PURCHASE PROCEDURE
6.
Aim of the Materials Management Organisation is to procure, preserve
and deliver Materials in proper time to ensure smooth progress of the
project works and administrative machinery.
7.
DEPENDANT FACTORS
7.1
Every effort will be made by the Materials Management Organisation to
meet the needs of the Engineers and the Scientists with regard to the
Materials.
But the success of the aspiration of the Materials
Management depends very much on the proper planning and timely
intimation by the concerned Engineers / Scientists to the
Materials
Management. It is, therefore, essential that these aspects are kept in view
to ensure timely procurement of materials/services.
8.
CLASSIFICATION OF MATERIALS
8.1.
The purchase can be made with advantage on the results of classification of
material and stock levels. It is, therefore essential that either of these points is
given treatment before passing on to the purchase procedure.
8.2
For procurement/accounting, the materials may be classified into following
categories:-
a) Proprietary Materials: Proprietary materials are those which are
manufactured by the makers of the main plants themselves such as
spare parts for Willys' Jeeps.
b) Non-Proprietary Materials: Non-Proprietary materials are those
which are manufactured by many firms such as
chemicals and
laboratory equipments.
c) Stock Items: Fast moving items of regular consumption as also
spares required for running repairs and periodical overhaul of
machinery and equipments are considered `Stock Items'.
The
senior
most Materials Management officer not
below E-1

INDENTING FOR PROCUREMENT
9.
FUNCTIONS OF PURCHASE DEPARTMENT
9.1
The vital functions of Purchase Department are:
(i)
What quantity to buy
(ii)
When to buy
(iii) From whom to buy
(iv) At what price to buy
(v) What quality to buy
9.2
The Purchase Department while making any purchase should see that :
i) All the purchases are made for the properly authorised requisitions
clarifying the purpose for which these are required;
ii) All the materials requisitioned
source after full enquiries;
are duly ordered out from the right
iii) The right type and quality of the materials are bought from the cheapest
source;
iv) only the right quantities are purchased in right time;
v) deliveries of all the materials are received by stipulated time;
vi) supplier's bills are paid promptly to maintain good relations with the trade;
vii) adjustments on claims due to shortage or
secured; and
due to any discrepancy are
(MM/62/2011 dated 21.07.2011)
viii) Pre-bid-conference (Wherever applicable):
(a)
Pre-bid conference shall not be held in each and every case.
However, Work Center may hold pre-bid conference in any case based on
the need/justification for the same with the prior approval of concerned L-1
officer for cases where CPA is L-1 or below and of Director concerned for
cases beyond the powers of concerned L-1 officer. Proposal for holding
pre-bid conference should be initiated preferably by the Indentor at the
indenting stage. However, if a need for holding pre-bid conference is felt by
the TC in its meeting held before invitation of the tender, then TC can also
propose for holding of the pre-bid conference.
(b)
Wherever it is decided to hold pre-bid conference, in NIT, date for
closure of sale of bidding documents should be specified, providing
sufficient time for response. It should also be indicated in NIT/bidding
documents that all bidders who buy bidding documents are invited to attend
the pre-bid conference. As soon as the sale of documents is closed, pre-bid
conference is to be convened (the date and venue of pre-bid conference
should be clearly indicated in the NIT and the bidding document). In the NIT
and bidding document as well as during the pre-bid conference, bidders
should be advised that ONGC expects the bidders to comply with the
tender specifications/conditions which have been frozen after pre-bid
conference, and hence non-conforming bids will be rejected straightaway.
The indenting officer from the User department (who has framed/signed the
specifications) is to chair pre-bid conference(s) with competent
representative from concerned technical department (like E&C) and TC. It
should be impressed upon the bidders to depute (for attending the pre-bid
conference) representatives of status equivalent to the authority chairing
the conference.
(c)
The issues raised by the prospective bidders during the pre-bid
conference will be examined in detail by the Tender Committee. If due to
the points/doubts raised by the prospective bidders, tender specifications or
any specific term(s), condition(s) which is not a part of “Standard Terms and
Conditions of the Tender” needs to be modified, then the same will be
considered for modification. However, if there are any points/issues, which
have been raised by prospective bidders during the pre-bid conference but
have not been resolved, then a second pre-bid conference will be held
which will be attended by all the Tender Committee Members. In this prebid conference, Tender Committee Members would again try to clarify the
doubts raised by the prospective bidders, with a view to ensure adequate
participation.
(d)
MM department in association with the concerned technical
department will prepare minutes of the pre-bid conference and obtain
approval of the officer who chaired the pre-bid conference. Thereafter, in
case no modifications are required in the BEC/specifications/tender
conditions, the bidder would be asked to submit their bids on due date and
time and sufficient time would be given to the bidders to submit their bids.
However, if, as a sequel to the pre-bid conference, modifications are
required in the BEC and other tender conditions (excluding commercial
conditions standardised by PMC), TC shall submit its recommendations for
prior approval of the competent purchase authority (CPA) by providing
detailed justification for agreeing to such modification(s). In this regard,
Director concerned shall have full powers including in EPC level cases,
provided, such changes are not in conflict with the existing policy/
procedure/ PMC instructions. However, in case of change of specifications
as a sequel to pre-bid conference, necessary approval shall be obtained as
per para 10(v)-b.
(e)
After obtaining such approval, these modifications should be made
and communicated (through fastest mode of communication like fax) prior
to submission of bids with sufficient time to all the bidders to submit their
bids; no change will be allowed thereafter. In other words, pre-bid
conference(s) will be used to freeze various specifications, terms and
conditions of the tender before opening of bids.
(f)
If as a sequel to the pre-bid conference, if an important tender
condition regarding specifications/scope of work/delivery period/mobilization
period/completion period requires major modification, then with a view to
have transparency in the bidding process, sale of tender documents can be
re-opened. In that case, TC should deliberate the case and submit their
recommendations through CPA/concerned L-I executive to the concerned
Director and Director-I/C (MM) for re-opening the sale of tender. The sale
would be re-opened for a period of 15 days and for this purpose,
advertisement would have to given in the press and information would have
to be posted on the ONGC tender web-site also. In such situation, pre-bid
conference would not be held again. The dates of re-opening of sale,
closing of sale, re-scheduled tender closing/opening would be clearly
specified.
10.
PROCEDURE FOR PLACING INDENT ON MATERIALS MANAGEMENT
i) Variation in quantity: Indents
for
annual
requirement will be
formulated carefully after proper scrutiny and based on latest approved
plan. Normally, no variation in quantity should take
place but if the
same becomes unavoidable, it would be limited to + 20%. Indents for
procurement of machinery / equipment / stores / spares will be sent to
concerned Materials Management on prescribed format
(STR-6)
preferably on annual requirement basis. Piecemeal demands will be
avoided.
ii) Equipment / OEM-wise indents for stores & spares: Indents for
procurement of stores and spares will be raised equipment / OEM-wise.
iii) Indication of source of supply in Indent: The
indentors, while
sending indent to concerned Materials Management, will invariably
indicate minimum three number of parties who are likely to quote
for supply of items as per designed specifications. Where likely sources
of supply are anticipated to be lesser than three, the reasons for not
relaxing the specifications or for not splitting the work / reducing the
quantity will be brought to the notice of higher authority(ies), as indicated
below, for approval before sending indent to concerned Materials
management
a)
For cases upto the
value of Rs. 1.00
crore
b)
For cases between
-
Head of concerned
Business Group not
below E-7 level
-
Concerned Regional Director
Rs.1.00 crore and
upto Rs.4.00 crores
c)
(iv)
For cases above Rs.
4.00 crores.
in case of Regions,concerned
GGM/GM in case of Institutes
and Director concerned in
case of Hqrs.
-
Director concerned.
Expenditure Sanction:
The indent must accompany the expenditure sanction. It will be ensured
that total expenditure
sanction as well as unit-wise / group-wise
expenditure sanction is indicated in the indent.
(v)
Specifications :
a) The indent must indicate clear and detailed specifications,
drawings and samples, wherever necessary, so that there is no
ambiguity left
for the tenderers to
quote
for
correct
materials. The specifications should be drawn up in general terms
without quoting reference to any particular firm or taking it as model
specifications as far as possible.
(MM/45/2009 dated 14.10.2009)
b) Specifications (which should be as general and broad based as possible
to generate competition) once given alongwith the indent would be
considered as final and no revision later on / back flow for rechecking
would be entertained.
Any change in specification (before tender is floated) vis-à-vis earlier
contract/tender (in case of re-tendering) will need the approval of the
competent authority as defined at para 78.1-(1)(i), with full justification.
Once pre-bid conference is held in a case, specifications should be
frozen and after that no change in specifications will be permitted.
In case change of specifications becomes absolutely necessary as a
result to pre-bid conference, then same would require approval of the
competent authority as defined at para 78.1-(1)(i), with full justification.
Where no pre-bid conference takes place, no change in specifications is
admissible except as provided herein. If the indentor seeks revision of
specification with prior approval of concerned Director (recording reasons
for modifications of specifications) and conveys the same to MM
department before opening of bids [technical bids in case of two-bid
system], it should be notified to all prospective bidders well in time.
As far as possible in respect of turnkey projects and service contracts,
efforts should be made to frame the specifications on CRINE concept
giving functional specifications. In such tender, the practice of floating
RFP (Request for Proposals and thereafter, holding of pre-bid conference
to firm up the specifications) should also be considered. In such case,
since specifications would be firmed up after interacting with bidders, no
pre-bid conference needs to be held after bid invitation.
In case, specifications have been standardized within ONGC centrally,
approval of such central standardizing authority will be necessary for
making changes in the specifications.
c) The indentors before sending specifications must make up their minds
about the purchase of type of items required and its specifications.
No team should be sent after the tenders have already been invited
to study the equipments. Such study, if necessary, be completed
before placing the indent.
d) The indentors should not ask for proprietary materials or draw up
specifications that would result
in proprietary procurement, except
in cases,
where
proprietary procurement is unavoidable.
Specifications should normally be drawn in such a manner that there is
a wide field of suppliers.
(MM/45/2009 dated 14.10.2009)
e) Whenever specifications have not been standardized, specifications will
be prepared by the concerned User / Indenting department. Such
specifications shall need the approval of the competent authority as
defined at para 78.1-(1)(i).
Wherever specifications have been
standardized and approved at the level of concerned Director / EC, no
further approval will be required.
(vi)
Indent Delivery Date(s) and Urgency:
The indent must
specify the time by which the material is required.
In Indent, the definite delivery date and the place at which the
materials are to be delivered or dispatched, will be indicated. The
use of
such
terms as
'IMMEDIATE',
'AS EARLY AS
POSSIBLE', 'URGENTLY REQUIRED', 'PRIORITY', as substitutes for the
actual delivery dates are to be avoided and the delivery dates always
indicated in red ink in the following manner:a) by_________________________________________(date)
thereby that the whole quantity is required by the date).
(meaning
b) __________(Quantity
by____________(date)
remainder
from___________ (months) to
___________
(months) (meaning
that so much is required by a particular date and the balance is
required by monthly quota).
c) From __________(month) to ______________ (month) (meaning that
equal monthly quotas may be delivered as appropriate).
(vii) Assessment of Requirement:
(viii)
The indentor will be responsible to assess the requirement and to
ensure that there is no over provisioning.
Co-ordination with Materials Management:
Before preparing indent, the indenting section should coordinate
with
the Materials Management concerned. This will help to make
specifications more
realistic and would enable the indentor to ensure
that there is no stock in hand which can be used, after adaptation (if
necessary).
(ix)
Item-wise Estimated Cost In Indent:
The indentor should give the estimated cost item-wise in the indent. If
the cost of the item at the time of placing the contract is more than the
estimated cost, but the price difference is Rs. 100/- or less, no reference will
be made to the indentor. If the price difference is more than Rs. 100/- then
upto
10% of the estimated cost or Rs. 1,000/-, whichever is less, no
reference need to be made to the indentor.
In
all other cases, a
reference to the indentor will be necessary to confirm that there is budget
provision and that full quantity of materials is still required.
(For Cost estimates, in case of OEM/OES cases, para 76.4.2(a) may be referred)
(x)
Minor Variation in Specification:
Where minor variations in specifications are suggested by the Purchase
Section and are acceptable to the indentor and the cost is within the limits
stated above, the indent need not be referred again to the Finance or to
the Project Manager.
(xi)
Indication of Standard Sizes in Indent:
As far as possible, indents should be for standard sizes. The Purchase
Section may refer back to the indentor informing the latter of the standard
sizes available, before purchasing non-standard sizes.
(xii)
Date of Indent:
If the above points are not complied with by the indentor, that indent will not
be treated as a firm indent, till all points are clarified. The date on which all
the points or irregularities in indent are settled that date will be considered
the date of indent. The time of completing of supply will be considered from
that date.
(xiii)
Recoupment of Stock Items:
In the case of Stock items, the maximum & minimum and re-order levels
will be fixed scientifically and according to the instructions issued by
Director (Technical) in consultation with Finance keeping in view past
consumption, rates, lead time and safety margins etc. Once these levels
have been fixed, the Materials Management (Stock) can take recoupment
action without any further reference to Finance. However, the Materials
Management (Stock) will request the associated Finance to earmark
funds before entering into any purchase commitment.
(xiv) The Materials Management (Stock) will intimate its
purchase section through recoupment demands.
(xv)
requirements to
the
Wherever maximum/minimum and re-order levels have not been fixed in
the manner stated above, the indenting section will continue to assess its
requirement and to place its indent on the purchase section after obtaining
financial concurrence.
(xvi) The review of levels in respect of Stock Items will be carried out once a
year. However, if circumstances, such as change in the programme of
operation or change in norms, necessitate it, the review will be carried out
earlier.
(xvii) Ad-Hoc Purchases:
As far as possible, adhoc purchases will be avoided. Items, for which there
is repeated emergency purchase, will be added to the list of Stock Items,
which would be progressively increased and the list of Non-Stock items
correspondingly reduced.
(xviii) Budget Allocation:
Quarterly statement of budget allocation and utilisation would be forwarded
by Associated Finance to the concerned Materials Management / Project
Head in respect of Stock and Non-Stock Items.
(xix)
When a budget is drawn up on a functional basis and gives the break-up of
the provision of materials, itemwise indent upto Rs.5,000/-within the
budgetary provision, need not be referred to Finance again for concurrence.
However, in the absence of budget on functional basis, prior financial
concurrence will be obtained by the indentor before placing indent on the
purchase section, irrespective of the amount involved. The sanction from
the competent authority will accompany all indents.
(xx)
Grouping of Items :
Whenever the purchase involves items to be purchased in groups, the same
grouping should be intimated alongwith indent by the indentor.
(xxi) Separate indent for items independent in nature
It is necessary that sieving of items is properly done at the indent stage
itself so that items independent in nature are indented separately.
(xxii) Materials Code and Consumption Schedule:
It will be ensured that material code and likely consumption schedule of
Stores and Spares is indicated in the purchase indent failing which the
indent will not be accepted. In case of new buys, provision will be made in
tender document and supply order to effect that the supplier will send
catalogue and manual of relevant item(s) to Inventory Control Cell under
intimation to order placing authority within two months from the date of the
receipt of supply order (or as desired by the order placing authority depending
upon the delivery period).
In case of new buys and where permanent codes have not been allotted
Regional Corporate Materials and Logistics Organisation (RCMLO) will be
consulted who will act as Coordinating Agency of the Project / Region and
will interact with Inventory Control Cell to get the permanent code. Where the
material code is not communicated by Inventory Control Cell within 7 days
from the date of reference to them, temporary code will be allotted by the
RCMLO. Indent can be raised by the Indentor with such allotted temporary
code with the prior approval of concerned Regional Director. Permanent
code number obtained by RCMLO will thereafter be notified to concerned
Indentor and Purchase Section.
(xxiii) Indent For Stores & Spares Through RCMLO:
All Indents for procurement of stores and spares will be routed through
RCMLO at Regions / Projects and through CMLO in the Hqrs. who will
scrutinize the same with reference to stock in hand, material in pipe line
and likely consumption schedule. This exercise should not take more than
five days.

