8It wants a major job done but insists only public sector companies can participate

8A silent shift in key timelines of PNGRB’s high-stakes gap analysis tender raises questions about procedural clarity. No official corrigendum issued yet for calendar changes impacting bidder planning.

ONGC floats zero EMD relay calibration tender with tight post-bid compliance
8ONGC’s latest relay calibration tender for its Jodhpur asset removes the entry barrier of EMD but enforces strict pre-submission compliance.
8The contract, covering three years of relay calibration at E-760-13, offers vendor-friendly cash terms but tight procedural expectations.
Cost pressures and execution risks loom large as ONGC floats LSTK fire protection overhaul in Ahmedabad asset
8ONGC has launched a high-stakes LSTK tender for revamping fire systems across 18 installations under stringent timelines and comprehensive civil work obligations.
8While the scope reflects rising safety compliance, it could also deter smaller players due to engineering depth and liquidity exposure.
TPI tender for chemical QC: ONGC drops EMD, tightens compliance in centralized push
8ONGC's tender for third-party inspection of limestone and MCC batches enforces stringent bonding and sampling compliance while waiving off EMD.
8With digitized submission, centralized payment via Noida, and strict SOPs for testing and sealing, it aims to raise the bar on chemical QC without raising bid barriers.
8But absence of resolution clauses and undefined turnaround time at labs may leave TPI vendors navigating grey zones post-sampling.
Long-term nitrogen pumping services across three assets: tight conditions
8ONGC has launched a five-year, high-value custom bid via GeM for Nitrogen Pumping Services across its Jorhat, Assam, and Ankleshwar assets.
8Despite long-term visibility, bidders must navigate tight qualification clauses, no startup/MSME exemptions, and limited flexibility in bid terms.
ONGC eyes turnkey catering & housekeeping overhaul in Western Offshore, vendors must deliver DP2-enabled logistics and end-to-end hygiene ops
8ONGC has floated an ambitious EOI inviting global and domestic service providers for an integrated catering, housekeeping, and logistics contract across its Western Offshore installations.
8The scope spans 15 platforms, 10 vessels, and up to 150 mobile units, with DP2-class vessel requirements and stringent offshore compliance—all bundled under a yet-to-be-issued ICB tender.

8ONGC has awarded a high-value pre-engineering survey contract to Geoservices Maritime at Rs. 31.29 crore.
8With a nearly 145% spread between L1 and L4, the bid outcome signals pricing volatility and potential margin pressure for future tenders.

BPCL’s Bina Clad Vessel Tender Sets Bar High: Only Proven Players Need Apply
8EIL’s pre-tender call for Alloy 600-clad vessels under the BPCL Bina expansion flags high material and fabrication complexity. With single-piece dispatch and tight 13-month delivery, the scope sets up an elite race among qualified fabricators. No mention of ASME or equivalent fabrication stamps — surprising for such a specialized scope.
ONGC Hazira Revamp Puts Shutdown Experience at Forefront; EIL Mandates Revamp Credentials Beyond Mechanical Scope
8In a move signaling risk aversion, EIL’s BQC for ONGC’s Hazira revamp explicitly mandates past shutdown or revamp work. Scope mentions hot tapping, live-line tie-ins, and bypasses but no risk-sharing mechanism yet defined. Bidders may raise red flags in PTM. If you have done composite jobs with tanks or pipeline laying, then only mechanical components count, and this is a deliberate narrowing that filters out over-represented scope claims.
Konkan LNG Floats EPCM Tender for Fire Water Overhaul; QCBS Route Signals Bidder Scrutiny Surge
8Konkan LNG’s latest EPCM tender for fire water system upgradation pivots on a QCBS route, demanding robust technical depth and payroll strength. Key clauses hint at risk transference and tighter document authenticity norms—raising entry barriers for fringe consultancies.
Petronet LNG’s Dahej Bagging Tender: EIL Holds Ground on Specs as Vendors Seek Flexibility
8EIL has largely stuck to standard clauses while addressing bidder concerns on instrumentation definitions, power scope demarcation, and FAT realism. However, recurring queries on packaging integration, PLC redundancy, and product testing hint at deeper vendor pushback on operational practicality.
EIL Extends DCU Revamp E&I Tender for NRL Again as Vendor Clarifications Lag
8Bid timeline pushed to July 28 amid unresolved queries on vendor makes and scope exclusions. While MSMEs gain relief on EMD terms, key component approvals remain post-award, increasing post-bid uncertainty.

Empanelled-Only Lockout Limits Competition in IOCL Rerouting Bid
8Only 10 pre-cleared vendors can contest this pipeline re-routing tender — eliminating market discovery and stifling broader MSME participation. Even firms with in-house capabilities must hire from a fixed list for geotechnical work, fracturing accountability and limiting execution flexibility.
IOCL Paradip Shutdown Tender Tightens Grip on PQC; No Startup Leeway or PPP-MII Boost
8In a notable deviation from GeM norms, IOCL has barred startup and PPP-MII relaxations for its NHT-CCR shutdown tender, signalling tighter scrutiny and risk aversion for critical maintenance jobs.
BPCL Floats Dual-Part E&I Tender for Mahul-Rasayani Pipeline Amid Tight 7-Month Execution Window
8In a push to streamline multi-product and lube oil flow from Mumbai to Rasayani, BPCL has released an aggressive E&I tender with dual location scope. Despite relaxed bid grouping, stringent documentation and no MSME relief raise contractor burden.
IOCL Tender Limits Market Entry for Foreign Tech via Domestic-Only Clause
8Despite global advances in Leak Detection tech, IOCL’s domestic-only stipulation narrows the innovation channel.
The refinery demands Future-Ready Flare Study for Haldia: Multi-Scenario, Statutory-Centric Brief Challenges Vendors
8The tender on flare adequacy raises the bar on technical consulting — mandating predictive load modeling, radiation risk analysis, and costed mitigation proposals. A clear move toward statutorily compliant, power-failure resilient infrastructure.

8Despite multiple bidder pleas for relief on risk sharing, milestone payments, and PESO coordination, the owner has stood firm on all counts.
8A reversal on MSE policy applicability, however, hints at strategic course correction under procurement scrutiny.
