All important dates as they stand after corrigenda: publication, pre-bid/clarification deadline, bid submission deadline, bid opening, and bid validity period.
The offer/price must remain valid for 90 days from the Part-I (technical bid) opening date.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
No estimated tender value or rate is populated in the price schedule; bidders must enter their own basic rate.
Tender cost, earnest money deposit and performance bank guarantee are all stated as not applicable.
Quote a firm rate per piece; L1 is evaluated on total destination cost to BHEL. Price variation is not applicable.
For indigenous supply, 100% direct EFT is due within 45 days for MSEs, 60 days for Medium Enterprises and 90 days for non-MSMEs; the clock runs from material receipt or 15 days after complete PO documents, whichever is later, and only for accepted value.
Imports are payable 100% (less Indian agency commission, if any) by wire transfer on 45-day CAD credit; a 90-day usance LC is allowed with 0.50% loading and respective bank charges to respective accounts.
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.
The supplier must be the original forge master and demonstrate one single prior tube-sheet-forging reference that simultaneously meets all PQC 3(a)(i)-(vii): specified/equivalent ASME material, OD at least 860 mm, thickness at least 140 mm excluding hub, feed-water-heater/heat-exchanger application, stated plant service, and successful hydro-test status before the enquiry month.
Provide up to six latest qualifying customer references in Annexure 1 (or an English heater/heat-exchanger manufacturer's certificate containing the same data). Failure to provide PQC 3(a) and 3(b), unsatisfactory verification, or no customer response results in technical rejection.
Raw billets must come from reputed mills; the forging manufacturer must provide those mills' manufacturing/testing facilities, size ranges and customers, and must submit its own detailed manufacturing and testing procedures. BHEL may assess a new vendor at its works, and end-customer approval of the qualified-bidder list is final and binding.
An indigenous bidder must hold valid GST registration unless legally exempt and supporting an exemption declaration. ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSMS 45001 are stated as compliance requirements; inspection/test equipment must have valid calibration and be controlled.
An agency/trading-house offer is eligible only with valid manufacturer authorisation and agreement. Manufacturer and agent cannot both bid; an agent cannot represent more than one manufacturer. Participation in more than one bid, including as JV member/partner where applicable, disqualifies all affected bids.
A bidder from a country sharing a land border with India is eligible only if registered with the competent authority. Bids from BHEL-banned firms, or bidders engaging banned firms, are rejected.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Supply 2 pieces of tubesheet forging, material code HE9717193150, size DIA 920 x 175, L=750, for delivery FOR BHEL RC Puram.
Manufacture to drawing 31750101758 Rev 02, product standard HE51155 Rev 10, UT standard HE71044 Rev 01, ASME Section II Part A 2025 edition and quality plan HY/HE/001/TUBE SHEET Rev 07; inspection/certification is by BHEL-approved TPIA and IBR in Form III G.
Complete delivery within 14 weeks from the PO date. Drawings and QP are due within 7 days of PO, and the final inspection call is due 15 days before the PO delivery date.
The quoted price must include IBR charges, packing and forwarding. No machining allowance is provided for machining at BHEL works.
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 e-procurement on the NIC portal. Part I is the techno-commercial/PQC bid; Part II is the price bid. Offers in another mode are not considered.
All main techno-commercial pages, ITB and SCC must be signed and stamped; corrections/additions must be authenticated. Incomplete offers are liable to rejection.
Upload the supplied BOQ after entering only bidder name and permitted values; do not modify or replace the template, otherwise the bid is 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.
SCC states 18 months from dispatch or 12 months from commissioning, whichever is earlier; ITB states 18 months from supply or 12 months from commissioning. SCC prevails because it expressly controls discrepancies in bid information, so price against the dispatch-based wording, while seeking confirmation.
The BOQ's active tender line is the two-piece tubesheet forging, but its total row contains residual text for 'Construction of chamber for 100mm sluice plates', item5, 10 Nos. This conflicts with Annexure A and should not be priced; Annexure A/SCC define the specific scope, but BHEL should issue or confirm a clean BOQ because bidders are forbidden to modify it.
The workbook identifies this BOQ as 'INR Only' and defaults the line currency to INR, but the column heading allows 'INR / Other Currency'. Use INR as the tender-specific setting unless BHEL confirms otherwise; the generic ITB import provisions do not override the supplied BOQ configuration.
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.
Ask BHEL to remove/confirm the unrelated chamber-construction residual cells and state whether all bidders, including overseas forge masters, must quote only in INR. The current BOQ cannot safely be corrected by bidders because modification is prohibited.
Ask BHEL to disclose whether the estimated tender value is at least Rs 2 crore and, if so, provide Annexure VI. The tender value/rate is blank, while the ITB makes a signed Integrity Pact rejection-critical at that threshold.
Obtain a written ruling whether the 18-month limb starts on dispatch or supply/receipt; this changes warranty exposure, especially for imports and transit time.
Ask whether any named end-customer approval or pre-approved forge-master list applies, and whether a customer non-response may be cured with alternate evidence. The PQC makes customer verification and end-customer approval determinative, creating a bid/no-bid risk outside the bidder's control.
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.
Supply delay attracts 0.5% per week or part thereof, capped at 10% of delayed-portion value (the SCC-selected basis). A proposed delivery deviation is also loaded 0.5% per week for evaluation and may be rejected.
After an uncured breach, BHEL may terminate and recover 10% of contract value as a stated pre-estimate without further evidence, set it off against bills/retentions or money under other BHEL contracts, pursue legal recovery, and additionally apply LD, debarment or suspension of business dealings.
BHEL will load offers by the current 0.188% TPIA rate. A non-productive inspection visit caused by no material or rejection is fully recoverable from the supplier; subsequent indigenous inspections caused by non-readiness/rework/rejection are also at supplier cost.
A non-MSME indigenous bidder may wait 90 days after the later documentary/material trigger; packaged items face 10% retention. GST reimbursement depends on invoice matching/ITC availability, and denied or delayed credit attributable to the supplier is recoverable with interest.
During guarantee, non-compliant goods must be repaired/replaced/re-executed at bidder expense; the guarantee restarts for affected parts. The SCC's dispatch-based trigger can shorten elapsed logistics time for the supplier but conflicts with ITB's supply-based trigger and needs clarification.
A qualifying reference can still fail if its customer does not respond, a new vendor may face a works assessment, and BHEL's end customer has final approval over the qualified-bidder list. These decisions must fit a short tender and 14-week PO delivery cycle.
BHEL may vary scope during execution; work that should have been anticipated must be performed without price impact. The confidentiality undertaking passes foreign-collaborator damages caused by the supplier, employees or permitted subcontractors fully to the supplier, payable on BHEL's demand without further proof.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
