Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
No estimated tender value is printed in the available documents. No tender/document or bid-participation fee is stated; GeM expressly flags asking for such a fee as impermissible.
INR 10,92,074.00. Acceptable modes are DD, banker’s cheque, insurance surety bond, FDR, BG/e-BG, or IMPS/NEFT/RTGS. BG/FDR validity must be at least 2 months beyond bid validity; DD/banker’s cheque must be valid 3 months. Eligible exempt bidders submit Form F-2A instead.
5% of total order/contract value excluding taxes and duties, or 2.5% initial security within 30 days of FOA plus 2.5% invoice deductions until 5%. Initial CPS/SD/CPBG/ePBG validity including claim period is 35 months from FOA/PO and extends three months beyond DLP. Delay beyond 30 days may terminate the contract or attract SBI one-year MCLR + 4% p.a.
For Indian bidders, 90% of invoice value including transportation and 100% taxes/duties is paid progressively after receipt at the storage yard and required dispatch/inspection documents; balance 10% is due within 30 days after receipt and acceptance of complete materials against claim advice/supplementary invoice, legal indemnity bond and no-claim certificate. Payments target 30 days after complete documents; no interest is payable for delay.
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.
Sole bidder only; consortium bids are not applicable. Bidder must be either a line-pipe manufacturer or an authorized/accredited supplier of one qualifying manufacturer. One manufacturer may quote through only one supplier, and that supplier may offer only one manufacturer.
Manufacturer must hold a valid API 5L monogram licence for PSL-2 from the proposed mill; within the last 7 years it must have supplied (a) at least 1 km in one order of the same type and equal/higher diameter, wall thickness and grade, and (b) at least 7,050 m in one order of API 5L PSL-2/equivalent, grade X-46 or higher, same type, equal/higher diameter and minimum 6.4 mm wall thickness. API equivalence must satisfy SMYS, cold expansion (if applicable), fracture toughness and 100% weld-seam NDE.
Unaudited/non-reference mills require a Format-A capability certificate from a listed international inspection agency, issued within 12 months; an alternative GAIL demonstration certificate within 24 months is allowed where experience clauses (3)/(4) are unmet. The proposed coating plant must have completed one 3LPE contract for OD 8 inch or higher and at least 7,050 m under one contract in the last 7 years, and must submit a valid Format-E capability certificate; a GAIL demonstration certificate within 24 months is an alternative to coating experience.
Bidder must comply with the Domestically Manufactured Iron & Steel Policy 2025; absence of the prescribed affidavit causes summary rejection. GeM permits only Class-I/Class-II local suppliers, with minimum local content of 50%/20%. MSE and startup relaxations for experience/turnover are not allowed.
Minimum average annual turnover is Rs. 322.17 Lakhs over the three immediate preceding financial years; net worth must be positive in the last audited preceding financial year; minimum working capital is Rs. 64.44 Lakhs. If working capital is negative/inadequate, one bank (or banking syndicate) with net worth at least Rs.100 crores must provide a line of credit for the entire required working-capital amount.
Qualifying references require PO/contract/work order plus completion certificate, inspection certificate/release note or final-bill payment evidence. Technical BEC evidence must be attested by a Chartered Engineer and Notary Public; audited statements must be notarized and F-10 must carry CA signature/stamp and UDIN. Self-executed jobs do not qualify, except subsidiary/fellow-subsidiary/holding-company work supported by statutory-auditor-certified tax-paid invoices.
Bidder must not be ineligible for corrupt/fraudulent/collusive/coercive practices, on GAIL/PMC holiday, or government/PSU banned/blacklisted on the bid date; allied agencies must not be on GAIL/MoPNG banning lists. Bidders under insolvency resolution, liquidation or bankruptcy are not considered. Land-border-country bidders are eligible only with valid Competent Authority registration.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Manufacture and supply 23,500 m of 6-inch NB coated carbon-steel line pipe, API 5L PSL-2 latest edition, grade X-52, 6.4 mm wall thickness, plain/bevelled ends, HFW or seamless, with minimum 2.0 mm external 3LPE coating. The detailed MR/SOR gives OD 6⅝ inch (168.3 mm); BDS page 191 incorrectly prints 219.1 mm.
Scope includes manufacture/supply, QA/QC programme, approvals, inspection/testing and certification, marking, packing, dispatch clearance, transport, loading, unloading and stacking at the designated storage yards. Products require EN 10204 3.2 certification; vendor-appointed PNGRB-approved TPI inspection and GAIL/BANDR witnessing apply.
