Indian Oil Corporation Limited Plain Copier Paper ISI Marked to IS 14490 Q4 Tender 2026

Tender Overview

The Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOC) invites bids for the supply of ISI marked plain copier paper (V3) complying with IS 14490 (Q4). The procurement scope is limited to the supply of goods, with no BOQ items listed. The tender emphasizes ISI certification, paper categorization by size and GSM, and packing standards. Location and start/end dates are not published, and the estimated value as well as EMD amount are not disclosed, signaling a need for bidders to request clarification or submit with standard IOC bid formats. A key differentiator is the explicit retention of purchase preference for Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) with eligibility criteria to enable price matching up to L-1+15% in specific scenarios. The option clause contemplates quantity fluctuations up to 25% of bid quantity during and after contract award, with delivery timelines anchored to the original delivery schedule. IOC’s ATC highlights mandatory certificate uploads and a risk-based rejection if certificates are missing.
