Undisputed certified invoices are payable within 30 days. Rates are firm and fixed with no escalation; payment is based on actual certified work/quantities. GST is extra; other taxes, duties, cess and labour cess are included.
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.
During the 7 years preceding bid submission, bidder itself as turnkey contractor (not subcontractor) must have supplied, installed, tested and successfully commissioned a Gas Processing Unit: one completed work ≥ Rs. 5,21,00,000; or two each ≥ Rs. 3,90,00,000; or three each ≥ Rs. 2,60,00,000.
Average annual turnover over FY 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25 must be at least Rs 8,10,00,000. For bidders incorporated less than three years ago, average completed financial years since incorporation are used. If FY 2024-25 audited report is unavailable, the preceding FY may be used with relevant documents.
Net worth in the last financial year must be positive, calculated as (Equity + Reserves) minus revaluation reserves, intangible assets, unwritten-off miscellaneous expenses and carried-forward losses.
No MoU, JV or consortium is permitted. Bidder must bid in sole capacity and remains fully responsible; Corrigendum-1 rejected requests to use JV, parent, subsidiary, group-company or technology-partner credentials.
Bidder must not be on the holiday list or blacklist of GEL or any GEL Group Company. A bidder that has initiated legal action/litigation against GEL or a Group Company will not be considered. A false undertaking permits immediate termination and PBG forfeiture.
Bidder must unconditionally accept the complete tender and corrigenda, submit Exhibit E, and furnish all qualification documents online; non-submission of Exhibit E or required technical-stage documents can reject/disqualify the bid. No price may appear in the technical bid.
Agent bids require a valid authorization. Bidder must disclose its executing legal entity, operating base, resources, project-control approach and applicable MSME, PAN, GST, PF and ESI/medical-insurance registrations. Supporting documents must be in English or accompanied by a third-party-attested English translation.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Turnkey project management, surveys, residual basic/process and detailed engineering, procurement, fabrication, inspection/expediting, transport/storage, modifications to existing facilities, civil/structural works, piping and hook-ups, electrical and instrumentation, testing, pre-commissioning and commissioning for the SE#3 QPS gas monetization facility.
At Village Manipur, Taluka Daskroi, Ahmedabad, design a 20-year-life facility to process up to 7,000 SCMD of associated and non-associated gas to CGD/pipeline-export quality, using compression, dehydration, odorization, custody metering and utilities. Clarified lifecycle flows are minimum 800, normal 2,600 and maximum 7,000 scm/d; compressor turndown minimum is 600 scm/day.
Latest amended price schedule includes: one inlet gas scrubber; two 3,500-SCMD reciprocating compressors with electric drive/VFD; one 7,000-SCMD membrane GDU; one odorization set; one two-stream custody metering skid; dew-point analyzer; 1W+1S instrument-air package; one closed blowdown drum; one 1-kVA/1-hour UPS; integrated PLC/DCS/ESD/F&G; electrical, piping, civil and safety systems; commissioning; safety studies/statutory liaison; and engineering/QA/project management.
GEL provides utilities at single points; contractor routes all required piping/cabling. Gas delivery ends at the outlet flange of GEL's custody-metered Gas Supply Header within QPS; buyers lay downstream lines. New GMP plot is 32 m × 16 m, about 82 m from the existing control room/office.
Complete design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning within 8 months from Contract/Service Order or mobilization notice, whichever is earlier. Work occurs inside an operating brownfield plant; tie-in shutdowns will be permitted only on a time-bound basis by mutual discussion.
Contractor must complete HAZID, HAZOP and SIMOPS/safety studies, fire-system adequacy and required mitigation, third-party stage inspection, training for eight GEL persons for seven days, and design to the tender/corrigendum process, piping, mechanical and I&C bases and applicable API/ASME/BIS/PNGRB/OISD standards.