REGISTRATION / EMPANELMENT OF FIRMS
12.1 REGISTRATION OF FIRMS FOR
ON LIMITED TENDER BASIS
INDIGENOUS
PURCHASES
12.1.1 For the purpose of sending enquiries for indigenous purchases against
limited tenders to be invited in the normal limit of the value of limited tender,
registration of firms will be done by Head of Materials Management(TBG) at
Regions / Projects / Hqrs keeping in view the requirement of the work
centre. Firms willing to register at more than one work centre, will require
to get themselves registered with all such work centres. The firm(s) will be
registered for each group of items separately for which they will need to send
separate application alongwith application fee as indicated in para 12.1.3.
The firm(s) will be registered for a period of three years. In Registration
Certificate also it will be made clear that the facility for exemption from
payment of earnest money / furnishing of bid bond will be available in normal
limited tenders only.
12.1.2 The following norms
tender-wise basis:-
will be adopted for registration of firm(s) on
i) Income Tax Clearance Certificate.
ii) Sales Tax Registration number both State and Central.
iii) 50% of annual turn over of the item(s) / group of item(s) for
which the party requires registration, duly certified by a
Chartered Accountant.
12.1.3 Subject to provision in para 12.1.7, a non-refundable application fee of
Rs.50.00 will be charged from each party for registration for each group of
item(s). In addition, a non-refundable registration fee of Rs.50/- for each
group of item(s) will also be charged before issuing Registration Certificate if
the party concerned meets norms specified in para 12.1.2 above.
12.1.4 While confirming registration number of the firm, it will clearly be advised
that they should apply for renewal of registration at least 3 months prior to
expiration of the validity of registration. Renewal of registration will be done
on the basis of past satisfactory performance.
12.1.5 A non-refundable fee of Rs.50/- will also be charged for renewal of
registration of the firm after every three years.
12.1.6 In case a firm already registered with a work centre, wants to get itself
registered with other work centre(s) for same item(s) then a fresh
verification of Income Tax Clearance, Sales Tax Registration and annual
turnover will not be necessary and the party will be registered for the
same monetary limit and period upto which its registration with initial work
centre is valid.
12.1.7 Firms registered with DGS&D / NSIC will be treated as registered firms of
ONGC for the item(s) they are registered with DGS&D / NSIC for sending
limited tender enquiries provided a formal request alongwith nonrefundable registration fee of Rs.50.00 for each group of item(s) and proof of
such registration from such firms has been received.
12.1.8 No application fee will be charged from such firms.
12.1.9 It will be ensured that enquiries are sent to all firms registered for the item(s)
required to be purchased. In case the number of registered firms is large,
enquiries may be sent by rotation to ensure healthy competition and allowing
all firms an opportunity to compete.
12.1.10 Any case for de-registration of firms shall require approval of an officer
at E-7 level (General Manager).
(MM/33/2008 dated 29.04.2008)
Entire provisions under para 12.2 (i.e. 12.2.1 to 12.2.7) deleted.
PURCHASE METHODS
PURCHASE METHODS
(MM/56/2010 dated 11.10.2010)
13.
Purchase will be made through any of the following methods:-
i) Purchase through Directorate General of Supplies and
ii)
Open tenders
iii) Limited tenders
iv) Single tender
v) Petty purchases / Hand quotations.
vi)
Annual Rate Contracts
vii) Board of Officers
Disposals (DGS&D)
14.
PURCHASE THROUGH DGS&D
14.1
There are three ways of purchase of materials through the DGS&D:i) By placing indent on DGS&D who on his side invites the tenders from
the dealers on his approved list.
ii) Through DGS&D Rate / Running Contract: In this case also the
indents are to be placed on DGS&D who places order on the firms
with whom they have concluded the rate / running contracts, such as
petroleum products.
iii) Through Rate Contract concluded by the DGS&D: In this case no
indent is to be placed on DGS&D but the officer of the Organisation
who is appointed by the DGS&D as "Direct Demanding Officer", can
place order direct with the firm on Rate Contracts concluded by the
DGS&D.
14.2
Full advantage of the DGS&D Rate / Running Contract should be taken as
far as possible when such contract exists and the delivery period suits our
requirement. No separate tenders need be invited when the delivery period
stipulated in the DGS&D Rate / Running Contracts is acceptable. However,
where the delivery period of any such contract is not suitable, the Purchase
Officer may place a direct supply order on the DGS&D Rate contractors on
DGS&D rates or lower rates and where it is not possible to obtain supply
of an item either by operating on the DGS&D Rate Contract or by placing a
direct supply order on the DGS&D Rate Contract Holders because the
delivery period does not suit our requirement, the Purchase Officer may
resort to the other methods of purchase outlined in para 13 above even
though the items are available against DGS&D Rate/Running Contracts.
14.3
All other items not covered by the Rate / Running Contracts will be
arranged by the Materials Management by inviting tenders.
15.
OPEN TENDERS
(MM/33/2008 dated 29.04.2008)
15.1 Except for situations covered under provisions at para 15.3, when the value of
the tender is more than Rs. 25.00 lakhs, open tenders will be invited. Open
tenders will be advertised through the press.
Tender inviting Section shall forward the copy of NIT to Corporate
Communications department for publishing NITs in the newspapers in concise
format. The number and type of newspapers in which NIT is to be published
shall be decided by the Corporate Communication Deptt. Further, the detailed

