Corrigendum  

Ref:- NIT NO-TA/TCL/09/21-22 for the work of “Repair and relaying of sewer lines in BHEL Township, Bhopal."

“Instructions to Bidders” given at sr no 26 which was published in BHEL website on 29.06.2021, after corrigendum, bidders are requested to read sr no 26 as under:- 

26. BHEL reserves the right to go for Reverse Auction (RA) (Guidelines as available on www.bhel.com) instead of opening the e-bids/sealed envelope price bid only, submitted by the bidder along with the tender offer. This will, finally, be decided after the techno-commercial evaluation subject to fulfilment of the condition of availability of two or more techno-commercially qualified bidders as stipulated in extant RA guidelines.

e-bid/sealed envelope price bids of all the techno-commercially qualified bidders shall be opened and the same shall be considered for RA. L1 of e-bids/sealed envelope price bids shall become start price for RA.

Wherever more than one lowest e-bid/sealed envelope price bids are identical, RA committee shall declare the start price by reducing the lowest e-bid/sealed envelope price bid by a maximum of one bid decrement. Bid decrement shall be decided by BHEL before RA process starts.

In case any bidder(s) do(es) not participate in online Reverse Auction, their e-bid/sealed envelope price bid along with applicable loading, if any, shall be considered for ranking.

In case of splitting requirement, bidders who were removed from participation in RA may also be considered for counter offer if the pre-stated (NIT) numbers of parties do not accept the counter offer. However, principle of splitting to N-1 bidder shall be maintained in line with extant Works Policy. 

Bidders who are willing to participate in RA will have to necessarily submit ‘Process Compliance Forms (PCF)’ (to the designated service provider) prior to commencement of RA. The bidder who has not submitted Process Compliance Form (PCF), will not be able to participate in RA but his e-bid/sealed envelope price bid will be considered for ranking.

Wherever six or more techno-commercially qualified bidders are available, RA would be conducted amongst the first 50% of the bidders arranged in the order of prices from lowest to highest. Number of bidders eligible for participating in RA would be rounded off to next higher integer value if number of techno-commercially qualified bidders is odd (e.g. if 7 bids are technically qualified, RA will be conducted amongst the lowest four bidders).

However, there will be no elimination of bidders who are MSE or qualifying under PPP-MII, order 2017.
 
In case of reverse auction, the details of business rules and other terms and conditions of RA shall be intimated to all the techno-commercially qualified bidders at an appropriate time.  

Other Tender Terms & conditions shall remain unchanged.
	
Submitted for kind approval of above proposal. This will pave way of issuance of CORRIGENDUM.
