Financials

Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.

Commercial model and bid parameter (no CAPEX bid price)

DBFOT concession: bidders quote User Charges (INR per kg of gas produced) payable to the Authority; highest quote wins. Reserve User Charge Rs. 0.50; quotes in multiples of Rs. 0.10.

Project is design, build, finance, operate and transfer (DBFOT); Concessionaire finances the CBG plant.
Best Quote / Preferred Bidder = highest quoted User Charges per Kg of gas produced.
Reserve User Charges fixed at Rs. 0.50; bids below reserve or not in multiples of Rs. 0.10 shall be disqualified.
Same clause also says quotes must be a whole number without decimal places — conflicts with Rs. 0.50 / Rs. 0.10 rules (see contradictions).
User Charges pay-off to Authority by Concessionaire will commence from the 5th Anniversary of COD (also conflicts with Clause 1.2(i) which says from COD).
One-time Upfront Premium of Rs 3,00,000/- per acre payable to Authority on signing of concession and lease agreement.
RFP does not state a lump-sum estimated project cost/tender value in the body; Performance Security is INR 7,50,00,000/-.

Bid Document Fee

Non-refundable Bid Document Fee of INR 10,000/- by RTGS/NEFT; UTR receipt mandatory with Bid.

Account Holder: Defence Estates Officer, Odisha Circle, Bhubaneswar
Account No.: 10173710021; Bank: SBI, O.U.A.T. Bhubaneswar Branch; IFSC: SBIN0003341
Bid summarily rejected if not accompanied by UTR Receipt evidencing payment of Bid Document Fee (and EMD).

Earnest Money Deposit (bid security)

EMD INR 1,00,00,000/- (Rupees One Crore Only) as unconditional on-demand bank guarantee from a Scheduled Bank, payable at Bhubaneswar.

Favour of: Defence Estate Officer, Odisha Circle, Bhubaneswar; format Annex 8.
Validity: 30 days beyond Bid validity (inclusive of claim period); Annex 8 states 210 days from Bid Due Date inclusive of 30-day claim period.
Original BG hard copy to Authority by Bid Due Date; scanned copy uploaded with Bid.
Unsuccessful Bidders: EMD returned no later than 30 days after Bid validity expiry or within 7 days of Agreement execution with Selected Bidder, whichever earlier.
Selected Bidder: EMD returned upon furnishing Performance Security; if EMD would expire earlier, Authority may draw and hold as cash security until PS is submitted.
Forfeiture triggers include corrupt practices, specified disqualifications, withdrawal, and failure to accept LOA / furnish PS / execute Agreement.

Performance Security

Selected Bidder must furnish Performance Security of INR 7,50,00,000/- (Rupees Seven Crore Fifty Lakh Only) on or before execution of the Agreement.

Form: unconditional, irrevocable, on-demand bank guarantee from a Scheduled Bank.
Favour of Defence Estate Officer, Odisha Circle, Bhubaneswar; payable at Bhubaneswar; format as set out in the Agreement.
Failure to furnish PS on/before Agreement execution entitles Authority to appropriate/forfeit EMD under Clause 15.5(d)(ii).

Payment / revenue terms highlighted in RFP

Concessionaire pays User Charges and upfront premium to Authority via project escrow; CBG offtake revenue is Concessionaire’s commercial risk.

From COD (per 1.2(i)) / from 5th anniversary of COD (per 2.10) Concessionaire pays User Charges per kg of gas produced to Authority as specified in the Agreement.
Escrow account mandatory; payments to Authority through escrow.
Concessionaire free to supply/deliver CBG Output to Off taker(s) on mutually agreed terms — offtake price/availability not guaranteed by Authority.
Bidders deemed to have satisfied themselves regarding availability/suitability of offtake arrangements and price.
Detailed payment mechanics, taxes and any LD regime are deferred to the Agreement (scheduled for issue with PIM; not included as a filled contract volume in this pack).

Eligibility

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.

Who may bid (CPSU / statutory body only; limited cover list)

Bidder must be a Central Government PSU / Central Government Statutory Body, or a 2-member Consortium with CPSU/Statutory Body as Lead Member.

Cover states tender issued to IOCL, BPCL, HPCL, ONGC, GAIL, OIL & NDDB — while body eligibility is broader Central PSU/Statutory Body language.
Authority invites interested Central PSU / Statutory Body to submit Bids.
Only one Bid per Central PSU/Statutory Body, individually or in one Consortium.

Consortium / JV structure and equity lock-in

Consortium max 2 Members; Lead must be Central PSU/Statutory Body; SPV equity lock-ins apply post-award.

