8ONGC’s Western Offshore team has launched a first-ever attempt to hire jack-up accommodation units with  more than 100 people.
8The EOI sets strict readiness and safety gates while leaving commercial levers for the upcoming tender.
8Multi-year demand signals could shape vendor mobilisation and narrow the field before bids.
8And it is three units a year

8A limited LLI tender for unengineered tower internals at BPCL Kochi drew a lone technical bid. EIL has tightened commercials by inserting site-work terms and a 70% site-work price floor against the supply value. A payment-term remap and template artefacts around GeM vs CPP add to the fine print bidders must parse.

8ONGC has opened a single-bid, year-round empanelment for jack-up rigs while reserving price/QCBS for limited tenders.
8The framework leans on strict TPI/class acceptance, a 180-day mobilisation clock, and zero-rate zones after breakdown allowances.
8STCC-published tug recovery formulas and contractor-borne pandemic/PPE costs narrow dispute vectors but push readiness risk to bidders.

Technip Energies wins BPCL Bina HGU PMC at Rs 6.36 crore after three bid extensions — BPCL Bina HGU project
8BPCL closed a tightly governed GeM two-packet PMC for adding ID/FD capacity at the Bina HGU after three deadline shifts. Only one qualifying price surfaced, with Prism Infratech disqualified and Technip Energies taking L1. The contract leans on free-issue machines, composite testing, and a 2027 TA commissioning window.
Pragna pips iFluids by 0.1% for HAZOP/LOPA at HPCL’s Visakh Refinery, with steep gaps to L3/L4
8A razor-thin L1-L2 gap points to RA-driven compression in a specialist scope. The two-step jump to L3 and L4 says capabilities and cost bases diverge sharply beyond the top tier. The real story is whether price pressure erodes chairing depth across VRMP-complex systems.
CR3 takes BPCL’s CDU3/NHGU decontamination award as BPCL tightens interfaces, KPIs and TPIA compliance in Mumbai refinery.
8BPCL has awarded the CDU3/NHGU decontamination package with the top two bids separated by just 3.0%. The techno-commercial amendment tightened BQC to TPIA-approved documents and shifted key interfaces in temporary piping and electricals. The LD/KPI structure signals how BPCL intends to run its 2026 turnaround—details inside.
Span Chem wins HCU/LOBS/DAS decontamination at BPCL MR as 48-hour LD-heavy SoW sets the pace
8BPCL MR’s TA’26 decontamination package went to Span Chem at a sharp discount to the L2/L3 cluster. The SoW demands 48-hour completion with hour-metered LDs and a zero-benzene/H2S KPI slate. The split of utilities and temporary works clarifies interfaces while pushing execution risk downstream.
Secon wins HPCL’s VNPL statutory-approval package at ~Rs 1.77 crore; scope stiffened with CZMP mandate
8HPCL closed the VNPL approvals tender with Secon edging out SKP by 15.5%. A late Corrigendum hardened the CRZ scope by mandating CZMP from listed government agencies. The option clause and integrity pact weave flexibility with stricter governance.

GGL hard-codes O&M floors and PV evaluation in CNG compressor rate contract, adds IE3 motors and caps gas loss at 0.5%
8GGL’s latest CNG compressor rate contract shifts the game from capex to lifecycle, with O&M floors stepping up to 19% by year nine. A 0.5% gas-loss cap and class-based PRS design/testing move shrinkage and safety policing to the bidder’s side. With reverse auction on tap and a 32-month CBG, the commercial leash is tight without inviting suicidal quotes.
EIL opens limited RFQ for reciprocating labyrinth compressor under NRL’s 360 KTPA PPU, with NDA-gated docs and nil EMD
8A limited vendor pool will navigate NDA gates and NIC registration to access the full MR and BOQ. The client has waived EMD but held firm on a 120-day bid hold and a strict exceptions regime. FOB with an 18-month window sets delivery risk boundaries for a process-critical machine.
CPCL rolls PSA nitrogen rental tender forward as no-idle clauses and 500 nm³/hr floor test bidder appetite
8CPCL’s PSA nitrogen rental has moved forward through a string of extensions while keeping RA enabled. The tender hard-codes no idle payments for CPCL-side downtime and fixes a 500 nm³/hr consumption floor. That combination tightens vendor cashflows even as CPCL promises power/utilities and location inside the fence.
PLL/EIL push Dahej DCS bid due forward as lifecycle-cost policing and zero-deviation rules stay intact
8PLL’s Dahej DCS tender has been extended twice. The pack keeps zero-deviation and a bottomline-with-lifecycle evaluation that prices training, CPWAMC and UR baskets. The CIF import-content disclosure raises the bar on customs clarity while OEM-only BQC shapes the vendor pool.
IOCL extends Panipat naphtha tank EPC bid twice to 10 Sep; RA-driven price discovery stays intact
8IOCL has pushed the Panipat naphtha tank package in two steps without touching the RA playbook. The tender remains a “critical works contract” with stiff PQCs and GST-inclusive evaluation. The cadence signals IOCL’s bias for competition quality over a rushed close.
PLL/EIL extends PDH PP water-service pump RFQ by 18 days, keeps zero-deviation and group-wise evaluation
8EIL has pushed the bid due date for PLL’s PDH PP water-service pumps to 16 September, from 29 August. The extension arrives without loosening zero-deviation bidding or the group-wise evaluation construct. Whether the extra 18 days widens the bidder bench or simply de-risks document readiness will show up at opening.

8What really happened?

8NPK within the existing 43,000-MT nano-fertilizer cap is not a surprise.
8There is an opportunity here for business development for vendors

Three qualify as IOCL tests buried lines with LRUT; duration ambiguity clouds crew sizing — IOCL/Guwahati Refinery LRUT.
8A four-way LRUT race at Guwahati has yielded three technical qualifiers, with one bidder dropped.

8The SOW hard-codes 95/99 availability, time-boxed mobilization/repairs, and compressor overhauls while bundling consumables and spares logistics.

8OIL has awarded the Duliajan well-services upkeep and SRP fabrication package to Dhillon Engineering at Rs 25.90 lakh.
8The L2 and L3 bids trailed by 32.1% and 88.9%, signalling divergent risk loading in a tightly specified SOW.

8Only one bidder cleared technical/PQC filters for OIL’s Kakinada shore-base package.
8Two participants were disqualified, underscoring how prescriptive facility and CCU standards shape eligibility.
8The clarifications trail is not on record in the excerpts, leaving open whether any cures were offered.

8All nine Tier I/II strategy firms participated, but ONGC refused timeline relaxations and experience dilutions.
8Mandatory TPIA verification and hydrocarbon-specific thresholds stayed intact despite multiple requests.
8An unusual amendment strips both the replacement penalty and the safe-harbour, shifting staffing control to a committee gate.

8The extension intersects a contract architecture that caps standby at 80% and repair at 50% of operating, with strict time cut-outs.
8Acceptance testing and HSE gatekeeping stay firmly in place, tightening the path to mobilisation.

8The bid locks a 60-day mobilization and a 5% performance security under Integrity Pact scrutiny.

Strict truck-powered APU spec and contractor-borne costs hold after pre-bid queries for ONGC APU Ankleshwar & WSS Ahmedabad
8Four bidders pushed for modular and “equivalent” options, but ONGC kept the spec welded to API-monogrammed treating iron and on-truck integration.
