Inspection, testing and lot acceptance

No GeM empanelled inspection agency is mandated; each lot needs a government/authorised lab test certificate, and site sample-roll performance decides lot acceptance.

• Test certificate for technical parameters must accompany each lot invoice from National Test House or government-authorised test centres/labs.
• NALCO may retest any part of any lot at CIPET/NABL.
• 5 sample rolls drawn from each supplied lot; whole lot accepted only upon successful performance of the sample lot.
• GeM Inspection Required field is No.
• Non-submission of required supply documents allows NALCO to reject all supplied material.

Submission mode and portal

Two-packet online bid on GeM; all bid documents and clarifications/representations must be submitted on the GeM portal only.

• Type of Bid: Two Packet Bid.
• Pre-opening clarifications/representations only via GeM representation window; offline/email not considered.
• During evaluation, shortfall/clarification responses only via GeM clarification window.
• Bidder's offer is liable to rejection if certificates/documents sought in bid, ATC or corrigendum are not uploaded.
• Documents uploaded by bidders (including clarification documents) are visible to other participated bidders after login.
• No physical bid documents are required as a pre-qualification step (GeM prohibits mandating physical submission as a pre-requisite to qualify).
• If any DD/cheque for CPBG/EMD/SD were applicable, original goes to GM (Finance), NALCO Smelter Plant, Angul-759145 with GeM bid/contract number on the envelope; online payment UTR to be emailed to the bid inviting authority. EMD/ePBG are not required on this bid.

Signing / attestation rules

CA/CMA-certified documents must carry valid UDIN; annexure formats require authorised signatory signature and firm seal where indicated.

• Any document required to be certified by a practicing CA or Cost Accountant must bear a valid UDIN, else it will not be accepted.
• After bid submission, only related shortfall documents may be sought; no new supply/works order to cure PQC will be considered.

No corrigendum / addendum found

The tender document set contains no corrigendum or addendum; original bid values apply as published.

• Documents present: bid_9660632.pdf, technical compliance/NIT sheet, buyer ATC annexures, and GeM GTC only.
• Final applicable key values remain: Bid End 17-08-2026 10:00:00; Bid Opening 17-08-2026 10:30:00; validity 90 days; EMD No; ePBG No; quantity 6500 kg; delivery 45 days.

Film thickness unit: 80 micron vs 160 mm vs 160 Micron

Technical sheet states single-wall thickness 80 micron (-10/+20%) and also 'total thickness should be 160 mm in tubular form', while mandatory labels require 'Thickness-160 Micron'.

• Likely intent is tubular/lay-flat double wall of 80 micron each = 160 micron total; 'mm' appears to be a typographical error for micron.
• Bidders should seek written GeM clarification before quoting, because literal 160 mm would be commercially and technically absurd for LDPE film.
• Until clarified, technical compliance sheet and buyer specification rank first in order of precedence.

ePBG not required on bid vs GTC performance-security framework

This bid sets ePBG Required: No, while GeM GTC clause 7 provides for Performance Security up to 5% on e-bid contracts.

• Bid-specific ePBG field and order of precedence (ATC over GTC) mean no performance security is demanded for this tender unless later amended.
• ATC still prints CPBG/EMD/SD submission logistics 'if' instruments are used.

EMD not required vs ATC EMD document bullet

GeM bid header says EMD Required: No, but ATC mandatory-document list still includes EMD 'wherever applicable'.

• For this bid the applicable value is EMD not required; the ATC bullet is conditional boilerplate.

Annexure numbering mismatch on land-border certificate

Land-border guidelines page is headed both Annexure-XI and '(Annexure- VIII)'.

• Annexure-VIII is already used for the environmental compliance statement. Treat the land-border model certificate as the form printed on that page regardless of the duplicate label.

Confirm required film thickness and tubular-form meaning

Ask buyer to confirm whether supply is 80 micron single film in tubular form with 160 micron total wall, and that '160 mm' is a typo for 160 micron.

• Also confirm whether label print 'Thickness-160 Micron' matches the acceptance test thickness basis.
• Raise only via GeM representation window before bid opening.

Sample-lot acceptance criteria and commercial risk

Seek written definition of 'successful performance' of the 5 sample rolls, the test period, who decides, and whether the balance lot is held unpaid/unaccepted pending site trial.

• This clause can defer acceptance and payment indefinitely if performance metrics are undefined.

Warranty duration not quantified

Ask what guarantee/warranty period and liability apply, because ATC headings mention Guarantee/Warranty but only prescribe test certificates.

Missing standalone commercial confirmation form / PQC thresholds

Ask buyer to identify the exact 'Confirmation to commercial terms, ATC & GTC' file and confirm that no experience/turnover PQC applies despite the PQC document bullet.

Lot acceptance tied to undefined sample performance

Whole lot is accepted only after successful site performance of 5 sample rolls drawn from that lot, creating acceptance and cash-flow risk.

• No pass/fail metrics, duration or rejection consequences beyond lot acceptance are defined.
• Payment is linked to CRAC; delayed acceptance delays payment.

Liquidated damages for delayed delivery

Under GeM GTC, delayed delivery attracts LD @ 0.5% of delayed quantity contract value per week (or part), capped at 5% normally and 10% for inordinate delay (>25% of completion period).

• Delivery period is 45 days and is essence of contract under GTC.
• No price increase is allowed during LD-bearing extensions.

Rejection for missing certificates / supply documents

Missing bid certificates can reject the offer; missing supply documents can cause rejection of all supplied material.

• Each lot must carry govt/authorised lab test certificate; NALCO may retest at CIPET/NABL at its option.
• Material with loose packing or without packing details will not be accepted.

Weighment and quantity tolerances favour buyer measurement

Payable/accepted weight is Smelter weighbridge weight (+/-0.5%); net weight deducts core and packing; PO qty may vary +/-5%.

• Core and cork plugs are not chargeable.
• Price is firm/fixed inclusive of freight and insurance to smelter stores — transit risk sits in the quoted price.

GST payment contingency and tax compliance exposure

GST is paid only after invoice reflects in NALCO GSTR-2A/ANX-2; TDS u/s 194Q and anti-profiteering obligations apply.

• GST reimbursement capped at lower of actuals/applicable rate and quoted GST %.
• False land-border or integrity declarations can trigger termination and legal action.
• Bidders on NALCO negative/holiday list are excluded even mid-evaluation.

Public visibility of uploaded bid documents

Documents uploaded by bidders, including clarification/representation documents, are shown to other participated bidders after login.

Tight delivery with auto-extension uncertainty on bid timeline only

45-day delivery is relatively tight for custom-labelled virgin LDPE rolls with government lab test certificates per lot.

• Bid may auto-extend once by 5 days if fewer than 3 bids are received; that affects bid closing, not delivery after award.