The tendering process at the Assets / Basins / Institutes / Hqrs should
commence with the availability of budget, followed by detailed indent raised
by the indenting department giving specifications and technical BEC along
with cost estimates and the financial sanctions. The Competent Purchase
Authority will decide the required type of tender to be issued viz (i) Public

be necessary due to fresh guidelines issued by PMC).
Such cases falling under the power of EPC will be brought to it for approval
after endorsement of the concerned Director. who will consider the factors
(i), (ii) & (iii) given above, after due examination and recommendation by the
Asset Manager / Basin Manager / Chief of Services / Head of Institutes /
Regions Similarly, if there is no change in the mode of tendering earlier
approved by EPC, such cases may be approved by Director concerned

standard provisions) is considered necessary (as a sequel to pre-bid
conference), detailed reasons in tabular form are to be given (in the proposal
for approval of competent purchase authority) indicating as to why such
departure is considered necessary. It will specifically be indicated as to
whether ONGC would entail any extra expenditure on account of the
proposed changes in BEC and if so, analysis will also need to be given
indicating the economic benefit in terms of improved efficiency or
otherwise that would accrue to ONGC versus the extra expenditure
involved due to modification in BEC. After this no change in BEC will be
allowed. Where no pre-bid conference has been convened, BEC in such
cases will not be modified under any circumstances.
Powers to approve modification / relaxation / departure from approved BEC,
as a sequel to pre-bid conference (and not after opening of bids), will rest with
Competent Purchase Authority. In this regard, Director concerned shall have
full powers including in EPC level cases, provided, such changes are not in
conflict with the existing policy/ procedure/ PMC instructions.

TECHNICAL CLARIFICATIONS / COMMENTS
60.
CLARIFICATION FROM BIDDERS AFTER TENDER OPENING
(MM/40/2009 dated 30.06.2009)
60.1.1 As a principle, clarifications from bidders after opening of tenders are to be
avoided in single bid system and after price bid opening in two bid system.
60.1.2 At the techno-commercial bid evaluation stage (under two bid system) also,
post tender clarifications should be avoided, as far as possible. In case
implied clarifications / confirmations exist in the bid on the issues involved,
work center may consider processing of the bid further on the basis of such
implied confirmations.
However, in case after opening of un-priced techno-commercial bids, if it is
observed that clarifications from the bidders on important techno-commercial
aspects are necessary for enhancing competition in the tender, one
opportunity
shall
be
given
to
them
for
submission
of
clarifications/confirmations/deficient documents. Wherever TC is required, it
will deliberate specifically on the issues requiring clarifications and submit
their recommendations to the CPA for approval for asking the bidders to
submit clarifications/ confirmations/deficient documents. Concerned Key
Executive (Level I-A/B/C/D/E/F) will have full powers to approve seeking of
clarifications/confirmations/deficient documents from the bidders even for
cases falling within the powers of Directors and EPC.
(MM/58/2011 dated 21.03.2011)

deviations taken by them to ONGC‟s standard terms and conditions by the
dealing officer in MM after obtaining the approval of I/c MM directly without
holding TC.
(MM/40/2009 dated 30.06.2009)
60.1.3 With a view to widen competition in the tender, decision would need to be
taken on case to case basis as to whether one more round of clarifications
need to be sought from the bidders. In that case, TC will deliberate specifically
on the issues requiring second round of clarifications/ confirmations/ deficient
documents and submit their recommendations to CPA for approval for asking
the bidders to submit clarifications/ confirmations/deficient documents after
recording proper justification for the same. However, concerned Key
Executive (Level I-A/B/C/D/E/F) shall have full powers to approve seeking of
upto two rounds of clarifications / confirmations / deficient documents,
including in cases falling within the powers of Directors and EPC.
60.1.4 Clarifications should be sought from bidders, by specifying a reasonable cutoff time for submission of clarifications/ confirmations/ deficient documents.
Sufficient time should be given to the bidders to submit their responses
depending upon the nature of clarifications/confirmations/deficient documents
which are required to be submitted. However, in the event of an unscheduled
holiday falling in the specified day of the „cut off time„, the next working day
shall be treated as the „cut off time‟. In all other situations, if an extension for
the „cut off time‟ is felt necessary based on requests receive from the
bidder(s), approval should be obtained from CPA. For cases falling under the
powers of Director/EPC, approval of concerned Director shall be obtained.
Such approval for the same should be obtained before the expiry of the
specified „cut off time‟ and the decision should be communicated to all the
bidders from whom the clarifications/conformations/deficient documents have
been sought.
60.1.5 Clarifications/confirmations/deficient documents which are received after the
specified cut-off date should be considered only in exceptional situations
depending upon merit of the case, where at least two clear TA/CA offers are
not available, with the approval of the authority next higher to the CPA, after
recording detailed justification for considering such offers. For cases falling
under the powers of Director/EPC, approval of concerned Director shall be
obtained.
60.1.6 Any technical clarifications/confirmations/deficient documents required by the
User/Indenting Department should be routed through concerned Materials
Management.