Members ≤ 2; Lead Member nomination via Annex 3B POA; binding Joint Bidding Agreement (Annex 9) required; no amendment/termination of JBA during Bid validity without Authority consent.
Selected Central PSU/Statutory Body shall hold at least 51% of total Equity Contribution and voting rights.
If Consortium: Members cumulatively ≥51%; Lead Member ≥51% until end of Concession Period; Members whose Technical Capacity was assessed individually ≥10% until 2 years after COD.
JBA also locks O&M Capacity member at ≥10% until expiry/early termination.
Clause 4.1 clarification (iv) instead requires each Member whose Technical Capacity was relied on to hold ≥51% till end of concession — conflicts with 10% rule (see contradictions).
Associate whose credentials used: change before COD needs Authority approval or risk disqualification/default.

Technical qualification (experience)

In the 7 years preceding Bid Due Date, Bidder must have experience in handling Oil / natural gas / bio gas and related infrastructure (Annex 5A client certificate).

Clause 4.1 also requires O&M experience 'specified in Clause 4.1(b)', but 4.1(b) text is only clarifications — no capacity/TPD threshold is stated in Clause 4; Annex 5B/notes require ≥365 consecutive days O&M in the 7 years preceding Bid Due Date.
Associate experience may be used for Technical Capacity.
Unincorporated JV/consortium past projects count only if Bidder/Member capital expended or payments received ≥10% of total project/contract value (Clause 4.1) — Annex 5A Note (4) instead says 26%.
Financial criteria Clause 4.2 is Deleted — no turnover/net-worth threshold remains in Clause 4, despite introductory wording referring to financial criteria.

Conflict of interest, ethics and single-bid rules

Strict Conflict of Interest, anti-corruption and one-bid rules; breach can disqualify and bar for 5 years from Authority tenders.

COI includes common control, ≥5% cross-shareholding (with financial-institution carve-outs), dual membership, same advisors, information-sharing relationships, dual bids via Associates, prior design consultancy, engaging Authority advisors (with limited exceptions).
Corrupt/fraudulent/coercive/undesirable/restrictive practices prohibited; 5-year ban from Authority tenders if found engaged.

Debarment, sanctions and past-performance bars

Multiple absolute bars: government blacklisting, World Bank/MDB debarment, UN sanctions, and 3-year past failure/expulsion/termination history.

Bar by GoI/State/instrumentalities subsisting on Bid Due Date → ineligible.
World Bank fraud/corruption ineligibility → ineligible.
MDB cross-debarment public sanctions list → ineligible.
UN Security Council or other recognized international sanctions list / non-compliant operations → ineligible.
In 3 Accounting Years preceding Bid Due Date: no failure-to-perform penalty by arbitral/judicial authority; no expulsion by GoI/State/instrumentalities; no termination for breach by GoI/State/instrumentalities.
Current e-Procurement Portal operator contract → Bidder and Associates ineligible.
Bid Letter also certifies no wilful default, IBC CIRP, insolvency/winding-up, fraud convictions, etc. in prior 3 Accounting Years.

Scope of work

What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.

Project overview — CBG plant on DBFOT

Set up ~15 TPD Compressed Bio-Gas facility at Village Kuarmunda, Tahasil Panposh, Distt. Sundargarh, Odisha on DBFOT with Authority land licence.

Authority: Defence Estates Office, Odisha Circle, Bhubaneswar.
Notice No.: 2026_DGDE_921281_1; Reference context RFP-CBG-DGQA-ROURKELA / CBG for Central OGMC and NDDB per tender title framing.
Objectives include CBG plant development, waste handling/segregation/processing to methane-rich biogas, scientific disposal of residual waste, and mobilising PSU investment/expertise.

Site, capacity and term

Project Site ≈ 21.99 acres (subject to ground availability) at coordinates Latitude 22°17'38.41"N, Longitude 84°45'15.96"E; COD within 24 months of Appointed Date; 25-year O&M thereafter.

Design Capacity = quantity of CBG produced, expressed in TPD; plant to handle/process Acceptable Waste up to Design Capacity and deliver daily output accordingly.
Buffer zone / green area around CBG Facility required per Applicable Laws.
Hand-back of Site and Facilities on expiry/early termination per Agreement conditions.
Independent Engineer jointly appointed before Appointed Date.

Concessionaire obligations (scope highlights)

Design, construct, O&M the CBG Facility; manage feedstock; dispose residuals; market CBG offtake; pay User Charges/upfront premium; open escrow.

Manage feedstock to maximise plant efficiency and ensure daily output per Design Capacity during O&M Period.
Proper handling and scientific disposal of Residual Inert Waste and Residual Waste generated/segregated at facility.
CBG Output supply/delivery to Off taker(s) on mutually agreed commercial terms.
Technical Specifications, Performance Standards and full Scope of Work are defined to sit in the Agreement (not reproduced as a separate filled volume in this document set).
Applicable framework references include SWM Rules 2016 and Odisha State Government as defined terms.

Required documents & submission

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.

