The procurement is described as an annual, as-and-when-required supply with delivery to Bolani Ore Mines Bottom Store. The bid emphasizes L-1 landed cost evaluation and a single-source approach for Oxygen/DA/Nitrogen. Bids must quote on an M3 basis with inclusive charges; loading/insurance to be included. The clause-based option allows quantity adjustments up to 25% during and after contract formation, with minimum delivery extensions.
