180 days from opening of the technical bid; any requested extension must keep all terms and prices unchanged, though a bidder may withdraw instead of extending.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
Rs. 18,08,65,891.73 inclusive of all taxes and duties: new TAS supply/installation/testing/commissioning Rs. 6,24,98,096.03; 8-year CAMC for new TAS after 2-year warranty Rs. 1,87,49,428.81; 10-year CAMC of existing TAS/equipment Rs. 9,96,18,366.90.
Rs. 4,53,000. Pay online, or submit IOCL-format BG, or IRDAI-insurer ISB. BG/ISB validity must extend at least 3 months beyond the 180-day bid validity. Demand draft, banker's cheque and SWIFT are not accepted for this domestic tender.
Nil; tender documents are downloadable free of cost from the IOCL e-tender website.
Security deposit is generally 10% of total executed contract value excluding GST, without an upper ceiling or interest. Initial security is 25% of the SD and is due within 21 days of LOA for this contract over Rs. 10 crore; the remaining 75% is recovered at 10% of certified running-bill value excluding GST. BG is valid 3 months beyond the 12-month defects-liability period.
Mobilization/milestone advances for equipment or packages, if applicable under Part A, are released only after PBG. Separate PBG may be taken for supply/installation and CAMC; without a valid CAMC PBG, CAMC payment is not released, and the normal CAMC PBG is 5% of AMC value as specified in Part A.
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.
Within the last 7 years ending the last day of the month before the original bid-submission end date, complete either 3 similar works of at least Rs. 1,87,50,000 each, 2 of at least Rs. 2,50,00,000 each, or 1 of at least Rs. 3,12,50,000. Main-contractor and qualifying subcontractor work may be used with the specified evidence.
Qualifying work is either TAS in petroleum/LPG/bitumen/petrochemical industry with remote tank-truck or tank-wagon loading and TAS software, or process automation in listed hazardous-process industries. The latter route additionally requires TAS evidence at the minimum loading/ATG scope and bidder-owned development, customization and maintenance rights in the TAS software.
Standalone annual turnover of the bidding entity must be at least Rs. 3,74,99,000 in any one of FY 2023-24, 2024-25 or 2025-26, supported by audited financial statements; provisional statements are not accepted.
The bidding company's financial net worth must be positive in the last audited financial year; failure causes summary rejection.
Foreign bids are not accepted. Consortium/MOU bids are not accepted, and experience gained as part of a JV/consortium/MOU is not accepted. MSE and startup PQ relaxations do not apply because this is a works contract.
Pass/fail commercial submissions are bidder PAN, valid PF registration, valid GSTIN/GST registration, legal-constitution document, and authority for the person using the DSC to upload/submit the bid.
Only Class-I local suppliers (local content at least 50%) and Class-II local suppliers (20% to below 50%) may bid. Only Class-I receives the 20% purchase-preference margin; Class-II receives no preference.
The project consultant/EPCM and its affiliates, subcontractors, consultants or suppliers cannot participate directly or indirectly; affiliate includes a person/entity holding at least 10% capital or voting capital of the consultant.
The bidder must disclose IOCL/MoPNG blacklisting or holiday listing. False declarations or forged credentials permit rejection, contract termination, EMD/SD forfeiture and holiday listing. IOCL may holiday-list for fraud, insolvency, statutory/safety breaches, defective work, non-performance, withdrawal/upward revision during validity, poor performance or Integrity Pact breach.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of an upgraded Terminal Automation System at IOCL Bathinda Terminal, Punjab, plus CAMC of the new TAS and CAMC of existing/retained TAS systems and equipment.
The BOQ expressly includes TAS management, loading-rack computer, access-control, CCTV and web servers; operator consoles; engineering workstations; tank-farm management and tank-truck entry systems; associated works and other SOR equipment. Quantity is one system/lot, with itemwise detail governed by the attached SOR.
Complete the project in 10 months from the 30th day of SAP PO or 15 days from emailing the PO, whichever is later, excluding CAMC. New TAS carries 2 years warranty followed by 8 years CAMC; retained equipment carries 10 years CAMC.
CAMC for the new system must total at least 30% of quoted capital-works price and includes replacement of listed IT servers/workstations at the end of year 5 from SAT (start of the 4th CAMC year). Retained items are handed over in working condition for integration, after which the TAS vendor is solely responsible for their maintenance.
One contractor is required. Evaluation uses the combined capital-works and revenue/CAMC quote; IOCL reserves the right to increase or decrease work quantities during execution.
