GeM Bid Document dated 21-08-2026; CPCL tender reference C15M26R250.
Pre-bid meeting is Not Applicable.
Bid End Date/Time finally applies as 05-09-2026 14:00:00 after Corrigendum 4539205 (Date) published 31-08-2026 (no corrigendum attachment file was published with the tender pack).
Part-ONE techno-commercial opening finally applies as 05-09-2026 14:30:00; Part-TWO priced bid of techno-commercially acceptable bidders opens later.
Offer validity is 120 days from the final bid due date / bid end date.
Delivery within 30 days from the date of Purchase Order / GeM contract, whichever is earlier; consignee delivery days also shown as 30.
Successful bidder must give order acceptance within 7 working days of order; silence is treated as acceptance in toto.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
No numeric estimated tender/bid value is printed in the available documents; GeM only states that any indicated Estimated Bid Value is for EMD/eligibility guidance and does not bind quoted price.
EMD is Rs.13,000 (Rupees Thirteen Thousand Only); Advisory Bank State Bank of India; beneficiary DGM (M&C) i/c, Chennai Petroleum Corporation Limited.
Tender document fee is Nil.
Performance Bank Guarantee / Security Deposit is Not Applicable; GeM ePBG Required = No.
No advance. 100% payment within 30 days of material receipt/acceptance (GeM: within 30 days of CRAC and online bills), by RTGS; TReDS preferred mode for eligible MSME sellers.
All-inclusive prices to CPCL Manali (GST, P&F, duties, levies, transport, transit insurance, TPI etc.). PRS applies on undelivered portion: 0.5% per week or part thereof, max 5% of delayed portion (excluding taxes).
MII purchase preference Yes (Class-1 within L1+20%, up to 50% quantity); MSE purchase preference Yes (within L1+15%, up to 25% quantity). Exclusive MSE reservation: No. Evaluation: overall/total value-wise L1.
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.
Must have supplied “A4 copier paper” to any industry/office in India within the last five years for: one order ≥ Rs.5.34 lakh; OR two orders each ≥ Rs.4.27 lakh; OR three orders each ≥ Rs.3.20 lakh.
Annual turnover not less than Rs.6.41 lakh in any one of FY 2022-23, 2023-24, 2024-25; and no negative net worth in last audited balance sheet FY 2024-25 (net worth criterion not applicable to CPSE bidders).
No relaxation of prior experience or turnover for MSE or Startups (GeM and ATC both say No / not applicable) because supply is treated as critical.
Only Class-1 and Class-2 local suppliers may bid; non-local suppliers ineligible. Minimum local content: 50% for Class-1 and 20% for Class-2. Eligible MSEs still allowed to participate under concurrent MSE-MII rules.
Bidder must not be under liquidation/court receivership/similar proceedings, nor on Holiday/Negative list of CPCL or MoPNG; blacklisted/holiday-listed bids are not opened. False/forged documents attract holiday listing and EMD forfeiture.
Bidders from countries sharing a land border with India are eligible only if registered with the Competent Authority; false declaration is ground for immediate termination and legal action (GeM GTC cl.26 / Format 8.6).
JV/Consortium not permitted unless NIT expressly allows; this NIT does not permit JV/C. Bidder must be a natural person, private entity or public entity; conditional/alternative/multiple bids not considered.
Domestic open tender via GeM; national competitive bidding. CPCL may reject on past performance at CPCL and may use in-house information. Failure to meet PQC rejects the bid.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Only supply (non-rate-contract) of Copier Paper A4, 75 GSM, 210×297 mm; unit = SET where 1 REAM = 1 SET; item code 9305300654; CPCL tender C15M26R250 / GeM GEM/2026/B/7942654.
Total quantity 6,000 SET, all to CPCL Manali Refinery, Chennai-600068; bid not for multi-source split beyond MSE/MII preference mechanics (NIT 1.23 = No).
Full ordered quantity within 30 days of PO/GeM contract (whichever earlier). Date of receipt at CPCL site is delivery date. Supply from latest produced batch/lot strictly as per specification.
GeM notification category references Plain Copier Paper (V3) ISI Marked to IS 14490; Section-3 BOQ gives A4/75GSM/size only—no separate detailed datasheet beyond buyer specification download on GeM. Sample requirement No; TPI Not Applicable; Guarantee/Warranty Not Applicable. Packing per Section-3 or manufacturer’s standard. Unloading at CPCL site is under bidder’s scope.
AMC Not Applicable; Buy-back Not Applicable; Integrity Pact Not Applicable; PVC Not Applicable; Reverse Auction Not Applicable.
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.
Electronic two-packet bid on GeM Portal only; sealed cover/FAX/email offers are rejectable. Part-ONE techno-commercial (unpriced); Part-TWO priced bid in GeM price format.
Applicable Section-8 formats and specification sheets must be filled, signed and sealed/stamped; do not alter CPCL tender document. Prices must not appear in unpriced Part-ONE.
If EMD is via BG/ISB hard copy (and any sample if ever applicable), courier originals to DGM (Materials), Admin. Block-III, CPCL, Manali, Chennai-600068 with CPCL collective/NIT no. on cover. GeM ATC disclaimer allows EMD/signed Integrity Pact physical submission within 5 days of bid opening (IP N/A here). Samples not required for this tender.
