Supply (goods) of various types of control transformers for local control panels at 2×250 MW Bhavnagar Lignite Thermal Power Station (BLTPS), Padva under Tender ME-128/10/874/BLTPS/2026, RFQ EMD/77176, n-Procure tender ID 321739.
Schedule covers 25 control-transformer variants totalling 143 numbers, ranging from 50 VA to 10 kVA (and one 10 kW/10 kVA unit), predominantly 1-ph dry-type units with 415 V class primaries and 24/110/230/240 V secondaries as specified per line.
Delivery F.O.R. main store, BLTPS, Padva, Bhavnagar; well packed to avoid transit damage; datasheet and GA drawing for each transformer with supply; interchangeability cum retrofitment certificate with supply.
Entire supply to be delivered within 12 weeks from the date of LOI.
Guarantee 18 months from date of supply/receipt at site or 12 months from commissioning, whichever earlier, covering manufacturing defect, transit damage and poor workmanship; free replacement.
GSECL reserves rights to test supplied items; if results not as per specifications/dimensionally unfit, entire/part supply may be rejected.
Scope is supply of control transformers only; no erection/commissioning package is described as bidder scope in the technical conditions (though general penalty wording also mentions erection/testing delays if ordered).
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.
100% e-tender on https://tender.nprocure.com: technical bid PDF (300 dpi or higher), notarized or self-attested, online only; price bid only on n-procure Schedule-B; no hard-copy tender documents accepted for bid evaluation.
DSC Category IIIb required for e-procurement; certifying agencies listed (SafeScrypt, TCS, MTNL, (n)Code Solutions/GNFC); training/support via (n)Code Solutions Ahmedabad.
Despite 'no hard copy documents' for the bid set, Demand Draft/Pay Order/Bank Guarantee originals (where used for fee/EMD) must be sent by RPAD/Speed Post within 5 days of Technical Bid opening to CE (Gen), BLTPS Padva.
Tender documents to be notarized or self-attested; all annexures duly signed; tender submitted duly signed without removing pages; Integrity Pact and undertakings with seal & signature.
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.
Only amendments issued are successive due-date extensions for online submission and technical opening of Sr. 6–10 (Ext-3 covers Sr. 06 to 08 & 10, which includes this Sr.10 tender); no change to scope, EMD, fee or commercial conditions found in corrigendum PDFs.
Finally applicable for ME-128/10/874 (Sr.10, ID 321739): bid upload & price fill by 08.09.2026 17:30; preliminary/technical opening 08.09.2026 18:00 (if possible); price bid opening via n-procure intimation; EMD Rs.1,01,185/-; tender fee Rs.2,950/-; validity 120 days from actual technical bid opening; other booklet/STC conditions unchanged by corrigenda.
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.
NIT repeatedly says no hard copy documents shall be accepted and evaluation is online-only, yet the tender booklet requires physical submission of DD/Pay Order/BG to BLTPS within 5 days of Technical Bid opening.
E-tender notice states vendor registration with GSECL is not compulsory for this tender; general Supply Terms say vendor registration is compulsory to participate and price bid may be blocked without registration certificate.
Tender booklet: SD within 10 days of LOI at 5% (or 3%/exempt bands) and nil if order < Rs.2 Lakh. Supply Terms: SD within 15 days of LOA, payable irrespective of SSI/NSIC exemption, with separate item-wise % tables (OCR incomplete for Generation SD row) and warranty PBG tables.
Tender booklet uses Rs.3 Lakhs threshold for mandatory DD/BG options; Supply Terms clause 8.8 uses Rs.1 Lac threshold and different unsuccessful-EMD return period (15 days vs 07 days in booklet/notice).
Several Schedule-B/technical-bid short descriptions disagree with the mandatory DETAIL TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION block (which prevails per explicit note).
Booklet Annexure-A lists Udyam MSE manufacturers, Start-ups, Khadi/KVIC, PSUs, large OEMs ≥500 Cr, BIS-validated sellers, etc.; Supply Terms emphasize Gujarat SSI with CSPO/NSIC/DGS&D path and Gujarat Purchase Policy-2016, and state outside-Gujarat parties get no PBG relaxation.
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.
Confirm that DETAIL TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION (and existing installed nameplate dimensions) overrides conflicting short descriptions in Technical Bid/Schedule-B for all 25 lines, and whether GSECL will share nameplate data if site visit is not feasible.
Seek written confirmation that the NIT line 'Vendor registration with GSECL is not compulsory' prevails over Supply Terms compulsory registration / price-bid blocking language.
Confirm applicable Security Deposit percentage and due date (10 days from LOI at 5%/3% per booklet vs 15 days LOA and STC item-wise table), and whether a separate Generation & other warranty PBG (10%/4%) is mandatory in addition to execution SD.
If EMD/fee is paid fully by RTGS/NEFT/online from business account and proof uploaded, confirm that no physical document is required despite the 5-day DD/PO/BG clause.
Clarify minimum proof for alternate make (PO + performance to utilities/PSUs/etc.) and whether type-test reports are required for control transformers under this NIT (STC type-test clause is generic).
Confirm whether bidder must quote all 25 items or may offer partial lines, and whether evaluation/order is item-wise L1 or overall package.
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.
Delay beyond contractual period attracts penalty @ 0.5% per week or part thereof on delayed portion (end cost with taxes), capped at 10% of order value (end cost); taxes may be charged on penalty; receipt date at store used.
Supply must be exact one-to-one interchangeable retrofit without any site modification; dimensional mismatch or failed tests can reject entire/part lot with free replacement obligation.
No advance; only 80% on TRC in 30 days with GST retained until return proof; 20% waits for SR Note up to 45 days after good receipt — working-capital heavy for multi-item supply.
EMD plus execution SD (typically 5%) plus possible warranty PBG (STC Generation table 10%) create stacked bank limits; corporate BG banned; one-time full-validity BG; encashment if not renewed before extension.
If audit samples fail and material already consumed, GSECL may deduct up to 30% of end cost plus GST for the rejected lot; retesting costs on supplier.
Missing Active GSTIN, EMD/fee, executed order copies, or other required technical documents can cause outright ignore/rejection without correspondence; shortfall may be sought later only at GSECL option.
GSECL may accept/reject/cancel any offer, extend dates, re-advertise or modify process without assigning reasons; cartel findings may trigger stop-deal/blacklist and quantity reallocation.
Unresolved disputes go to Arbitration Centre (Domestic and International), High Court of Gujarat at Ahmedabad under its rules; English proceedings; award final and binding.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