DGMS/GPCB/other clearances were confirmed outside contractor scope, but the amended price schedule still includes liaisoning and obtaining necessary statutory clearances/approvals. Two 3,500-SCMD compressors remain mandatory. A molecular-sieve GDU may be offered only as an alternate technical and commercial proposal alongside the original membrane scheme, on which evaluation is performed.
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 on the nProcure portal using a two-bid system: Technical Unpriced Bid and Commercial Price Bid. No physical bid is accepted except original Bid Bond/DD/BG (and authorization letter where applicable).
Bid and forms must be signed and sealed/stamped by the executive officer or authorized representative. Submit English documents; non-English evidence needs an accurate English translation, and qualification-document translations must be third-party attested.
If EMD is by DD or BG, courier the original in a sealed envelope using the Cut-Out Slip so it reaches GEL on or before the final bid due date and time; upload a copy and email the instrument details. RTGS proof is uploaded and emailed; no physical qualification documents are considered.
Per uploaded file: approved common formats, black/white 75–100 DPI, maximum 10 MB, filename under 70 characters and no listed special characters; reopen files after upload to verify readability.
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.
Added lifecycle flow/plot/utility data, fixed compressor configuration to two working 3,500-SCMD units, set 600 scm/day compressor minimum flow, confirmed 7.5 barg delivery, 30L odorant tank and GEL-meter outlet battery limit, rejected JV/criteria/payment relaxations, and issued indicative vendor list plus plot/P&ID drawings.
Bid closing was extended from 23 June 2026 at 18:30 IST to 22 July 2026 at 18:30 IST; opening now falls on 23 July 2026 at 10:30 IST. Corrigenda were issued 23 June, 30 June, 8 July and 17 July respectively.
Issued process, piping, mechanical and I&C design bases, revised P&IDs/plot/topographic map and vendor list. Replies allowed time-bound shutdowns for tie-ins, required bidder design responsibility for detailed systems/studies, separated post-meter lines for two buyers, and confirmed DGMS/GPCB/other clearances outside contractor scope.
Replaced/expanded Annexure-8 with detailed two-meter turbine custody system and field flow-computer requirements: 7,000 SCMD service, 2-inch ANSI 150#, 8 barg maximum, AGA/OIML/ISO/PNGRB compliance, approvals, logs, communications, calibration and warranty.
Retained two 3,500-SCMD compressors. Permitted a molecular-sieve GDU only as an alternate technical and commercial offer alongside the original membrane offer; evaluation remains on the original scheme. Amended Annexure-12 to simultaneous hydrocarbon and water dew-point monitoring, process pressure up to 10 barg and minimum two-year warranty.
Expanded compressor package scope/spares/lubricants, revised membrane design to two equal 3,500-SCMD trains and post-unit analyzers, changed ESD/F&G requirement from SIL-3 to SIL-2 with TMR, and issued a new 18-line price schedule. It also formed part of the date-extension chain.
Declared amended price-schedule item 18 a duplicate of item 1 and excluded it from commercial evaluation.
Bid due 22 July 2026 18:30 IST; opening 23 July 2026 10:30 IST; 180-day bid validity; INR 13,00,000 EMD; 10% PBG; 8-month completion; two working 3,500-SCMD compressors; 7,000-SCMD base membrane GDU with alternate molecular-sieve option only alongside the base offer; 30L odorant tank by higher-precedence amended scope; and duplicate BOQ item 18 excluded.
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 prescribed Bid Bond form refers to proposal validity of 150 days and page 81 says the BG should be valid 150 days, but the form's operative clause (5) and ITB require 180 days. Use 180 days from the final bid closing date because ITB clauses 2.1.3/2.3.9 and the guarantee's operative duration agree on 180.
Corrigendum-1 explicitly corrected the tender/price schedule to 30L, and Corrigendum-7 amended scope page 28 again says 30L; however Corrigendum-7's amended price schedule still prints 70L. Apply 30L because the amended technical scope is specific and the contract precedence clause places Scope of Work above Schedule of Rate. Flag the BOQ text in the bid cover letter without taking a deviation.
