The Shipping Corporation Of India Limited (SCI) invites bids through the GEM portal for marine fuels conforming to IS 16731 (Q2) at Mumbai, Maharashtra. The procurement scope shows no BOQ quantity data, with the estimated value and EMD currently not disclosed. The tender emphasizes standard compliance and ATC terms, including a 25% quantity adjustment right and flexible delivery timing tied to original/extended periods. This opportunity targets suppliers capable of IS 16731 (Q2) fuel specifications and disciplined delivery management in a Mumbai port ecosystem. The unique ATC underscores quantity variation during contract execution, potentially affecting pricing and scheduling, making responsiveness and documentation critical.
Key differentiators include standard compliance with IS 16731 (Q2) and the option clause enabling bid quantity adjustments, which bidders must model in their commercial proposals. The absence of explicit BOQ data suggests bidders should prepare for contingency pricing and flexible delivery planning, with a focus on ISI/IS 16731 certifications and secure logistics for marine fuel supply in a port setting.
