Not applicable.
10% of each Delivery Order Value, to be furnished within 15 days after receipt of the Purchase Order. GCC permits Bank Guarantee, Demand Draft or irrevocable Letter of Credit. It must remain valid for 90 days beyond the warranty/guarantee period; the stated warranty is 24 months from last shipment or 12 months from commissioning, whichever is earlier.
Indian bidders: 100% payment within 45 days from receipt of goods at site, against the specified invoice, inspection release note, GR/LR, packing list, manufacturer's new-material/conformity certificate, 10% Delivery Order PBG (or copy), applicable CENVAT documents and technical documents. Payment mode is A/C Payee Cheque / NEFT.
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.
Bidder must be the actual manufacturer of PE pipes for natural-gas service. The proposed supplying mill/plant must have facilities to manufacture the quoted SOR size to IS:14885 (latest) or ISO:4437 (latest), supported by valid plant certificates from BIS or similar agencies.
From the proposed mill, during the last five years reckoned from final bid submission, bidder must have supplied to an established Indian City Gas Distribution company at least 50% of the quantity of each quoted SOR size (or higher size), in PE80/PE100 and SDR 17.6/SDR 11 to IS:14885 or ISO:4437. Multiple quoted items are assessed cumulatively.
For item 1.1, minimum annual turnover is Rs. 60.00 Lakhs in any one of FY 2022-23, 2023-24 or 2024-25. Items 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 state ‘NA’. Requirements are cumulative for multiple quoted items.
Net worth must be positive for FY 2024-25. Item 1.1 requires working capital of Rs. 12.00 Lakhs based on FY 2024-25; items 1.2-1.4 state ‘NA’. Inadequacy may be covered by a bank line-of-credit letter from a bank with net worth at least Rs. 100 crores.
Offer must be on single-point ‘Sole Bidder’ responsibility; order is placed on that bidder alone. Each bidder may submit only one bid; bids from companies managed and controlled by the same group are disqualified. Alternative bids are not accepted.
Bidder must not be on the Black/Holiday list of MNGL, MoP&NG or Oil Public Sector Enterprise(s), under a purchaser declaration of ineligibility for corrupt/fraudulent practice, or associated with the consultant/affiliate that prepared the procurement design/specifications. Bidder must not be under liquidation, court receivership or similar proceedings. MNGL may assess past performance.
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 71,700 m of PE100 SDR11 MDPE pipe: 125 mm OD, 11.4 mm wall—22,200 m Nashik and 6,400 m Sindhudurg; 63 mm OD, 5.8 mm wall—23,000 m Pune and 20,100 m Nashik.
Scope includes manufacture/supply, inspection, testing, marking, packaging, handling, insurance, transport, loading/unloading and dispatch to MNGL sites/designated stores on FOT-site basis. Pipes must meet latest editions of IS:14885 and ISO:4437, including material, dimensions, finish, performance and sampling/conformity requirements.
125 mm OD pipe must be supplied in 50 m coils; 63 mm OD pipe in 100 m coils, with length tolerance -0.0/+100.0 mm. Ends require caps, coils require black PVC/PE film against sunlight, and packing must prevent transit/storage damage.
One-year rate contract from Purchase Order, extendable by MNGL for another 6 months on the same terms. MNGL will issue need-based Delivery Orders; each DO quantity must reach the MNGL store within 10 weeks of written intimation. Receipt at store is the delivery date.
Quantities are projections only; MNGL gives no firm commitment to procure all tender quantities and may increase/decrease any SOR item within the overall contract-value ceiling. It may also place a repeat order within 6 months up to 50% of PO value at unchanged rates and terms.
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 electronically at https://etenders.gov.in/eprocure/app under the single-stage two-bid system. Technical documents go in Cover 1 and the priced BOQ only in Cover 2; placing financial information elsewhere causes rejection. No physical bid is accepted, except the original EMD/bid-security instrument where applicable.
Valid Class III DSC with signing-key usage is mandatory. Upload requested files as PDF using the exact Form F-16 header names; all bid pages must be signed/stamped by the authorised representative, numbered, and the covering letter must state the total page count. Digitally signed documents are uploaded.
Bid and correspondence must be in English. Non-English certificates require an English translation authenticated by the bidder's country's Chamber of Commerce. Interlineations/erasures/corrections must be initialled; overwriting may cause rejection.
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.
Tender/MR/SOR identifies the Pune 63 mm line as item 1.3 and Nashik 63 mm as item 1.4, but the BOQ labels them 1.4 and 1.5. The item descriptions, quantities and destinations align, but bidders should seek correction before pricing; the BOQ must not be edited independently.