Submission mode and portal

Single-stage e-procurement on https://eprocure.gov.in/cppp/: upload Qualification Proposal (PDF) and populate Financial Proposal online; DSC mandatory.

Register on e-Procurement Portal with digital signature certificate from a CCA-registered certifying authority.
Consortium: Lead Member registers using DSC of its authorised signatory.
Max file size per upload 250 MB; ensure legibility; system-generated acknowledgement confirms upload.
Bids encrypted until opened by Authority after Bid Due Date.
Do NOT submit hard copy of full Qualification Proposal or Financial Proposal — doing so makes Bid non-responsive (exception: original EMD BG + POAs).
All amounts in Rupees; Bid and correspondence in English (translations certified/notarised if needed).

Physical originals — EMD BG and POAs

Original EMD bank guarantee and Clause 20 POAs must be hard-delivered/couriered in a sealed superscribed envelope to DEO Bhubaneswar by Bid Due Date 11.09.2026 1700 hrs IST.

Envelope superscription: DEVELOPMENT OF CBG PLANT AT VILLAGE KUARMUNDA, TAHASIL PANPOSH, DISTT- SUNDARGARH, ODISHA - BANK GUARANTEE AND POWER OF ATTORNEY; and DO NOT OPEN BEFORE SPECIFIED TIME ON BID DUE DATE.
Envelope must show Bidder name, address and contact details.
Attention: Shri Vikrant S More, IDES, Defence Estate Office, Odisha Circle, Bhubaneswar, Plot No. 163, Prachi Enclave, Chandrasekharpur, Bhubaneswar - 751016.
Hard copies to any other address not considered; fax/telex/telegram/e-mail Bids rejected.
Authority not responsible for delays/loss/non-receipt.

Financial Proposal mechanics

Populate portal Financial Proposal with User Charges per Kg only; more than one figure makes FP non-responsive.

Only User Charges considered for FP evaluation; highest quote is Preferred Bidder.
Tie: best and final offer higher than original; most advantageous (highest) wins.
Negotiations, if any, cannot decrease initially quoted User Charges.

Corrigendum analysis

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.

Contradictions

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.

User Charges quote format: whole number vs multiples of Rs. 0.10 / reserve Rs. 0.50

Clause 2.10 simultaneously requires whole-number quotes without decimals and reserve/multiples of Rs. 0.10 including Rs. 0.50 — mutually inconsistent.

Side A: Financial Proposal User Charges 'must be a whole number without any decimal places'.
Side B: 'reserve User Charges are fixed at Rs. 0.50 and bids must be quoted in multiples of Rs. 0.10'; below-reserve or non-multiple bids disqualified.
Impact: bidders cannot satisfy both literally; pricing compliance is ambiguous until clarified.
Action: raise pre-bid query; do not assume which rule prevails.

Start of User Charges payment: COD vs 5th anniversary of COD

Clause 1.2(i) says User Charges from COD; Clause 2.10 says pay-off commences from the 5th anniversary of COD.

Material cash-flow impact for 5 years of operations.
Agreement (not in pack) may resolve, but RFP internal conflict remains for bid pricing assumptions.

Unincorporated JV experience threshold: 10% vs 26%

Clause 4.1 credits JV experience at ≥10% of project/contract value; Annex 5A Note (4) requires ≥26%.

Could change whether borderline JV credits qualify.
No corrigendum resolves this; seek written clarification.

Post-award equity lock-in for Technical Capacity members: 10% for 2 years vs 51% till end

Clause 3.2.2 / JBA require Technical Capacity members to hold ≥10% until 2 years after COD; Clause 4.1(b)(iv) requires each such Member to hold ≥51% till end of concession.

Clause 4.1(b)(iv) also implies each Technical Capacity Member holds ≥51%, which is arithmetically impossible for two Members.
JBA 5.2 aligns with the 10%/2-year rule and Lead 51% lock-in, not Clause 4.1(b)(iv).
Treat as drafting error requiring clarification before consortium structuring.

O&M qualification criteria missing in Clause 4.1 body but still mandatory

Clause 4.1(b)(i) and glossary require O&M Capacity under Clause 4.1(b), but Clause 4.1(b) only contains clarifications; O&M metrics appear only in Annex 5B notes/documents list.

Bidders must still submit Annex 5B O&M experience documents under Clause 20.1(g).
No minimum plant capacity/TPD or number of projects is quantified in Clause 4 for O&M or technical experience beyond 'experience in handling' oil/gas/biogas infrastructure.

Financial criteria deleted but still cross-referenced

Clause 4 intro still requires financial criteria in 4.2, glossary defines Average Annual Turnover via 4.2(b), and Clause 20.1(l) contemplates Associate financial credentials — yet 4.2 is Deleted.

Practically no turnover/net-worth pass/fail remains in Clause 4.
Residual document 20.1(l) may still be demanded if 'applicable'.

