All important dates as they stand after corrigenda: publication, pre-bid/clarification deadline, bid submission deadline, bid opening, and bid validity period.
Bid document dated 09-07-2026; no corrigendum is listed in the tender folder.
Pre-bid conference is not applicable. No separate pre-bid or clarification deadline is stated.
30-07-2026 at 15:00:00.

90 days. The BEC requires 90 days from bid opening; the GeM cover says from the bid end date. Both events are on 30-07-2026, so the calendar validity is unaffected, but the BEC expressly overrides similar clauses.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
The estimated procurement value is not disclosed; the GAR prints only the placeholder ‘₹ xxxxxxxx.x’.
INR 218,000. Non-exempt bidders must submit it with the techno-commercial bid. Accepted forms are e-BG, NEFT/RTGS/electronic transfer, SFMS BG, or irrevocable unconditional insurance surety bond; BG/surety instruments must remain valid 45 days beyond offer validity, with the stated claim-period particulars.
Nil.
5.00% ePBG for 9 months. The GeM bid-specific term permits PBG or RTGS/internet-banking payment and requires proof within 15 days of award; the general contract text instead says within 30 days and imposes 1.5% of the performance-security amount per month or part for delay. Apply the bid-specific 15-day deadline and seek written confirmation because of the conflict.
Rates are firm; no advance is payable. Payment is for actual jobs/quantities performed and is linked to submission of the final report. The GeM cover states payment within 10 days of SDAC and online bill submission; invoices require detailed inspection/service reports, completion certification, attendance/service logs, insurance and statutory records.
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.
Single bidder or incorporated Indian JV must have at least one year cumulative experience in at least three different executed job types among UT Survey, LRUT, hardness test, radiography, MPI and UFD, and must also have executed at least three different jobs from that list during the preceding five years, measured before the originally scheduled techno-commercial opening.
Submit each cited contract plus satisfactory-execution proof: completion/performance report, proof of performance-security release, proof of final-payment release, or equivalent evidence identifying the contract and service. Also provide past/current similar work and contractual commitments.
Only an incorporated Indian JV route is described. The JV itself may qualify, or a partner holding at least 26% may meet the technical experience alone; that partner cannot rely on a consortium/supporting company and must undertake to retain at least 26% through contract execution. JV parties are jointly and severally liable and each partner must submit qualification details.
A valid GST registration certificate is mandatory. A bidder from a country sharing a land border with India is eligible only when registered with the Competent Authority and must certify compliance. MSE/start-up documents are conditional on claiming EMD/purchase-preference benefits; MSE benefit is limited to the actual service provider, not traders/dealers.
The bidder/JV partner must not be in insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings through evaluation. The bid must include BP-1 acceptance of ONGC’s banning policy, BP-2 declaration of no current ONGC banning order (including allied concerns), and BP-3 declaration of no current ONGC suspension order. A currently banned/suspended entity cannot participate directly or through JV/consortium/partnership.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
In-service NDT inspection/thickness survey of insulated and uninsulated process piping, static equipment and support structures for G1, S1-Vashista and U-field processing plants at Odalarevu Onshore Terminal, about 90 km from Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh.
Services include visual inspection, conventional UT/UTM, LRUT, ultrasonic flaw detection, wet/dry MPI, hardness testing, radiography and suitable inspection of insulated tanks. Work includes small-bore/dead-leg inspection, underground fire-water coating surveys and corrosion-under-insulation inspection, primarily to OISD-STD-130 (piping), OISD-STD-129 (tanks), OISD-STD-128 (pressure vessels) and OISD-134 (heat exchangers).
SOR quantities are indicative and payment is on actual work/reports. Principal quantities include UT piping points 117,259 (G1/S1-VA) + 58,631 (U); external tank inspections 34+4 below 10 m diameter and 4 above 10 m; pressure-vessel inspections 65+33; LRUT 22+11 days; UFD 7+3 days; MPI 21+11 days; hardness 300+150 points; visual inspection 10+5 days; radiography quantities and one lump-sum scaffolding item. All line items must be quoted.
Provide advance monthly/fortnightly plans, daily progress reports, monthly progress reports by the 10th, immediate critical-finding notices, isometric/P&ID-linked inspection data, defect/risk categorisation, corrective recommendations with timelines, corrosion-rate and remaining-life assessments, and Level-III-reviewed final reports.
Mobilise all personnel, materials and equipment within 20 days of LOA/NOA/LOI. Complete the scope within 210 days from mobilisation. Submit the draft report within three weeks after site completion and the final report within one week after ONGC comments.
