exclusively in the financial bid; mentioning price in the technical bid makes the offer non-responsive.
All IOCL undertakings and all pages of the technical specifications must be duly filled, signed and stamped. GeM e-sign is legally at par with a digital signature; no separate DSC class is specified.
No physical original is required as a pre-condition to qualify; the checklist expressly requires online GeM submission, and the bid warns that mandating physical qualification documents is prohibited. Post-award invoice/dispatch originals are separate contract-administration requirements, not bid documents.
Every corrigendum/addendum in order — what changed (original vs amended value), its impact, and the action for the bidder — ending with the values that finally apply.
The AI found nothing to report for this question.
Genuine conflicts within and across the documents (original vs corrigenda, clause vs annexure, tender document vs BOQ): both sides with citations, and which value prevails.
The bid-detail fields explicitly say no MSE or startup relaxation, but the commercial PQC table says MSE/startup bidders need no prior experience with valid certificates. The same bid warns ATC cannot contradict bid-detail fields. No corrigendum resolves this; conservatively meet the general PQC and seek written confirmation before relying on exemption.
The bid schedule orders 20,000 metres of OFC, while the technical annexure instructs supply in '6 x 2000 meter' lengths, totaling only 12,000 metres. The 20,000-metre schedule quantity governs commercial quantity, but the drum count/length is unresolved and requires Buyer clarification before pricing and manufacture.
The main bid says 'Only supply of Goods', but the technical annexure requires site end-to-end OTDR testing and a report at no extra cost. The item-specific technical requirement should be priced and performed, but site access, equipment and witnessing responsibilities should be confirmed.
Page 1 assigns 0180-2522382 to Sunil Kumar, while page 13 gives Sunil Kumar 0180-2522388 and assigns 0180-2522382 to Gautam Chowdhry. The later, task-specific contact table is more detailed, but bidders should use email or confirm the number.
Only critical, tender-specific pre-bid queries that could materially change bid/no-bid, pricing, eligibility or contractual risk. Skip generic or obvious questions the documents already answer clearly.
Please confirm whether MSE/startup bidders are exempt from prior experience. The portal bid fields say 'No' relaxation, but the Commercial PQC table grants exemption against DPIIT/Udyam certificates; this changes pass/fail eligibility.
Please issue the exact drum schedule for the 20,000-metre OFC order. Does IOCL require ten drums of 2,000 metres, six drums of 2,000 metres plus balance lengths, or another configuration? The current '6 x 2000' instruction totals 12,000 metres.
Please confirm whether the seller must provide OTDR equipment, technicians, connectors/termination, power and test setup; identify IOCL's witnessing/acceptance procedure and whether the 90-day period includes testing and report acceptance. This affects price and completion risk despite the 'supply only' label.
Please confirm that a bid-specific OEM authorization is mandatory even for an OEM-verified GeM reseller/Q1-Q2 product. The technical annexure mandates it, while GeM GTC says Buyer need not seek it for OEM-verified catalogues and Q1/Q2 products.
Commercial, legal and execution risks a bidder should weigh: liquidated damages and penalties, unusual or one-sided clauses, tight timelines, and payment or security risks.
Delivery time is of the essence. Delay attracts LD at 0.5% of the contract value of delayed quantity per week or part, capped at 5% of total contract value; delay beyond 25% of the completion period is 'inordinate' and may take maximum deduction to 10%. Buyer may cancel the unsupplied portion after the delivery date.
Any one defective core in site OTDR testing causes rejection of the entire cable and replacement at seller cost. This creates high whole-drum replacement and logistics exposure.
Payment starts only after CRAC and online billing. Rejected goods receive no payment and must be removed within 10 days at seller cost, failing which ground rent/warehousing and risk-cost disposal may apply. The bid extends payment timing to 30 days.
IOCL may place an order while PQC documents remain under verification; in that event payment is made only after completion of the order. Forged/false PQC can cause rejection, termination and holiday listing/suspension.
IOCL may vary award quantity by ±25% and later increase contracted quantity by up to 25% at the same rates. Additional delivery time follows the stated formula and may be only 30 days minimum, creating capacity and price-lock exposure.
Free delivery includes loading/unloading. Refinery entry requires arrival before 08:00 on a working day for same-day unloading, spark arrestor and fire extinguisher on the vehicle, safety shoes/helmets for driver and cleaner, and excludes CNG/two-stroke vehicles.
Although no monetary EMD/ePBG is required, the declaration exposes the bidder to debarment/holiday listing for bid withdrawal/modification, other qualifying breach, or refusal/failure to initiate execution.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