CORRESPONDENCE WITH SUPPLIERS BY INDENTORS
61.1
Before finalisation of the tender, all correspondence with the bidders must be
done by concerned Materials Management. However, after placing supply
order / contract, if considered necessary, the indentor(s) may interact with
supplier(s) / contractor(s) for any clarification provided the same does not
result into modification of any condition of supply order / contract and does
not involve financial implications. However, copy of such correspondence
must be marked to MM Department for record.
61.2

bidding document, they will clearly specify and indicate the difference and
acceptability.
62.3
The Indentor's representative of Tender Committee shall scrutinize the
quotations (already forwarded to the technical section), in advance from the
technical angle before attending the Tender Committee meeting.
62.4 Level for technical comments on offers

EXECUTIVE PROCUREMENT COMMITTEE
69.
Proposals to Executive Procurement Committee (EPC)
69.1. (MM/8/2003 dated 02.04.03)
(i)
Issue relating to any major modification or clarification in the Materials
Management policy of ONGC may be referred to the Executive Procurement
Committee (EPC) [consisting of full time Directors as members and C&MD as
Chairman of the Committee] for its advice / decision. However, before
reference to EPC is made, endorsement of Director In-charge (MM) will be
obtained.
(ii)
In EPC level cases, approval of EPC will be required on the BEC to be
followed for tender except in cases wherein earlier EPC approved BEC is
proposed to be adopted for which purpose the approval of concerned Director
will be obtained. (Provisions of para 24 of this Manual refers in this regard]
(iii)
In all cases exceeding powers of Director, after price evaluation of short-listed
bidders, purchase approval of Executive Procurement Committee (EPC) will
be obtained, after endorsement by Director – in charge.
The EPC will meet regularly depending upon number of cases to be
considered. For EPC meetings, while all functional Directors are envisaged to
participate, due to exigencies of work if some Director(s) is / are not present,
minimum quorum consisting of C&MD, concerned Director, Director In-charge
(MM) and Director (Finance) may consider and approve the proposal(s). For
EPC meeting, self explanatory brief, duly signed by the Tender Committee
members (Chief of Materials, in case of Policy issues) along with relevant
documents will be sent to EPC Cell for examination through concerned Asset
Manager / Basin Manager / Chief of Services / Head of Institutes / Regions
for cases at Assets / Basins, etc [Director In-charge (MM) for policy matters].
The concerned Asset Managers / Basin Managers / Chiefs of Services /
Head of Institutes / Regions for cases at Assets / Basins / Services / Institutes
should obtain the concurrence of the respective Head of Finance (if the Head
is already not a member of the tender committee) and endorsement of the
concerned Director before sending the agenda brief to EPC. The brief should
be sent well in advance before the expiry of validities keeping in view that
sufficient time is available to the EPC Cell for examination of case. EPC Cell
will examine the proposal(s) and seek clarification(s) from the concerned work
centre(s) wherever considered necessary. A copy of brief will be circulated by
EPC Cell to all members of EPC as well as to C& MD, ONGC for perusal.
The EPC Cell will take action as indicated in para 70 below.
69.2
It will be ensured by concerned work centre that all procedural aspects have
been taken care of before submitting cases to Executive Procurement
Committee.
(MM/8/2003 dated 02.04.03)
70.
Minutes of discussion of Executive Procurement Committee
(MM/73/2014 dated 14.03.2014)
70.1
The Executive Procurement Committee Cell will circulate amongst EPC
members a copy of agenda brief and after discussions of the case in the
meeting, will prepare draft record note of the Executive Procurement
Committee meeting (within 3 working days if summary is not to be prepared
and 5 working days if summary is to be prepared) and circulate the same with
the approval of Director concerned to all the EPC members for their
comments. Comments if any, are to be given by EPC Members on the draft
Record Note to the EPC Cell within two working days. The draft Record Note
will be modified by EPC cell based on the comments received from EPC
members and thereafter, the final draft will be submitted to C&MD for approval
through the concerned Director and Director (Finance). Upon approval of the
Record Note by C&MD, EPC cell will forward the approved Record Note to all
the EPC members and also to the concerned work centre for taking further
action. However, the present practice of issue of the summary of EPC
decision with the approval of concerned Director, will remain unaltered, but
summary would be issued in respect of urgent cases only based on the
discussions in EPC meeting.
In case of urgency, EPC meeting can be held in the absence of C&MD who
would authorize the senior most Director (other than the Director concerned
whose proposal is under consideration) to Chair the meeting in his absence.
The Draft Record notes will be put up to the Director who chaired the EPC
meeting for his consideration and approval. However, the Record Note of
discussion of such EPC meeting(s) will be put up to C&MD for information.
Similarly, in case Director concerned is unable to attend the EPC meeting, he
may request another functional Director to represent him in the EPC meeting
for the case.

