Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited CS Seamless Pipe Tender Bhopal Madhya Pradesh 2026

Tender Overview

Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) invites bids for the supply of CS seamless pipes in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. The scope specifies goods-only supply with pipes in multiple OD/THK configurations; delivery must occur within 90 days from PO or QAP approval. Pipes must arrive in 5-7 meter lengths, with a ±10% quantity variation allowed. Bidders must secure QAP approval within 15 days of PO and resubmit as required. When engaging through traders, a valid OEM authorization is required. The procurement emphasizes pre-dispatch and site inspections by BHEL’s noted agencies, with post-receipt QC by BHEL, and digital invoicing via the SUVIDHA portal. A cautious evaluation considers technical compliance with vendor documents and the sample QAP inline with the specified lot, ensuring the final offer aligns with PQR and drawings. Unique delivery/inspection sequencing and the 90-day payment window, including MSE/SME-friendly terms, shape supplier readiness for this government procurement. The absence of a BOQ indicates a pure supply contract for CS seamless pipe products, with risk allocation on delivery and quality acceptance. This tender targets established pipe manufacturers and authorized dealers able to meet BHEL’s QAP, documentation, and transit protection requirements.
