Tender Overview
Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) invites bids for ERW PIPEs and HDGNB pipe variants aligned to IS1239 and API5LGRB requirements, with multiple item codes referenced (e.g., 60.8 x 4.5, 508.00 x 8.74, 406.40 x 8.74). The contract contemplates flexible quantity up to 25% during and after order placement, at contracted rates, and delivery timelines tied to the last delivery order date. The opportunity covers suppliers capable of delivering specialty steel tubes, including HDG finishes, under a government procurement framework. Unique terms include GST handling by bidders and mandatory vendor-code creation documentation. Location details are partially specified; the tender emphasizes standardization across multiple pipe dimensions and coatings. This is a targeted opportunity for manufacturers and distributors of ERW pipe products to participate in BHEL’s heavy industry supply chain. Bidders should assess capacity for unitized deliveries and ensure compliance with the option clause mechanics and early delivery implications.