CONSIDERATION OF OFFERS
71.
Consideration of offers
71.1
The following points should be taken into consideration for placement of
an order:i.
Normally the orders are to be placed on the lowest Bidder.
ii.
If the lowest Bidder does not comply
bids should be rejected.
with
the tender stipulation, his
71.2
Bids which do not conform to the specifications are to be ignored
straightaway. Lowest bid may be determined from among those tenders
which are in full conformity with the specifications.
72.
Purchase of Machinery and Equipment
When deciding
orders
for
the procurement of
"Machinery and
Equipment" it has to be ensured that orders are placed only on the
manufacturers or their authorised dealers licensed by the Government for
production under the Industries Development and Regulation Act, 1951.
73.
Purchase of Capital items and spares therefor
(MM/57/2011 dated 01.03.2011)
73.1 Normally, for purpose of comparison of the prices quoted for the main plant
and equipment, the prices of spares will not be taken into account.
73.2
However, for regularly procured equipment where requirement of fast moving
/ critical spares is considered necessary for one or two years operation of the
plant and equipment and the same can be estimated based on the past
experience, the list of such critical spares with quantity should be included in
the tenders and the cost of only those spares should be considered for
evaluation purpose alongwith the main plant and equipment. In such cases it
should be made clear to the bidders that they should quote the prices for
each item of the spares separately.
LATE TENDERS
74.
LATE TENDERS
74.1
All bids received after the notified time and date of closing of tenders will
be treated as late tenders.
74.2
Unsolicited alterations or modifications of tenders received after the notified
time and date of closing of the tenders shall not be entertained.
(MM/65/2012 dated 02.02.2012)
74.3 Late tenders, as defined in para 74.1 above, shall not be considered. Such late
tenders, after recording with the concerned Materials Management officer, will
be returned un-opened to the concerned bidder(s) within a period of seven days
from the due date of opening of tenders.
However, in case of purchase from OEM or their authorized
Dealers/Distributors/ Stockists on single tender basis under exceptional
circumstances, such late offers may be considered by extension of tender
opening dates with the approval of CPA. For EPC level cases as well as cases
falling within the power of concerned Director, concerned L-1 officer shall have
full power to approve extension of tender submission date for consideration of
such late offers.
SPLITTING OF TENDRS / SUPPLY ORDERS
75.
SPLITTING OF TENDERS / SUPPLY ORDERS
75.1
While tenders are generally considered on an itemwise basis and the
practice is to split these items where necessary and award the contract to the
lowest acceptable bidder on an itemised basis, it is not necessary to split up
where the monetary gain in splitting the of contract is less than Rs.150/-.
The Materials Management Officer acting within his power, will have the
authority to award contract on an overall basis for all items or by grouping
items, provided that the total price paid as a result of doing so does not
exceed by more than Rs.150/- the total price that would have been paid had
the contract been awarded on an itemised basis.
75.2
Items in a tender may be split up in more than one order depending on the
merit of each case. In case of operational needs, tender for part of items
may be finalised with the approval of Competent Purchase Authority for
complete tender. For finalisation of tender for the remaining items, the case
will be submitted to the Competent Purchase Authority for complete tender
reflecting therein the facts that tender for part items in this case has already
been finalised.
75.3
Sometimes it becomes essential to place order simultaneously on two firms to
safeguard against the chance of one of the firms failing to execute supplies or
when material is urgently required and where a single firm cannot supply
the required quantity in time. Where the tenders are being called and the
volume of the purchase is likely to be very large and where it is important
because of this to ensure that no single bidders bites off more than he can
chew merely on the ground that he is the lowest bidders a procedure should
be followed whereby when the tender is floated, bidders are specifically
asked to quote(a) for the whole purchase (b) for a fraction of unit of the
purchase and it is specified in the tender notice that the purchaser will use
his discretion as to the number of units within the whole purchase which
will be given to any one bidder.
75.4
Where there is absolutely no doubt as to the capacity of the lowest
negotiable bidder to supply goods conforming to the specifications within
the delivery time, the order should be placed first upto the full quantity
offered by him, so as to utilise the full capacity. In case there are reasons,
which reasons should be recorded in writing, to believe that the lowest
negotiable bidder cannot supply the full quantity in time, the Materials
Management Officer may distribute the order in such a way so as to
make the purchase as broad based as possible and to ensure timely
supply.
REASONABILITY OF RATES
76.
INSUFFICIENT COMPETITION AND REASONABILITY OF RATES
(MM/46/2009 dated 04.11.2009)
76.1 In Limited Tenders which are not published on website (i.e. LTs upto Rs. 5
lakhs), minimum three techno-commercially acceptable quotations must be
available before the tender is finalized. However, if less than three quotations
are received in a case of such limited tender, then the case should be put up to
the authority one level higher than the CPA for further decision.
76.2
Placement of order when one offer is received
If after inviting open / limited tenders (including the tenders mentioned in para
76.1 above), only one quotation is received against the tender, the order
should be placed on the bidder provided the rates are considered reasonable or if the
requirement is urgent.
76.3
Certification of urgency
The urgency of the requirement would be certified by the indentor.
76.4
Reasonability of rates
(MM/60/2011 dated 03.06.2011)
76.4.1 Tender Committee shall be required to establish and certify the reasonability
of rates of L-1 bidder received in a tender. Rate reasonability can be
established in comparison to cost estimates and / or last purchase rate (if
available) and / or price trends prevailing in the market (if the same can be
determined depending on either the type of items being purchased or if there is
any published documents / data reflecting the price trends or if there is
relationship between raw material being used in manufacture of items like steel
is used for manufacture of tubular goods). (When purchase does not fall under
purview of tender committee, dealing officer of MM in consultation with
Indentor and Finance shall ascertain the rate reasonability and put up the
proposals for approval of CPA). Accordingly, the case shall be processed for
finalisation, if the rates of L-1 bidder are considered to be reasonable on the
basis of above analysis. Wherever the rates of L-I bidder are substantially high
as compared to cost estimates / or LPR or not in line with the price trend
prevailing in the market, a decision shall be taken as to whether price
negotiation need to be conducted.
(MM/58/2011 dated 21.03.2011)
76.4.2(a) In OEM/OES cases, budgetary offers need not be considered as basis for
working out cost estimates. Instead, Last Purchase Rate (LPR) of the same
item or similar item with suitable escalation, to take care of increase in cost
from the date of last purchase, may be considered as basis for working out
reasonable cost estimates. Option of taking budgetary quote from the original
equipment manufacturer/supplier may be resorted to only in situations where
LPR is not available and no other reasonable basis is available for working out
cost estimate.
76.4.2(b)In OEM/OES cases, any correspondence regarding price should be done
only after the TC recommendations are approved by CPA as per para 77.
(MM/46/2009 dated 04.11.2009)
76.4.3 For price negotiations procedure specified vide para 77 will be adhered to.
NEGOTIATIONS
77.
NEGOTIATIONS
(MM/28/2007 dated 11.06.2007)
77.1 There should not be any Price negotiations. Negotiations, if at all, shall be an
exception as provided herein below and shall be held with L-1 bidder only.
77.2 Negotiations shall be recommended in exceptional circumstances only after due
application of mind and recording valid, logical reasons justifying negotiations. Price
negotiations shall be undertaken by tender committee, only with L-1 bidder, on prior
approval by CPA not below Level-I and the concerned Director in EPC cases, in any
of the following exceptional situations, where the rates of L-1 bidder are substantially
high as compared to cost estimates:
(i)
The items are proprietary in nature;
(ii)
The bidders have formed cartel ;
(iii)
Sources are limited.
77.3 Negotiations should not be misused as a tool for bargaining with L-1 with
dubious intentions or lead to delays in decision-making. Convincing reasons must be
recorded by the Tender Committee recommending negotiations. Competent
Purchase Authority should exercise due diligence while accepting a tender or
ordering negotiations or calling for a re-tender and the time taken for according
requisite approvals for the entire process of negotiation and award of order should
not exceed 30 days from the date of submission of recommendations. In cases
where the proposal is to be approved at EPC level, a maximum of additional 15 days
shall be allowed. In no case should the overall timeframe exceed the validity period
of the tender and it should be ensured that tenders are invariably finalised within
their validity period.
77.4 In cases where a decision is taken to go for re-tendering due to the
unreasonableness of the quoted rates, but the requirements are urgent and a retender for the entire requirement would delay the availability of the item, thus
jeopardizing the essential operations, maintenance and safety, negotiations would
be permitted with L-1 bidder(s) for the supply of a bare minimum quantity, subject to
acceptance by the bidder. The balance quantity should, however, be procured
expeditiously through a re-tender, following the normal tendering process, after due
examination to see whether review of specification, scope of work and tender
conditions is required in future, to bring more competition.
77.5 Where it is required to have more than one source of supply (due to critical or
vital nature of the item), it is mandatory to pre-disclose the ratio of splitting the supply
(in accordance with prevailing instructions, so as to award maximum quantity to the
L-1 bidder) in the Bid Evaluation Criteria, after due deliberation in Tender Committee.
This must be followed scrupulously.
77.6 After due processing, if it is discovered that the quantity to be ordered is far
more than what L-1 alone is capable of supplying (in tenders where bidders are
allowed to quote part quantities) and there was no prior decision to split the
quantities, then the quantity being finally ordered should be distributed among the
other bidders in a manner that is fair, transparent and equitable as given below:
(i)
If the requirement of tender quantity cannot be met by L-1 bidder, negotiations
will be carried out with the approval of Competent Purchase Authority (CPA). To
expedite the process of negotiations, all other acceptable bidders will be advised to
submit their confirmations in sealed envelopes, to match their rates with those of
evaluated L-1 bidder.
(ii) Sealed covers will be opened in the order of ranking originally established and
in the presence of bidders‟ representatives who choose to be present. Bidders who
match their prices with the L-1 bidder would be considered for award on basis of
their original ranking and to the extent of quantity / number offered by them.
Opening of sealed cover will be stopped when the total quantity requirement is met.
77.7 Counter-offers to L-1, in order to arrive at an acceptable price, shall tantamount
to negotiations. However, any counter-offer thereafter to L-2, L-3, etc., (at the rates
accepted by L-1) in case of splitting of quantities (as pre-disclosed in the tender as
per para 77.5 above or due to limted capacity of L-1 bidder as per para 77.6 above)
shall not be deemed to be a negotiation.
77.8 If L-1 bidder backs out, there should be re-tendering in a transparent and fair
manner. The Competent Purchase Authority may in such a situation call for Limited
or Short Notice tender, if so justified in the interest of work, on the basis of
examination and recommendation by Tender Committee.
77.9 For the cases valuing upto Rs 5 lacs also, convening of tender committee is
necessary for recommending and conducting negotiations. The Tender Committee
in such cases shall consist of one officer each from MM, Finance and Indentor at one
level below Competent Purchase Authority. The recommendations of said Tender
Committee shall require the approval of Competent Purchase Authority.

