All important dates as they stand after corrigenda: publication, pre-bid/clarification deadline, bid submission deadline, bid opening, and bid validity period.
IFB dated 22.08.2026; bidding documents available for download from 22.08.2026 onwards.
Last date for bidder queries: 07.09.2026. Pre-bid conference: 07.09.2026. The supplied document gives no time for either event.
Both Techno-Commercial and Price bids must be submitted by 21.09.2026 up to 1300 Hrs. (IST).
Envelope-I (Techno-Commercial Bid) opens on 21.09.2026 at 1530 Hrs. (IST). Envelope-II opening will be intimated after the Techno-Commercial Bid is opened.
The bid validity period is not specified in the supplied tender documents.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
Estimated cost is INR 34.19 Crore excluding GST and INR 40.35 Crore including GST. The detailed SOQ gives INR 341,929,719 excluding taxes and INR 403,477,068 including taxes.
INR 50,00,000/- (Indian Rupees Fifty Lakh Only) is mandatory; a bid without acceptable security is non-responsive. E-BG or EFT proof must be uploaded. A non-BG instrument submitted physically requires its original in a separate sealed envelope and a portal copy. Every bank guarantee must be an e-BG through the NeSL platform; physical BGs are not accepted.
Bidder quotes a discount or premium percentage over the DSR Schedule value. The quoted price covers the full stated and reasonably implied work, including labour, materials, plant, transport, taxes/duties/royalties, storage, rectification, maintenance to handover, contingencies and incidentals.
The supplied tender documents do not specify a tender document fee, performance security, retention, advance, payment milestones, measurement/payment cycle, or payment-release period.
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 last seven years reckoned as on the Techno-Commercial bid opening date, the bidder must have executed/completed similar work of at least: one order of Rs. 27 Crores; or two orders of Rs. 17 Crores each; or three orders of Rs. 13.5 Crores each. Similar work means civil works including earthworks and RCC works in a power plant, industrial plant, or infrastructure project (roads & bridges).
Standalone average annual turnover for the preceding three financial years must be at least Rs 22.50 Crores (Indian Rupees Twenty-Two Crores Fifty Lacs only), or equivalent foreign currency.
As of the last day of the preceding financial year, bidder net worth must be at least 25% of paid-up share capital and must not have eroded by more than 30% over the last three financial years. The erosion test does not apply where net worth is at least 100% of paid-up share capital.
Only Class-I local suppliers are eligible. Bids from Class-II Local Suppliers or Non-Local Suppliers will be outright rejected.
A bidder from a country sharing a land border with India, and an Indian bidder with a specified ToT arrangement with an entity from such a country, is eligible only if registered with the Competent Authority, subject to the stated line-of-credit/development-project exception.
The supplied documents do not state consortium/JV participation rules, a consortium-size or equity requirement, separate registration/certification requirements, or a specific debarment/blacklisting declaration condition.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Site enabling works for the 108 MW ± 5 MW LNG gas-engine project near Galathea Bay/Galathea River, Great Nicobar Island: tree cutting and clearing; handling and transport of timber/logs; site cutting, filling, grading and compaction; 3.6 m precast-RCC-panel perimeter boundary wall with gates and concertina coil; RCC surface/storm-water drainage; and associated civil works.
The schedule includes 373,809 sq.m jungle clearing; excavation of 213,971 cu.m of all kinds of soil; 180,000 cu.m earth banking and compaction; tree felling of 2,226 trees (30–60 cm), 2,226 (60–120 cm), 557 (120–240 cm), and 557 (above 240 cm); and 3,318 RM concertina-coil fencing.
Contractor supplies all construction materials, labour, supervision, plant, tools, testing, scaffolding, power, fuel, water, transport, handling, storage, insurance and incidentals. Scope also includes topographical survey, geotechnical investigation if required, excavation in soil and rock, dewatering, disposal, concrete/RCC, steelwork, roads, drainage, rainwater harvesting, final grading and clearance.
Bidder is responsible for worker/staff colonies and welfare, construction water and power, offices/stores/workshops, site laboratory, repair facilities, dust suppression, dewatering, housekeeping, approach/haul roads, laydown-area development, security and temporary drainage. Borrow and disposal sites and associated royalties/levies are also bidder's responsibility.
Site is about 45 km from Campbell Bay near Great Nicobar's southern tip. Access is by sea from Port Blair (about 520 km), with limited ship/helicopter/Dornier connectivity. Steel, cement, factory-fabricated structures, and coarse/fine aggregate for RCC are to be sourced from the mainland.
