Tender Overview
BPCL (Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited) in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh invites bids for the open e-tender for hot repair of LPG cylinders ex Loni LPG Plant. The tender requires an EMD of ₹2,50,000, payable before tender opening. Location is Ghaziabad, UP 201001, and the procurement category covers specialized cylinder repair services rather than a standard goods purchase. A key distinguishing factor is the clear prerequisite for EMD submission or MSE exemption verification. This opportunity targets service providers with automotive or gas cylinder maintenance capabilities and access to BPCL repair workflows. Ensure readiness to comply with BPCL’s ATC terms and to demonstrate prior repair experience under similar GMP or safety-critical operations. Unique aspects include the services envelope and the reliance on supplier eligibility verification to enable bid evaluation.