EXTENSION IN DELIVERY PERIOD AND LEVY /
WAIVER OF LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
(MM/25/2006 dated 15.09.2006)
94.
EXTENSION OF DELIVERY / MOBILIZATION / COMPLETION DATE
94.1
While granting extension in delivery date in terms of para 94.3, the
following points should be taken into consideration:
94.2
i.
Has indentor specifically stated that no extension of time should be
allowed or that he should be consulted before such an extension is
allowed?
ii.
If the contract has been entered into at higher prices because of the
assurance of earlier delivery, but the supplier has failed to deliver the
goods within the agreed schedule, in such cases the amount paid by
way of such price preference should be recovered from the supplier.
iii.
Whether supply can be arranged easily at cheaper rates from an
alternative source and in this case whether the indentor can
reasonably wait to take advantage of this or of any downward trend in
prices generally.
iv.
(Provision deleted and succeeding paras re-numbered.)
iv.
All extensions are to be granted subject to the right of ONGC to claim a
reduction in prices on account of reduction in statutory duties/taxes etc.
which may take place during the extended period of delivery.
However, increase in prices during extended delivery period on
account of increase in statutory duties/taxes etc. admissible under
change in law clause shall be granted, only if extension is due to delay
on the part of ONGC.
v.
Provision deleted.
When it is decided to extend the delivery period subject to the recovery of
liquidated damages for delay in supplies, contractor must be warned in
writing. Merely stating that extension is granted without prejudice to the rights
of purchaser under the terms and conditions of contract, is not enough.
(MM/25/2006 dated 15.09.2006)
94.3 Extension of Delivery / Mobilization / Completion date:
Following procedure shall be followed for grant of extension of Delivery / Mobilization
/ Completion date:
(i) In cases where the delivery/work is not likely to be completed within the
contracted schedule and cancellation/termination of contract is not contemplated,
the time of delivery/completion should be suitably extended as per instructions given
hereunder, before the expiry date of mobilization/delivery/completion, in order that
the contract shall continue to be in force and the contractor remains liable to
execute the contract.
(ii)
Any extension due to entire delay being solely on account of contractor /
supplier will be decided by CPA, on recommendation by the indentor and MM. This
extension will be with levy of LD as per the terms of contract, provided the indentor
confirms continued existence of the requirement. No tender committee is required in
this case. No financial concurrence is required. Normally, such extension will be
communicated to the contractor in the format given at Annexure-A-1. For cases
falling under the powers of EPC such extension can be granted with the approval of
concerned Director.
(iii) Any extension, where delay either in part or full may be on account of ONGC,
will be granted by the Competent Purchase Authority, on recommendation by the
Indentor and MM, with ONGC reserving right to levy LD, provided the indentor
confirms continued existence of the requirement. No tender committee is required
for such decision. No financial concurrence is required. Normally, such extension
will be communicated to the contractor in the format given at Annexure-A-2. For
cases falling under the powers of EPC, such extension can be granted with prior
approval of concerned Director.
The amount of LD shall be withheld on the proportionate basis, by finance, from the
bills of supplier/contractor, while releasing payments.
On completion of delivery/work, a joint statement duly signed by both ONGC and
Contractor will be prepared (User at one level below CPA shall be competent to sign
such statement. However, the concerned Level-II Officer of indenting department
shall have full powers and shall be competent to sign such statement for all cases
where CPA is L1 and above), clearly indicating the extent of delay, the reasons
therefore and the party accountable for the delay. Proposal for time extensions
shall then be considered by the Competent Purchase Authority for approval on
recommendation by the Tender Committee regarding quantum of LD for the delay
attributable to the contractor. For cases falling under the powers of EPC, time
extensions can be granted with the approval of concerned Director, if (i) the LD rate
is as per provisions of Supply Order/Contract and (ii) delay attributed to the
contractor is not condoned either in part or full.
(iv) Notwithstanding anything stated in the foregoing paras, as a rule, no extension
should be given for a period of more than one year beyond the originally scheduled
date of delivery/mobilization/completion date. In case the extension of more than
one year is unavoidable, the approval of concerned Director must be obtained.
(v) Normally the cases involving extension due to delay on account of
contractor/supplier shall be considered with levy of LD at the rate as per contract
terms and without condoning any delay attributed to the contractor. However, in
compelling circumstances beyond the control of supplier/vendor or where the past
record of vendor/supplier is excellent in terms of meeting their commitments, a
holistic view may be taken for considering waiver of Liquidated Damages. Any
proposal, with full justifications, for waiver of LD rate in such cases, and/or
condonation of delays attributed to contractor shall require the approval of
Competent Purchase Authority (EPC, for EPC level cases), on the
recommendations of Tender Committee.
94.4
(Provision deleted vide MM amendment No. MM/25/2006 dated 15.09.2006)
(MM Amendment No. MM/20/2005 dated 10.05.2005)
94.4.1 In LSTK projects where delay is solely attributable to ONGC, the reasons for
delay should be jointly recorded in writing by the designated Project Coordinator
from ONGC and authorized representative of Contractor. Under such circumstances,
Competent Purchase Authority (CPA) may grant extension of completion period to
the extent of such delay is attributable to ONGC, without imposing liquidated
damages. In cases where EPC is CPA, Director concerned may approve such
proposal.
(MM/25/2006 dated 15.09.2006)
95.
EXTENSION IN DELIVERY PERIOD AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IN
CASE OF DEVELOPMENT ORDERS
95.1 The Competent Purchase Authority will have powers to grant extension in
delivery period upto one year of the expiry of initial delivery period.
95.2
Depending upon merits of the case, any extension in delivery period beyond
one year of the expiry of initial delivery period will be granted with approval of
Competent Purchase Authority not below the concerned Director.
95.3
Instructions laid down below will be followed:
i. The Liquidated Damages clause will be incorporated in all Development
Orders.
ii. Any extension in delivery date without imposing liquidated damages,

value ordered is supplied within the stipulated delivery period. Where
75% of the value ordered has been supplied within stipulated delivery
period, LD will be imposed on the cost of contract price of delayed supplies.
However, where, in the judgement of ONGC, the supply of partial quantity
does not fulfill the operating need, LD will be imposed on full value of the
supply order.
96.1.2 Construction / Turnkey Project
In case where company (ONGC) takes over certain facilities for the
envisaged objectives, which can be commissioned and can function
independently irrespective of the availability of balance work of the project,
ONGC may issue part completion certificate by taking over such facilities
without imposing LD. Where such facilities can not be commissioned and
can not function independently, LD in that event will be levied on full value
of the project.