Do not combine pre-qualification, technical and commercial details into one undifferentiated upload beyond GeM packet structure; PQC docs evaluated from what is submitted with bid.
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.
Single date corrigendum published 31-08-2026 with no attached files. It extends the schedule from the original GeM Bid Document times of 31-08-2026 14:00 (end) / 14:30 (opening) to 05-09-2026 14:00 (end) / 14:30 (opening).
Publication/document date 21-08-2026; pre-bid N/A; bid end 05-09-2026 14:00; bid opening 05-09-2026 14:30; offer validity 120 days from final bid due date; EMD Rs.13,000; PBG/SD N/A; delivery 30 days from PO/GeM contract; quantity 6000 SET A4 75GSM copier paper to CPCL Manali.
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.
GeM Bid Document still prints End/Opening 31-08-2026 14:00/14:30, while Corrigendum 4539205 (Date) amends the live schedule to 05-09-2026 14:00/14:30. Latest date corrigendum prevails.
NIT 1.26 and GeM Payment Timelines require 100% within 30 days of receipt/CRAC. GPC Clause 14 defaults to 90% against despatch documents + 10% within 30 days of receipt against BG. Under SPC/ITB order of precedence, NIT overrides GPC on this point.
NIT price basis requires bidder-inclusive transit insurance, and SPC 5.9 places transportation & transit insurance on the supplier path, while GPC Clause 17 says Transit Risk Insurance from despatch point onward is covered by Owner’s open policy. NIT/SPC prevail over GPC; price on all-inclusive delivered basis at Manali.
GeM states “Bid splitting not applied” and NIT 1.23 says bid is not splittable to more than one source, yet NIT 1.22 marks quantity splitable for MSE/MII purchase preference and GeM grants MSE up to 25% and MII up to 50% preference quantities. Practical reading: no intentional dual-source split of the full quantity, but statutory MSE/MII preference may still carve preferred quantities.
GeM Bid Details list Arbitration Clause = No and Mediation Clause = No, while CPCL SPC 5.28–5.29 prescribe conciliation/SCOPE arbitration (and AMRCD for CPSE disputes). Buyer ATC/SPC conditions govern the CPCL contract framework; GeM GTC still applies to marketplace process. Treat CPCL dispute clauses as contract risk despite the GeM flag.
NIT 1.29 and GeM ePBG=No make PBG/SD Not Applicable, while SPC 5.17 still contains generic SD/PBG machinery. For this tender the NIT “Not Applicable” controls; no performance security to be furnished.
Two identical 124-page ATC uploads (same MD5) appear under different filenames; content is the same CPCL tender pack, not conflicting versions.
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.
Ask buyer/GeM to confirm whether 05-09-2026 14:00/14:30 is final or still subject to further automatic 5-day extensions if <3 bids, since Corrigendum 4539205 has no PDF body.
Section-3 only lists A4, 75GSM, 210×297, 1 ream=1 set, while GeM notification category cites Plain Copier Paper (V3) ISI Marked to IS 14490 and checklist seeks catalogue/COA. Seek written confirmation whether IS 14490 ISI marking, brightness, whiteness, and brand restrictions are mandatory acceptance criteria.
Clarify acceptable evidence when bidder is stockist/authorized dealer: only manufacturer-to-end-user chain invoices, and whether dealer’s own invoices to offices/industries qualify, given trader-to-trader exclusion.
Reconcile NIT all-inclusive transit insurance + bidder unloading scope with GPC Clause 17 Owner open policy—confirm bidder must still price full freight, insurance and unloading into the GeM unit rate.
Confirm whether payment is strictly GeM CRAC+online bill within 30 days (100%) with no 90/10 GPC split and no advance under any circumstance.
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.
30-day delivery to Manali with PRS 0.5%/week (max 5%) on undelivered portion; delay may also trigger partial/full order cancellation and risk-purchase cost recovery from vendor.
MSE/Startup cannot skip experience/turnover. Trader-to-trader experience disallowed; only invoiced A4 copier paper values count; incomplete PQC docs can reject without seeking new orders.
Withdrawal/alteration within validity, forged credentials, or failure to accept order can forfeit EMD and lead to holiday listing; originals of experience docs may be demanded.
No pre-bid sample and TPI N/A, but CPCL can sample on receipt and its lab report is final for acceptance, deduction or rejection; latest batch required; manufacturer TC must accompany supply.
Unloading is bidder’s cost/scope; personnel need full PPE, age ≤55; Manali weighbridge limits (18m×3m, 80 t) may constrain vehicle choice even for paper loads.
Firm prices (no PVC); possible repeat order within one year at same price/terms for lower/equal/higher qty; order deemed accepted if no reply in 7 working days; CPCL may reject any/all bids or cancel tender without assigning reason.
No advance; payment only after receipt/acceptance/CRAC (30 days). GPC conflict creates interpretive risk until PO clarifies. Cartel/pool-rate findings can reject bids and trigger Competition Act exposure.
Quoted GeM rate must absorb GST, freight, insurance, unloading and all levies to Manali; under-pricing logistics erodes margin because evaluation is total-value L1.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