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.
Two-part electronic bid on https://iocletenders.nic.in: Part I contains all technical/commercial details and supporting documents without price; Part II contains only the completed BOQ. Physical/manual bids are rejected except specifically requested originals such as EMD BG/ISB and post-LOA Integrity Pact.
Technical bid, price bid and subsequent communications must be digitally signed and uploaded. The bidder must submit documentary authority for the DSC user; scanned physical signature or digital signature on the one-page tender-acceptance declaration constitutes total acceptance.
If EMD is a BG/ISB, upload its scan in the un-priced bid and deliver the matching original in a sealed envelope marked ‘Offline EMD’, bidder name, tender number, and bid-end date/time to the tender-issuing authority within 7 working days after technical-bid opening. Registered post, speed post, courier, hand delivery, or direct insurer delivery is allowed; IOCL bears no transit risk.
POA must be on appropriate non-judicial stamp paper and notarized. Company authority is by certified board resolution or POA supported by board resolution; partnership/LLP authority is POA plus partnership deed/LLP agreement; cooperative society authority is its resolution. Non-English evidence requires notarized/authenticated English translation.
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.
The tender-specific NIT bars foreign bidders and expressly rejects SWIFT EMD, while generic Part B describes foreign-bid EMD by ePayOne/BG/SWIFT. The tender-specific NIT prevails: foreign bids are ineligible and SWIFT must not be used.
NIT component breakup states Rs. 6,24,98,096.03 for new TAS capital work, while the bidding BOQ calculates Rs. 6,24,98,096.02. The overall tender estimate remains Rs. 18,08,65,891.73 in both. For pricing, use the protected BOQ value/template because it is the specific financial-bid schedule and must not be modified.
The NIT and BOQ use MnC/NR/PSO/ENG/PT-111/26-27, but the attached undertakings workbook shows MnC/NR/PSO/ENGG/PT-111/26-27. Use the NIT/portal reference with one ‘G’ in ENG when labeling the bid and offline EMD, and seek portal confirmation before editing protected workbook cells.
Tender-specific NIT says the Integrity Pact is signed by the proprietor for a proprietary firm, while generic Part B permits proprietor or an authorized POA holder. The safer tender-specific requirement is proprietor signature; obtain written confirmation if a POA holder is intended.
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 10% works SD applies to the entire combined capital-plus-10-year-CAMC contract value and whether separate 5% CAMC PBG is additionally required throughout CAMC. This materially affects bank limits, retention and cash flow.
Please issue the definitive retained-equipment inventory, age/condition report, spares availability and joint handover/acceptance test, and confirm exclusions for latent defects and obsolete/end-of-life items before the vendor assumes sole 10-year CAMC responsibility.
Please confirm whether the bidder should leave the attached undertaking workbook's ‘ENGG’ reference untouched or correct it to the NIT/portal ‘ENG’ reference without triggering a tampering concern.
For a proprietary bidder, confirm whether only the proprietor may sign the Integrity Pact (NIT) or an authorized POA holder may sign (Part B). A defective IP can disqualify the bid.
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.
After LOA, prices remain fixed through delivery/completion with no material, labour or transport escalation unless an express escalation clause applies. The exposure extends across a 10-month implementation and 10 years of warranty/CAMC support.
Works SD is 10% excluding GST, carries no interest and can absorb compensation/recoveries; 25% is due shortly after LOA and balance is deducted from running bills. CAMC payments can also be withheld without valid CAMC PBG.
The contractor assumes sole maintenance responsibility for retained existing equipment for 10 years after handover in working condition. Obsolescence, hidden condition and spares risk should be priced and contractually clarified.
The minimum-priced new-TAS CAMC must include replacement of listed servers/workstations at the end of year 5 from SAT. Technology inflation, migration, compatibility and downtime risk sit with the contractor.
SHE violation penalty is Rs. 5,000 per occasion; injury adds 0.5% of contract value capped at Rs. 2,00,000 per injury; fatality adds 1% capped at Rs. 10,00,000 per injury, plus treatment/compensation obligations and possible insurance need.
False/forged credentials, bid withdrawal or upward revision, non-acceptance of LOA, contract breach, poor performance, safety/statutory violations and Integrity Pact breach can lead to rejection, EMD/SD forfeiture, termination and IOCL holiday listing.
IOCL can increase or decrease the work quantum during execution and is not bound to accept the lowest tender. The contractor must accommodate scope-volume change subject to contract rates/terms.