99.5
A Chemist shall be deputed abroad for sampling, bonding, testing, de-bonding
and dispatch of chemicals at supplier‟s end only if the lot value in a PO
exceeds US$ 1 million; the chemist will be accountable for proper quality
check as well as bonding.
For despatch of material by the supplier in the presence of team of officers
deputed abroad for inspection, testing and bonding, each case will be
decided on
merit after taking into consideration the position of
availability of ships etc.
In order to ensure despatch of material by the supplier in the presence of
ONGC‟s representative deputed abroad for sampling, bonding, testing, debonding and dispatch of chemicals, suitable provisions will be made in
supply order reserving ONGC's right to ask the supplier to despatch material
in the presence of the representative of ONGC deputed abroad for sampling,
bonding, testing, de-bonding and dispatch of chemicals and the supplier
should ensure availability of containers before sending inspection call to
ONGC, enabling sealing of containers for dispatch in the presence of ONGC‟s
representative(s).
For the supplies where the lot value in a PO less than US$ 1 million, supplier
shall be asked to provide satisfactory manufacturer test certificate. However,
the supplies will be tested and inspected on receipt before taking the
material on charge. This process will not take a period of more than 30 days.
No Chemist for sampling and bonding in these cases will be detailed.
However, the supplier will be asked to give a certificate to the effect that the
product in question has been tested by the ONGC approved laboratory. Each
packing will bear mark of the manufacturer as well
as name
of the
Chemical, Lot No. / Batch No., Date of manufacture and supply order number.
99.6
Sampling, bonding and debonding of bulk materials
99.6.1 Before despatch of material, sampling / bonding of each lot of the product
including Barytes, CMC, PPD and OWC etc. will be done at firm's premises
by a Chemist; the chemist will be accountable for proper quality check as well
as bonding. The Chemist will ensure that supply of chemicals is in
manufacturer's original packing as specified in the supply order. Each bag /
drum of the product should bear mark of the manufacturer, name of the
chemical, Lot No, Batch No., date of manufacture and Supply order No.
Testing of the samples will be carried out in the ONGC laboratories / ONGC
approved laboratories as per para 99.3 / 99.4. The Barytes sampling and
bonding will be of 500 MT lot at a time.
99.6.2 Total four bulk samples will be drawn during sampling / bonding. The bulk
samples taken at supplier's premises will have the seal of both, the party and
ONGC.
(MM Amendment no. MM/22/2006 dated 28.04.2006)
99.6.3 Two samples will be sent to lab. for test, one sample will be given to supplier
and the fourth one is to be retained with Chemistry Deptt. Chemistry Deptt.
Shall forward the sample directly to the lab. and only send the intimation to
the Purchase Deptt. regarding forwarding of samples to the lab. for testing.
In all cases where sample has passed the test and there is no dispute, the
sample will be destroyed after one month from the date of receipt of
corresponding bulk consignment at the Project. In case of any dispute, these
samples shall be retained till resolution of said dispute. Destruction / nondestruction of such samples shall not override the supplier‟s obligations under
warranty / shelf life or any other supply order conditions.
99.7
Rejection of Bulk Sample
In the event of bulk sample getting rejected, the supplier will be asked to
reprocess it and offer again. However if the product fails even second time,
the supplier will have the option to get it tested on payment basis in his
presence from the same laboratory where it was tested earlier on following
conditions:-
a)
ONGC will refund the testing fee if the earlier results or found faulty.
b)
The supplier on his part will be debarred from participating in ONGC tenders
for a period of one year if earlier results are confirmed.
99.8. Debonding and despatch of mud chemicals
99.8.1 Barytes mines are mainly located in well defined area of Andhra Pradesh.
As a result, pulverising units of the suppliers are located in this area. To avoid
problems
due to non-availability of wagons, it is desirable that a
warehousing capacity of around 10,000 tonnes is created by ONGC at a
logistically optimal point in between Kadappa / Kudur where loading
facilities are available and in due course a Railway spur is developed next
to the sheds for direct loading.
(MM)/12/2003 dated 09.06.03)
99.8.2 Debonding of materials at supplier's premises will be done by a Chemist; the
chemist will be accountable for proper debonding. Despatch of mud
chemicals to consuming points will be handled by ONGC personnel or
through some contractor and priority accorded so as ensure regular
uninterrupted supplies.
99.9
Random Sampling
99.9.1 No random sampling will be done at the destination. However in case
random sampling becomes necessary due to complaint from the user about
substandard supply then sampling will be done on the basis of specific
approval of the Project Head / Regional Director concerned. Retesting in
such cases will be got done from the same laboratory where sample of
bulk supply was tested earlier. For this, suitable provision for right of
rejection at destination and replacement of rejected materials free of cost
will be made in supply order.
99.9.2
It will
be a condition of the contract that supplies not found as per
requirement at destination will be replaced free of cost by the supplier.
99.10 Purchase from manufacturers / Public Undertakings
99.10.1 As far as possible purchase of barytes etc. should be made directly from the
mine-owners / Pulverisers / Manufacturers or through their authorised
dealers only and a stipulation to this effect should be made in the NIT.
99.10.2 Barytes is now being produced by Public Undertakings. Efforts should be
made to procure such items from them as also from private enterprises of
repute as per directives issued from time to time with a view to ensure
supply of quality products if their rates are competitive.
99.11 Earnest Money / Security Deposit
Guidelines stipulated in para 57 will be followed.
99.12. Substandard products
99.12.1 Information should be exchanged with all Purchase Centres within ONGC
about the instances immediately where supplies of sub-standard product /
defective material have been noticed so that further dealings with such firms
are discontinued.
99.12.2 Dealing
with such suppliers whose products have been found substandard should be banned after following existing procedure for banning
business dealings with the firms.
99.12.3 The Projects should maintain sufficient stocks of mud chemicals to meet
any emergency arising out of supply of sub-standard material. Sufficient
stocks should be maintained to last till such time fresh supplies are
received which should be specified by User Deptt.
99.13
Third party inspection for accepting bulk supplies of mud chemicals
from abroad.
In case of bulk supplies of mud chemicals from abroad, if situation so
warrants, third party inspection may be resorted to with the approval of
Director concerned
and accordingly suitable provisions for third party
inspection will be made in supply orders in case of bulk supplies of mud
chemicals from abroad.
99.14 Procurement of Barytes and C.M.C.
99.14.1 In respect of items like CMC and barytes where ONGC / OIL are the only
or major consumers, in order to keep up the competition and also to ensure
availability of the vital materials at the Projects, it is essential that orders
should be placed on more than one bidder. While taking a decision to
award contract, following factors should be essentially kept in view:i.
The capacity of the bidders.
ii.
Past performance of the bidders.
While assessing past
performance it should be ensured that a supplier does not get
penalised because of working constraints of ONGC, particularly with
regard to the time consumed in sampling and bonding.
99.14.2 Subject to foregoing, following guidelines should be followed
purchasing authority with regard to distribution of quantity.
A)
by the
CMC
If there are less than three acceptable bidders, then 75% should be ordered
on lowest bidder and 25% on the second lowest provided he matches the
rates with the lowest. If there are three or more acceptable bidders then
distribution should be 60% on the 1st lowest, 20% on 2nd lowest and 20%
on the 3rd lowest provided 2nd and 3rd lowest bidders match the rates of the
lowest bidder.
B)
Barytes
i)
If tendered quantity is upto 15,000 MT
The order should be given to the 1st lowest bidder subject to his capacity
and suitability.
ii) For tendered quantity exceeding 15,000 MT but below 50,000 MT
The order should be given to a minimum of three bidders with the
lowest bidder getting 60% of quantity subject to his capacity limitations.
In case more than one bidder is found suitable and acceptable for
supply from one and the same grinding mill / premises then the order on
those bidders should be added and combined quantity should be taken
into account for the 60% limit. The remaining quantity should be
distributed i.e. 20% each to the 2nd and 3rd lowest bidder subject to
their capacity.
iii) Quantity from 50,000 MT to 1,00,000 MT
The order should be given to the minimum of five bidders. The 1st
lowest bidder should get 30000 tonnes(60% of 50,000 tonnes) subject to
his capacity and suitability. For tendered quantity exceeding 50000 MT
the 1st lowest bidder should get 50% quantity subject to his capacity and
suitability. The remaining quantity should be equally divided amongst the
remaining four bidders or more if some more acceptable bids exist,
subject to their matching the price with the 1st lowest bidder and
subject to their capacity.
iv)
For tendered quantity exceeding 1,00,000 MT
The order should be given for 50% quantity to the 1st lowest bidder
subject to his capacity and suitability. The remaining quantity should
be equally divided amongst the remaining six bidders, subject to their
matching the price with the 1st lowest bidder and subject to their
capacity and suitability.
v) The above limit of minimum of three or more bidders has to be taken as a
guideline rather than taking it as a hard and fast rule. Each case should
be decided on merit.
MISCELLANEOUS
100.
VENDOR RATING
100.1 Once the orders are placed and executed, vender rating should be carried
out by concerned Material Management. For rating the vendors the factors like
past performance, capacity and capability should be taken into consideration.
A Format for vendor rating at STR-41 refers.
100.2 The lists of vendors so rated should be circulated to all purchase centres
within ONGC and up-to-date records maintained by all concerned.
101.
SECURING ADJUSTMENT - FOLLOW UP OF CLAIMS
Purchase Section will secure adjustment in all claims preferred with Insurance
and with firms for short / damaged supply of material received against the
supply order.
102.
AMOUNT OF COMPENSATION
The amount of compensation recoverable in case of default shall be
determined by the conditions of the contract governing the supply. It should
be understood that the amount must be limited to what is considered to be
reasonable by the appropriate authority in the circumstances of each
case and the maximum amount permissible under the terms of the
contract need not be claimed as a matter of course.
103.
RETIREMENT OF DOCUMENTS FROM BANK
The bank documents will be retired by the Accounts Section of the Project /
Office concerned.
104.
KARDEX SHOWING PROGRESS OF ACTION ON INDENTS
104.1 Kardex Sheets should be maintained in respect of each purchase case
showing day to day progress of the case i.e. dates on which:(a) Indents were received
(b) Bids were invited
(c) Bids received
(d) Bids were decided
(e) Acceptance of tender was issued
(f) Progress of supplies etc.
104.2 The Kardex Sheets must be kept duly filled in and up-to-date so that the
position of any case may be known at a glance.
(MM/42/2009 dated 08.07.2009)
105.
PERIOD WITHIN WHICH INDENTS ARE TO BE PROCESSED
The maximum time limits for various activities under different categories of
tenders are prescribed in the schedules, as per details below:
Annexures B-I
Tender processing time applicable for Open Tenders
Annexures B-II
Tender processing time applicable for Limited Tenders
As far as possible, all tenders should be processed within time norms
prescribed for the respective category of tender.
In all cases valuing above Rs 5 lakhs, the concerned dealing officer will
indicate in the inner side of file cover the time norm prescribed for each
activity, the scheduled date of completion of the activity and actual date of
completion. In case of concurrent activities, the date of completion of last
activity (among the concurrent activities) should be indicated. In case of delays
in completion of any activity, the number of days of delay should be separately
indicated alongwith the reasons for delay, if any. The formats for this purpose
are appended as Annexure-C-I and C-II. All agendas submitted for approval of
EPC and proposals for approval of Directors must also contain such
information, tabulated in the prescribed format.
In high value cases and in those cases where a large number of bidders are
expected to participate, if the actual time required for any particular activity is
expected to be more than the time norms specified for the same, extra time
can be given for that activity (where it is felt necessary) with the approval of
CPA not below L-I (concerned Director in EPC level cases) specifically
indicating the reasons for the same. Further, such approval should be
obtained prior to initiating the processing of the tender. Accordingly, the
„Format for reporting tender processing time‟ should also be modified suitably.
106.
COMPLAINTS / REPRESENTATIONS - CONSIDERATION OF
106.1 Anonymous representations received in respect of current cases should
be ignored. In case a proposal is under consideration of the Tender
Committee, then the proper representation received, if any, should be
commented upon by the Tender Committee.
106.2 Any complaint or representation received after finalisation of the case
should be examined carefully so that corrective action, if any, could be taken
in future.

