8This move raises eyebrows
8And it will reshape this competitive field
8Why was it done?

ONGC’s 70T Tug tender raises bar with age caps, EFMS mandate, and no-retrofit rule
8ONGC’s latest 3-year push-pull tug hire tender has embedded strict vessel age norms, live fuel monitoring, and a ban on retrofits for key systems.
8The move narrows the playing field to high-spec, FiFi-ready tonnage, signalling a clear shift towards compliance-heavy charters.
ONGC pigging Tender: Tightens vendor entry with code prerequisite
8ONGC’s three-year intelligent pigging contract for onshore pipelines sets a hard entry bar with no MSME/startup relaxations, mandatory vendor code registration, and high security deposits. The move favours experienced players while raising compliance and capital costs for contractors.
ONGC assam tightens grip on composite Mat O&M contracts — MSME relaxations axed, PQC stiffens
8In a marked policy shift, ONGC’s Assam Asset composite mat tender strips MSMEs and startups of experience relaxations, tightening PQC to favour seasoned contractors.
8With integrity pacts, border procurement restrictions, and labour law compliance baked in, the tender signals a controlled-vendor model. The move could streamline quality but risk narrowing the competitive field.
CEIL faces No-Slack TPI mandate in ONGC’s chrome casing buy
8Certification Engineers International Limited must deliver full-scope API 5CT inspections with 100% test witnessing after ONGC’s trial failure, as the client rejects all scope relaxations and shifts cost risks onto the contractor.
ONGC eases mobilization timelines in 2D seismic tender, extends crew setup to 90 days

8ONGC has extended the submission date for its 8-well mobile water injection tender to August 25, 2025, giving contractors more time to meet strict API, hazardous area, and dissolved oxygen control norms.
8The move could broaden competition but risks delaying reservoir pressure enhancement in Ahmedabad Asset.

What logic is PLL providing for raising the cost of its LNG terminal with a tad higher capacity by a whopping Rs 4000 crore?

Bina petchem heavy-vessel tender locks in licensor IP with 15-year gag clause
8BPCL’s Bina expansion has gone to market for five massive carbon-steel process vessels under licensor Lummus’ watch. A rare 15-year NDA, coupled with staff-segregation rules, signals the tightening IP leash in India’s petchem EPC supply chain. Bidders must segregate project teams and maintain a 15-year gag on design details, an unusually long tail for fabrication contracts.The NDA bars crossover with competitor licensor projects for two years after completion, complicating HR deployment in multi-licensor yards.

IOCL Bongaigaon rolls out composite shutdown contract with 3-year compliance leash
8A single, multi-year shutdown deal at Bongaigaon Refinery hands contractors the full mechanical and safety burden — with no PQC waivers for MSEs and a capital-draining 5% PBG. Prescriptive clauses leave little room for scope-creep claims. Turnover and project value bars ensure only established shutdown specialists can bid.

CPCL shuts door on inexperienced bidders for 206F201 ACB upgrade
8CPCL’s Manali refinery has floated a six-month, lump-sum tender to double the capacity of two GE ACBs on a critical heater circuit, but has barred PQ relaxations for MSEs and startups — signalling zero tolerance for untested hands in high-risk electrical upgrades.

BCPL foam system tender drags amid scope pushback, bid date slips
8Vendors are bristling at BCPL’s refusal to freeze foam generator quantities and tank sizes, with EIL insisting NFPA-based design be bidder-led. The bid extensions signal lingering uncertainty over scope boundaries and integration details.

8CPCL’s consultancy tender for redefining its Vision, Mission and Values into a 2035 roadmap has drawn all the Big Four plus Hay and Kearney—but pre-bid pleas for softer payment schedules, lower delay penalties, and IP carve-outs have been firmly rebuffed. The ‘nil deviation’ stance signals a client-first control on cost and deliverables.
