Tender Overview
Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd seeks support services in Chennai, Tamil Nadu for a multifaceted packaging and logistics scope, including filling of small containers (500 ml to 5 L), pails and drums (6 L to 26 L), drums/barrels (50 L to 210 L), coupon printing (100 nos per unit), segregation and repacking in storage areas, packaging assistance, filter cleaning, and record maintenance with logistics. The specification indicates a manpower mix: semi-skilled, skilled engineering/maintenance, and unskilled labor, aligned to the storage and packaging workflow. The tender emphasizes flexible quantity handling via an option clause and requires mandatory site inspection for technical qualification, GST registration compliance in Tamil Nadu, and CA-certified turnover verification. The absence of BOQ items suggests a services-oriented package with collaboration requirements rather than a fixed-material buy.
The procurement is location-bound to Chennai, with delivery and workforce requirements tied to BPCL’s petroleum storage and distribution operations. Unique aspects include a price escalation refusal during the contract, documentary proof for BQC, and potential EMD exemption pathways for eligible applicants under government schemes. The opportunity targets vendors capable of comprehensive packaging support and on-site handling. The tender emphasizes compliance and verifiable past performance as differentiators.