Corrigendum-6 amended Annexure-12 to simultaneous hydrocarbon and water dew-point monitoring; Corrigendum-7 amended scope calls for analyzers after each of two membrane units, yet its later price schedule asks for one single H2O analyzer. The latest commercial schedule controls the quoted line quantity (one), but the technical obligations remain broader and unresolved; price the line without omission and seek written clarification/allowance for the dual/two-point technical requirement.
Round-2 reply says DGMS/GPCB/other clearances are not in contractor scope, while the later Corrigendum-7 price schedule includes liaisoning and obtaining all necessary statutory clearances/approvals. The later Corrigendum-7 wording prevails for pricing; treat necessary project approvals and liaison as contractor scope, while seeking confirmation on authority fees and owner-only approvals.
The tender cover and body use GEL/Gas Monetization/2026-27/628, but the Cut-Out Slip prints GEL/Gas Monetisation/2025-26/628. Use the current 2026-27 reference on the envelope and instrument, while reproducing tender ID 309711 to avoid ambiguity.
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.
GEL rejected a single 7,000-SCMD package: bid two working 3,500-SCMD compressors. This supports late-life turndown and maintenance flexibility; lifecycle flow is 800/2,600/7,000 scm/d and compressor minimum is 600 scm/day.
Molecular sieve is allowed only as an alternate technical/commercial proposal alongside the original membrane scheme, and GEL evaluates the original scheme. Bid/no-bid and pricing must therefore support the membrane design even if the bidder recommends molecular sieve.
GEL maintained sole-capacity bidding, seven-year self-executed turnkey experience and full turnover thresholds. MSME status only supports eligible EMD exemption; it does not relax technical or financial BEC.
GEL's delivery point is the outlet flange of the QPS Gas Supply Header with GEL custody meter; buyers install lines onward, and the two post-meter lines remain separate for two buyers.
GEL will permit only time-bound, mutually discussed shutdowns for tie-ins. No geotechnical report will be issued because GEL considers the civil work minor, leaving the contractor to price foundation/site uncertainty from the supplied topographic map and its own verification.
Requests to change equipment/mechanical payment milestones to 75/20/5 were rejected; the tender's 50/30/20 milestones remain.
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.
LD is 1% of Contract Value for each week or part-week of delay/interruption, capped at 10%, plus GST if applicable. GEL may also terminate, recover damages, execute at contractor risk/cost and invoke security; contractor receives no payment during the delay period.
The 8-month turnkey completion starts from Contract/Service Order or mobilization notice, whichever is earlier, inside an operating plant with curtailed hours/restrictions and negotiated shutdown windows. Two compressors, detailed safety studies and approvals intensify schedule risk.
Rates remain fixed through contract and extensions with no escalation, while quantities are estimated and payment is on actual certified work. Contractor carries detailed-design completeness, site verification, statutory/tax and procurement inflation risk.
Large equipment/mechanical balances depend on erection then commissioning/acceptance/documentation; all other work is paid only at final completion. GEL can withhold part or all payments for schedule, breach, damage or performance issues, and pays no interest on delayed/withheld amounts.
PBG is 10% including GST, first-demand, valid 90 days beyond contract, replenishable after draws and invocable for broad performance/fitness/indemnity/breach grounds. Failure to submit it in 21 days can cancel the award and forfeit EMD.
Aggregate contractor liability is capped at 100% of Contract Value, but the cap does not cover gross negligence/wilful misconduct, law/tax/IP/confidentiality breaches or contractual indemnities, materially widening uncapped exposure.
Monsoon/ordinary weather, labor shortage, subcontractor non-performance, financial hardship and equipment failure are excluded. No payment accrues during FM; after 15 consecutive days GEL may terminate on two days' notice. Contractor must continue work through disputes/arbitration.
Odorant tank, dew-point analyzer quantity/type and statutory-clearance scope conflict across amendments. The bidder should price conservatively and obtain written clarification without qualifying the bid, because deviations are not accepted.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