DSR-2023 items follow CPWD Specifications 2019 with corrections/amendments. The plant is corrosivity category CX under ISO 12944-2. Initial mobilisation is one month after LDA identification and includes site office, stores, field laboratory, mix design, equipment and manpower; the supplied schedule page does not expose a numerical overall completion period in its extracted table.
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 online only at https://eprocurentpc.nic.in/ under Single Stage Two Envelope: Envelope-I Techno-Commercial Bid and Envelope-II Price Bid. No hard-copy bidding documents are issued.
A Class-3 Digital Signature Certificate key is mandatory for e-tendering activities.
Only an original bid-security instrument other than a BG is expressly required physically, in a separate sealed envelope; upload a copy to the portal. Bank guarantees must instead be e-BGs through NeSL. The supplied documents do not state the physical delivery address or a separate receipt deadline.
Upload the supplied BOQ after entering only bidder name, e-tendering user ID and permitted values. Do not modify or replace the template; doing so makes the bid liable to 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.
Technical scope expressly includes excavation in all types of soil and rock, but the excavation BOQ item is only for ‘All kinds of soil’ (213,971 cu.m), and available-earth filling expressly excludes rock. No supplied precedence clause resolves Technical Specification versus PDF SOQ; bidder should obtain a written ruling on measurement and payment for rock before pricing.
The PDF SOQ states INR 403,477,068 including taxes (18% over INR 341,929,719), while the mandatory upload BOQ shows GST rate 0 and repeats INR 341,929,718.87 as the amount ‘with ... GST.’ For the estimate, the detailed PDF SOQ's tax-inclusive value aligns with the NIT's rounded INR 40.35 Crore; however, bidder must not modify the portal BOQ and should seek portal-entry clarification.
The four tree-felling bands total 5,566 trees (2,226 + 2,226 + 557 + 557), but the timber carriage quantity is uniformly 4,978 cu.m; these are different units and not inherently contradictory, yet the tender provides no stated conversion or enumeration basis. Treat this as a quantity-reconciliation gap rather than a confirmed conflict.
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 whether rock excavation is included in the quoted premium/discount without separate payment, or issue a rock-excavation BOQ item/rate and measurement rule. This can materially change earthwork cost and programme.
Clarify whether bidders should quote GST separately or only premium/discount, because the PDF SOQ includes tax while the locked upload BOQ carries GST rate 0 and repeats the excluding-tax amount in the GST-inclusive field.
Provide certified survey/contour data and state how quantity changes from final RFC levels/drawings will be measured and paid. Tender contours and levels are disclaimed/tentative, while claims for differing site conditions are barred.
Confirm the contractual overall completion period, milestone month numbers, milestone consequences and LDA handover date/areas. The work-programme page states one-month mobilisation after LDA identification, but the extracted table does not expose numerical month values for completion activities.
Confirm available port/jetty handling windows, statutory permits, approved borrow/disposal locations, timber stacking destinations, and whether any employer facilitation is provided. Key RCC materials must come from the mainland and bidder bears sea transport, roads, borrow/disposal and related charges.
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.
The site is around 520 km by sea from Port Blair and 45 km from Campbell Bay, with limited ship/air services. Steel, cement, fabricated structures and RCC aggregates are mainland-sourced, exposing the bidder to freight, weather, vessel/jetty capacity, storage and schedule risk.
Bidder is deemed to know access, ports/jetties, ground/subsoil, water table, weather, labour, materials and laws; NTPC bars later claims. The SOQ similarly rejects claims where actual site conditions differ from bidder assumptions.
Owner disclaims contour accuracy; tender drawings are preliminary, do not show the full range, and may be altered progressively; levels are tentative and final RFC levels govern. This creates quantity and productivity exposure unless the change/payment mechanism is clarified.
Multiple agencies may work simultaneously in limited space. Contractor must coordinate and reschedule without changing overall completion; unit rates include these contingencies and NTPC will pay no compensation for difficult conditions or such rescheduling.
Bidder must arrange construction water/power, colonies and welfare, offices/stores, laboratory, access/haul roads, drainage, borrow and disposal sites, royalties/levies, equipment repair and material security. The access road and drainage near site will not be available at mobilisation.
Concrete sources must be identified immediately after award and approved mix designs completed within two months. Site laboratory and skilled QA/QC manpower are due within 30 days of mobilisation; third-party testing and all QA/QC are at no extra cost.
The supplied set omits GCC/SCC terms for liquidated damages, performance security, retention, defect liability, termination, indemnities and payment timing. These risks cannot be priced reliably until the complete contractual conditions are obtained.