IFB/ITB requires four months from final bid due date, while Form F-15 asks acceptance for four months from techno-commercial opening. Apply the substantive IFB/ITB requirement—four months from 07.09.2026—and flag the Form F-15 portal response for confirmation.
NIT limits EMD wording to Demand Draft/BG, while ITB 17.3 additionally permits Banker's Cheque, NEFT/RTGS and irrevocable LC. Because NIT is the tender-specific schedule, use DD/BG unless MNGL confirms the expanded ITB instruments.
BEC and ITB say the bidder must be the actual PE-pipe manufacturer supplying from the proposed mill, but the agreed-terms form requests a manufacturer authorisation when the bidder is not a manufacturer. The tender-specific BEC is pass/fail and prevails; non-manufacturer bidding should not be assumed permissible.
ITB 10.1 calls the bid-security format F-4, bid-opening authority F-5 and no-deviation confirmation F-6, whereas printed/F-16 forms identify EMD as F-2, authority as F-7, deviation as F-5 and F-6 as the downloaded-tender declaration. Follow the printed Form F-16 checklist and actual appended form titles, while seeking portal clarification.
Brief agreed terms says MNGL may vary award quantity by up to 20%, but the SCC imposes no percentage and permits item increases/decreases up to the overall contract-value ceiling, with no commitment to procure all quantities. SCC expressly prevails over GCC/general conditions, so SCC 3.0 applies.
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 issue a corrected BOQ mapping the 63 mm Pune and Nashik lines to tender items 1.3 and 1.4; the current locked BOQ shows 1.4 and 1.5, affecting eligibility linkage and item-wise L1 award.
Confirm whether the minimum Rs. 20,00,000 recovery for each failed pipe applies to this MDPE tender. The clause cites Technical Specification MNGL/LINEPIPE/TS/00 and clause 14 (new), neither of which is the issued PE-pipe specification, and materially changes warranty exposure.
Confirm that only the actual manufacturer owning the proposed mill may bid and that the non-manufacturer/manufacturer-authorisation fields in the agreed-terms form are inapplicable.
Confirm whether instruments beyond DD/BG (Banker's Cheque, NEFT/RTGS or LC) are acceptable, and state the exact deadline for receipt of the physical original EMD/BG at MNGL.
Confirm that bid validity runs from 07.09.2026 (not bid opening), and publish a corrected document-to-form map because ITB 10.1 cross-references conflict with the printed Form F-16 checklist.
Given no minimum procurement commitment, firm prices, a one-year ARC extendable six months and 10-week DO delivery, provide a non-binding DO forecast and confirm whether any raw-material price-adjustment mechanism will apply during extension.
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 attracts ½% of Delivery Order Value per week or part, capped at 10%, while MNGL may also source elsewhere at supplier's risk/cost or terminate. GCC additionally permits forfeiture of performance security and states time is of the essence.
A defective pipe failing field hydrotest/warranty can trigger reimbursement at actual cost or a minimum Rs. 20,00,000 per pipe, whichever is higher, including removal, recoating, replacement, relaying, incidental activity and MNGL losses; unpaid balance is due within 15 days. The clause appears copied from a different line-pipe specification and needs clarification.
MNGL does not commit to buying the projected 71,700 m and may shift quantities among items within the contract-value ceiling. This creates raw-material, capacity and unit-cost recovery risk, compounded by a possible repeat order up to 50% at unchanged prices.
Prices remain firm/fixed for the contractual period, while the one-year contract may be extended six months on the same terms. Tax increases after contractual delivery delay are to the bidder's account; decreases pass to MNGL.
Payment is only due within 45 days after site receipt and complete dispatch documentation, including a 10% DO-value PBG. The PBG remains through warranty plus 90 days and may be released as late as six months after all obligations expire.
MNGL may terminate for default after a 30-day cure, buy replacements at excess cost, and place the vendor on holiday for three years. MNGL may also terminate for convenience; only goods complete and ready within 30 days must be purchased, while remaining partially completed goods are handled at MNGL's option.
Nonconforming material is immediately rejectable and must be replaced at no extra cost without delivery impact. Rejected equipment must be removed within 14 days after repaying sums received; MNGL can recover from pending invoices.
Aggregate seller liability is capped at 100% of Agreement/Order price, and neither party is liable for indirect/consequential damages, lost profit or lost production. Bidder should confirm the Rs.20 lakh per-pipe recovery and risk-purchase remedies remain within this cap.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