Cover 'issued to' named entities vs open Central PSU/Statutory Body eligibility

Cover restricts issuance list to IOCL, BPCL, HPCL, ONGC, GAIL, OIL & NDDB, while Clause 3.1 allows any Central PSU/Statutory Body (or consortium led by one).

Material bid/no-bid issue for other CPSUs/statutory bodies (e.g., beyond the named list).
Portal listing as Open Tender does not appear inside RFP text as a defined term resolution.

Pre-bid queries

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.

Confirm eligible bidder universe

Is participation limited to the cover-named entities (IOCL, BPCL, HPCL, ONGC, GAIL, OIL & NDDB), or open to any Central PSU/Statutory Body under Clause 3.1?

Affects bid/no-bid for unnamed CPSUs and for private partners only via consortium with named/any CPSU lead.

Resolve User Charges quoting rules and payment start date

Please reconcile whole-number vs Rs. 0.10 multiple quoting, and whether User Charges start at COD or from the 5th anniversary of COD.

Also confirm whether Upfront Premium Rs 3,00,000/acre is on 21.99 acres nominal or final measured area, and payment timeline/tax treatment.

Specify missing Technical/O&M qualification metrics and JV % threshold

What minimum capacity, throughput, project count or value constitutes acceptable technical and O&M experience under Clause 4.1, and is the JV credit threshold 10% or 26%?

Clause 4.1(a) only says 'experience in handling' oil/natural gas/bio gas infrastructure — no TPD/value floor.
O&M Capacity definition points to a missing 4.1(b) criteria body.
Request issuance of complete draft Agreement, PIM, Technical Specifications and Performance Standards promised in Bid Schedule (not in this pack) before Bid Due Date.

Feedstock guarantee, offtake and land status risks

Will Authority guarantee Acceptable Waste/feedstock quantity/quality and site free from encumbrances/defence-use restrictions, or is feedstock and offtake entirely Concessionaire risk?

RFP places feedstock management and offtake arrangement risk on Concessionaire while Design Capacity daily output is expected.
Ask for Site Contamination Report (defined term), land title/lease terms, OGMC/NDDB linkage, and any minimum offtake or administered price support.
Confirm buffer-zone land is within 21.99 acres or additional.

Equity lock-in hierarchy for consortium members

Which equity lock-in prevails for Technical Capacity members — Clause 3.2.2/JBA (10% for 2 years post-COD) or Clause 4.1(b)(iv) (51% till end of concession)?

Critical for consortium term sheets and financing.

Risks

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.

Feedstock and offtake commercial risk fully on Concessionaire

No Authority feedstock supply guarantee or offtake offtake price support is stated; yet daily Design Capacity output and User Charges are expected.

Concessionaire must manage feedstock and may sell CBG to Off takers on mutually agreed terms only.
Bidders are deemed to have accepted offtake availability/price risk and site suitability; inadequacy of RFP info is not a compensation ground.
Revenue risk is structural for a 25-year O&M period after 24-month construction.

Tight COD timeline and long lock-in / handback

COD within 24 months of Appointed Date; then 25-year O&M with Lead equity lock-in for full concession and handback obligations.

Agreement (with LD/penalties for delay, performance shortfall, termination payments) is not in the pack — major unpriced contractual risk until Agreement/PIM issued and reviewed.
Site area 'subject to actual availability on ground' (~21.99 acres) creates land-availability uncertainty.

EMD/PS forfeiture and no-withdrawal / no-deviation posture

Broad EMD forfeiture triggers; Bids cannot be withdrawn after submission; material negotiation of final Agreement draft can cost LOA and EMD.

EMD INR 1 Cr at risk for corrupt practices, COI/eligibility disqualification, withdrawal, or post-selection failures (LOA ack, PS, CPs, signing).
Performance Security INR 7.5 Cr required before/at Agreement execution.
If Selected Bidder seeks material deviations from Authority’s final execution draft, Authority may disqualify and revoke LOA.
Authority may reject Bids as unreasonable/impractical/unviable and annul process without liability.

One-sided process rights and distant exclusive jurisdiction

Authority has wide unilateral rights to amend process, reject/annul without assigning reasons; exclusive jurisdiction is Delhi courts while project/site/office are in Odisha.

No explanation/justification obligation on qualification decisions.
Disputes under Bid Process/RFP/Bids: competent courts at Delhi exclusive jurisdiction.
Combined with missing Agreement volume, bidders face asymmetric information and forum risk.

Payment timing ambiguity and upfront land premium

Conflict on User Charges start (COD vs year 5) plus upfront premium Rs 3 lakh/acre on signing creates pricing uncertainty.

If year-5 commencement prevails, early O&M cash flows improve but Authority revenue model changes; if COD prevails, early burden rises.
Upfront premium cash outflow at signing is additional to EMD/PS.