FOT-site delivery for GAIL CGD projects at Varanasi, Patna, Ranchi, Jamshedpur, Cuttack and Bhubaneswar. Exact storage-yard points and location-wise quantities are not fixed in the tender and will be issued at release/dispatch order; sites may be anywhere within each GA.
50% of awarded quantity within 12 weeks from FOA; balance within 20 weeks from FOA. Delivery is complete upon receipt at the designated GAIL store/storage yard.
Supply and transport are separately priced. GeM splits the 23,500 m transport line into four equal 5,875 m entries solely due to portal restriction; bidders must quote one common transport rate, and if rates differ the lowest is used for award. Buyer may vary bid/contract quantity by up to 25% under the GeM option clause.
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 only through GeM in two packets: Part-I techno-commercial/unpriced bid and Part-II price bid. Prices must be entered only in the GeM SOR/BOQ.
All bid pages must be signed/initialled by the authorized signatory holding valid POA. Bid and correspondence must be in English; non-English material requires an authenticated English translation by the Indian Chamber of Commerce.
Within 7 days from bid due date, deliver a sealed envelope to Sri Sandip Talukdar at BANDR, Kankaria Center (5th Floor), 2/1 Russel Street, Kolkata 700071. ITB requires originals of EMD/bid security, POA, Integrity Pact, line of credit if applicable, DMI affidavit and any other specified original, provided scans were uploaded by bid close. Online-transferred EMD has no original requirement.
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.
BDS table states 6⅝ inch as 219.1 mm, while the project-specific SOR/MR states 6⅝ inch as 168.3 mm. The detailed MR/SOR value 168.3 mm should prevail, but bidder should obtain written confirmation because this affects manufacturing and qualification.
BDS marks GCC Clause 38 Fall Clause as applicable, but the later project-specific SCC expressly says it is not applicable. SCC is the specific contract condition and should prevail: Fall Clause not applicable.
ITB 11.1.1(i) requires the statutory/cost-auditor or CA certification with Part-I, but the printed Form-2 is labelled ‘Not Applicable for this Tender’. Neither is a corrigendum; obtain clarification. Pending clarification, upload the self-certification and consider also uploading the auditor certificate to avoid a documentary rejection.
IFB Clause 4.0 lists only EMD/declaration and line of credit for originals, but ITB 11.1.1 and the envelope slip additionally include POA and Integrity Pact, and ITB also makes the DMI affidavit an original. Follow the broader ITB list and submit all five applicable originals within 7 days.
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 that Item A is 6⅝-inch OD = 168.3 mm (as in SOR/MR), and issue a correction to the BDS entry of 219.1 mm; also confirm BEC comparisons will use 168.3 mm.
Please confirm SCC 21.1 prevails and GCC Clause 38 Fall Clause is not applicable, despite the BDS tick showing it applicable.
Please confirm whether Annexure-II Form-2 auditor/CA local-content certificate must be uploaded, because ITB 11.1.1(i) requires it but the printed form says not applicable.
Please provide expected quantity split and indicative storage-yard locations/distances for all six GAs, or a pricing adjustment mechanism, because bidders must quote one common transport rate while quantities may vary and sites can be anywhere within each GA.
Please confirm the physical originals required within 7 days—EMD/declaration, POA, Integrity Pact, line of credit if applicable, and DMI affidavit—and confirm that 12.08.2026 is the receipt deadline where the bid due date remains 05.08.2026.
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 is expressly of the essence. Delay attracts PRS at 0.5% of the price of delayed undelivered quantity per week or part, capped at 5% of total contract price and including GST. GAIL may also terminate all/part and procure elsewhere at supplier risk and cost.
Half the award is due within 12 weeks and all balance within 20 weeks from FOA, including manufacture, 3LPE coating, inspection, transport, unloading and stacking across six GAs.
One common per-metre transport rate must cover six widely separated GAs, while exact sites and quantity allocation are disclosed only later and can be anywhere within a GA. Different rates entered in the four GeM transport rows are replaced by the lowest for award.
Supplier bears transit insurance and must immediately replace loss/damage/short receipt without waiting for insurance settlement; if GAIL repairs damage to save time, supplier reimburses on demand.
Warranty/DLP is 24 months from receipt of the last bare/coated pipe at warehouse, while performance security is initially valid 35 months from FOA/PO and until three months beyond DLP. This creates long security exposure.
Only 90% is progressive; the final 10% waits for complete receipt/acceptance and indemnity/no-claim documents. GAIL targets 30 days after complete documents but owes no interest for delay, and PRS is deducted from payment.
Buyer can vary quantities by up to 25%. CPBG/SD is due within 30 days; delay can terminate the contract or attract SBI MCLR + 4% p.a. if extra time is allowed.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