Contractor bears manpower, calibrated NDT equipment, tools/tackles, consumables, surface preparation/recoating, scaffolding, insulation removal/reinstallation, internal transport, and employee lodging/boarding/transport. ONGC provides free water, air and electricity inside the plant when needed and arranges entry/gate passes.
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 as a two-packet bid. The techno-commercial packet must contain no prices; the price packet must use the same prescribed Excel/online price format, and physical price bids are ignored.
Every uploaded document/file must be digitally signed by the authorised signatory. Sign each file before upload; do not zip then sign, do not password-protect bid files, and use English or an authenticated English translation.
Only original SFMS BG with SFMS delivery message, or original insurance surety bond, is required physically for bid security; it must reach the designated ONGC/purchaser office on or before 30-07-2026 15:00. The envelope must identify the tender reference, tender ID and due date. NEFT/RTGS/e-BG cases do not require this physical original.
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.
GeM cover: 90 days from bid end date; BEC: 90 days from bid opening. BEC states it overrides similar clauses and therefore prevails. Both events fall on 30-07-2026, so no calendar-day difference results here.
GeM cover says 7 months; scope/SCC says 210 days from mobilisation. The scope/SCC is the specific execution provision, so 210 days applies, with mobilisation within 20 days of LOA/NOA/LOI.
GeM buyer-added term requires online-transfer proof in lieu of PBG within 15 days of award; GCC requires security within 30 days of LOI/contract and penalises later submission. Bid-specific ATC should prevail over general contract text; plan for 15 days and obtain written confirmation.
General contract says subcontracting is not applicable, while scope expressly permits subcontracting scaffolding/insulation-related services if an MOU/agreement copy is submitted. The specific scope permission should prevail only for those ancillary services; clarify before pricing or naming a subcontractor.
Tender SCC fixes combined mobilisation/completion LD at maximum 10% of total contract value. GeM GTC ordinarily caps LD at 5%, rising to 10% only for inordinate delay over 25% of the completion period. The tender-specific SCC is more specific and should govern, exposing the contractor to a 10% ceiling without the GTC’s inordinate-delay qualifier.
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 whether the successful bidder must furnish/upload performance security within 15 days of award (GeM buyer-added term) or within 30 days of LOI/contract (GCC), and whether the 1.5% monthly delay recovery starts after day 15 or day 30.
Please clarify whether invoices may be raised progressively for certified actual quantities/reports, or whether all payment is deferred until the final report for the entire site scope; this materially affects working capital for a 210-day execution period.
Please confirm that specialist scaffolding, insulation removal/reinstallation and related ancillary services may be subcontracted against an MOU/agreement despite GCC Clause 6.4 saying subcontracting is not applicable.
The bid requires physical originals of SFMS BG/insurance surety bond at the designated ONGC/purchaser office but does not state the addressee in that clause. Please confirm delivery to Group General Manager (SCM), ONGC Logistics Park, Vakalapudi Industrial Area, Kakinada-533005, and provide inward/receipt instructions.
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.
Mobilisation delay attracts 0.5% of total contract value per week/part; completion delay attracts 0.5% of pending/balance services per week/part; combined LD reaches 10%. ONGC may terminate if mobilisation does not occur within 20 days.
SOR quantities are approximate; actual demand may vary widely, ONGC may vary each line/overall quantity by ±25% at unchanged rates, and total performed value cannot exceed contract value. Payment is only for actual certified work/reports, so fixed mobilisation/scaffolding/equipment costs may be under-recovered.
No advance is available, payment wording links payment to the final report, and every invoice is conditional on detailed reports, completion certification, logs, valid insurance and statutory wage/EPF/ESI records. ONGC can withhold/recover for statutory non-compliance.
Contractor funds all lodging, boarding, travel to/from OOT, internal transport, tools, calibrated NDT equipment/backups, consumables, scaffolding, insulation work and recoating. The 20-day mobilisation window and requirement for simultaneous teams increase readiness and cash exposure.
Late PBG can trigger 1.5% of the security amount per month/part recovered from invoices. Forged or false documents can cause bid rejection/contract termination, EMD/security forfeiture and banning action.
Aggregate contractor liability is capped at 50% of contract price, but the cap excludes repair/replacement of defective equipment and IP indemnity; LD obligations are also excluded from consequential-loss protection. Insurance for personnel, equipment and third-party liabilities must remain valid.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