RECOUPMENT OF DEMANDS
CHAPTER - 2
107.
MAINTENANCE OF KARDEX
107.1 The numerical ledger cards at present are required to be maintained by
all MM Organisations in the Projects and Regions (the Priced Stores
Ledgers are maintained by the EDP Section on the computer). These
numerical cards consist of 'Bottom Cards' and `Top Cards'. Whereas in
the Bottom Card the postings of the receipts, issues and balances etc. are
required to be recorded, in the Top Card the information as to the
outstanding dues on orders etc. has to be indicated. The bottom card is
required to indicate the minimum and maximum levels (Safety Stock,
R.O.L. & E.O.Q.) fixed for the purpose of automatic replenishment. As these
cards form the basis of recoupment, which is a salient feature for the control
of the inventory, it is necessary that for each item of `Stores & Spares'
stocked in the various stores houses both the Bottom Cards & Top Cards
are invariably maintained and all transactions and other information recorded
promptly. It is also necessary that the total consumption year-wise for each
of the past two years and month-wise for the current year should be
recorded as such, so that the past and current consumption figures are
readily available and it should not be necessary to total up each and
individual issue to know the past consumption at any time.
107.2 One copy of all receipt and issue vouchers will be forwarded to the Kardex
Section for keeping the postings up-to-date. One copy each of the supply
orders from purchase sections will also be sent to the Kardex Section.
107.3 It is necessary that review of each card is conducted at the following stages to
account for any fluctuation in consumption and to revise the limits where
necessary and thus take timely steps for either reducing the outstanding
dues or estimate any additional requirements:i.
When the stocks and dues on order of each item reach the minimum
level. This is a must.
ii. At the time when the physical stocks reach the safety stock level
iii. Irrespective of the review at the above two stages, each card should be
reviewed annually.
iv. In addition to the above, Ledgers Posters (Stock Holders), while posting
transactions should normally take note of any abnormal issues viz.
variation of over 20% consumption over a six months period.
107.4 The dues on order against imported material should be promptly recorded by
the Project / Regional Stores in the Top Cards the allocation made for the
Project / Region against the contracts should be reflected and the cards
kept up-to-date by posting receipts and the balance due etc.
107.5 Each numerical ledger card should be embossed with rubber stamps
"Indigenous" or "Imported", as the case may be, to differentiate between
imported and indigenous items.
108.
MAINTENANCE OF BUFFER STOCKS
108.1 The Purchase Department takes purchase action on receipt of indents from
the user / provisioning sections together with financial sanction. For the
purpose of maintaining buffer stocks, Regional Stores functions to meet
demands of the materials of recurring nature required by the Projects.
Assessment of buffer stocks in normal Departments is not a difficult affair but
in an organisation like the ONGC, it is rather difficult. Hence these buffer
stocks can only be maintained if the work centres plan atleast two years
ahead and advise their requirements to the Headquarters / Regional Stores.
109.
FIXATION OF MAXIMUM / MINIMUM LIMITS
109.1 To keep a check on demands and to avoid unnecessary accumulation of
materials, the Maximum and Minimum limits for all the items will be fixed. A
minimum and maximum limit should be laid down in a Project, below or
above which the balance should not ordinarily be allowed to go. These
limits will be fixed by a Committee of the following officers:i) One Officer from the Materials Management
ii) One Officer from the Fin.& Accts. Deptt.
iii) One Officer from the concerned User Deptt.
109.2 INDIGENOUS ITEMS
109.2.1 In the case of the indigenous items the requirements are worked out by
the MM Deptt. (Stock) at the Projects / Regions either by automatic
replenishment on Min. / Max. basis or on receipt of requirements from the
indentors. The orders are placed by them to the extent of their powers
except for items where purchases have been centralised.
109.2.2 With a view to have an effective control over inventories, it is desired
that for all stock items of stores & spares held in the store houses, the Min.
and Max. limits are fixed. It is further essential that the limits are judiciously
fixed taking into account the realistic consumption and lead time etc. and
that the limits so fixed are periodically reviewed. The MM Officer should
ensure this. The safety stock limits should not be more than 3 months. In
fact this figure should vary from item to item and range from 0-3 months.
The minimum i.e. reorder level should be fixed taking into account the
safety stock required to be kept and the lead time consumption for the item.
The maximum i.e. the quantity to be recouped at a time should be limited to
6 months requirements and in special circumstances where it becomes
necessary to exceed 6 months requirements, say for item of special
manufacture or items which are recouped on annual contract basis, it must
be ensured that the receipt is properly phased and controlled so as not to
increase the inventory. The phased delivery should be properly inserted in
a purchase order before issue. The recoupment of the indigenous items
with a recurring consumption should be normally on automatic - Min. / Max.
basis. In other words when the stocks and dues reach on minimum i.e. the
R.O.L., the quantity required to be recouped should be = Min. + Max.
(E.O.Q) – Stock – Dues on order + known pending demands, if any.
“Min.” Represents

the R.O.L. i.e. safety stock and lead
requirement.
“Max.” (E.O.Q)

The quantity to be ordered (economic) at a time
and is to be limited to 6 months requirements
excepting in special circumstances as brought out
above.
time
109.3 Imported Items
109.3.1 The recoupment of imported items is initiated by the User Departments,
who generally base their requirements on the basis of the data received by
them from various lower formations and after taking into account other
factors as known to them and the likely drilling programme. The figures for
the stock in hand and dues on order are required to be furnished by the Head
of Materials Management of concerned Business Group for each item and
only after taking these into account, the net requirements are to be worked
out. This must be ensured. The actual past consumption atleast for the last
two years consumption and the reason for the excess requirements should
be indicated against each such item. The lead time for the imported items
is considerably higher and it is necessary that the demands are initiated well
in time taking into account the lead time and the requirements should not be
worked out for more than 12 months at a time. Here too steps should be
taken for proper stipulation in the purchase orders for a phased delivery.
The buffer stocks for the imported items should not exceed more than six
months requirements.
109.3.2 The formula for recoupment being:Net quantity = A + F - Stocks - Dues on order + Buffer stock required.
`A' represents
 the interim period requirements
i.e. the
requirements till the
commencement of the
period.
`F' represents
 the annual requirement for the period......to.....
`Stock' represents  the physical stock as available on _____ as
indicated by the Head of Materials Management
of concerned Business Group at the time of
preparation of the statement for requirements.
„Dues on order'  the outstanding quantities still to be received
represents
against contracts and pending indents at the time
of preparation of the statement as indicated by
the Materials Management.
110.
*The senior most Materials Management Officer not below E-1(MM) will
have full powers to fix maximum-minimum
limits for stock items in
consultation with the concerned indentor and with concurrence of Finance.
*(Authority: Item No. G.1.2 of The Delegated Powers,1994)
111.
REVIEW OF THE MINIMUM / MAXIMUM LIMITS
The Minimum and Maximum limits will be reviewed annually or earlier, if
warranted, either on account of changes in programme of operations or
changes in the norms.
112.
PREPARATION OF RECOUPMENT REQUISITION
Recoupment requisition should be made in duplicate in the form shown

authorities must complete the inspection expeditiously so that the claims
can be preferred on the insurance companies within the validity period.
118.3 Discrepancies of trivial value
Discrepancies should be raised carefully. Discrepancies of trivial value
costing Rs.50/- or less should not normally be raised provided the
discrepancy is not in excess of 10% of the value of consignment even if the
loss itself is of trivial value. It has to be ensured that the discrepancy is not
one of a series of discrepancies from the same source of supply or same
stock recipient. In so far as purchases are concerned, these provisions
will apply only to cases where 100% advance payment has been made.
118.4 Stock Discrepancy

the items being loaded. If the materials are to be despatched needing a
number of wagons, urgently required materials are to be loaded and
dispatched first.
120.
DESPATCH CONVOY NOTE / DESPATCH REGISTER
120.1 In case of full wagon loads, Despatch Convoy Note is to be prepared as per
form STR-30. Original copy of the Dispatched Convoy Note is to be retained
by the section, 2nd copy to be sent to the consignee, 3rd copy is to be
handed over to the consignor (stock holding section) and 4th & 5th copy will
be placed in the wagon.
120.2 Each copy of the Despatch Convoy Note, placed in the wagon, is to be kept
inside the wagon near the door so that when the door is opened, one copy
of the Convoy Note is readily available and can be taken out at once. Care
will be taken to ensure that the Convoy Notes are well placed and are
secured from slipping down amongst the packages.
120.3 All records of despatches are to be maintained in the Despatch Register

ESCORTING OF MATERIALS
121.1 When any materials are sent in open wagon, suitable escort is to be
arranged to accompany the wagons, to avoid pilferage enroute.
121.2 During the transit by Rail, delay may take place. The movement of the
wagons may, therefore, be expedited at the station where the materials are
likely to be transhipped from Broad Gauge to Meter Gauge and vice versa
or at the station where the change of Railways takes place such as from
Northern Railways to Western Railways and the like.

Indenting department, who is authorized / licensed to handle explosives, by
visually checking the items w.r.t verification of quantity (nos.), weight, visual
defects, batch nos. etc., and also subject to obtaining an undertaking from
supplier to the effect that in case the field performance of such visually
inspected items is not satisfactory, the same shall be replaced by the
manufacturer at his cost.
(MM/56/2010 dated 11.10.2010)
122.3 Quality Assurance Department shall not be responsible for inspection against
supply orders valuing less than Rs. 10,000/- .
(MM/42/2009 dated 08.07.2009)
122.4 All steps must be taken to commence inspection within 3 days after the
receipt of the intimation from the Materials Section for items to be inspected
locally and within 7 days if the materials to be inspected are located out of
station. Reasons for delay in the inspection beyond this period should
invariably be reported to the Head of concerned Materials Management,
Head of Quality Assurance Department and Project Head. Inspection report
(or, Intimation in respect of rejection of material) should be sent to supplier by
the inspecting authority within 4 days after completion of inspection / receipt
of relevant test reports (if any), under intimation to concerned sections
(including purchaser, Indentor, consignee and payment authority).

147.1 Particular care should be taken to see that all completed cards are carefully
stored chronologically in the order of Class and Code Nos. and are easily
available for immediate reference, suitable Binders or Cabinet being used
for this purpose. If office of the Accounts Officer is not situated in the same
station, the completed cards should be sent to that office for reconciliation
with the priced ledgers before being placed in the Binders or Cabinet for
the completed sheets cases. The Materials Management officer will be
responsible to see that proper arrangements are made for the safe despatch
of the cards. Suitable Binders or Cabinets may be kept apart for the
purpose in which the cards duly arranged by Classes and Code Nos.
should be placed alongwith a manuscript list of such cards, which should
show :i.
Class
ii. Code No.
iii. Description of item
iv. Period of posting, commencing and closing voucher
v. No. and date.

Stores Accounts Officer. A spare copy of the list should be kept as office
copy and another should be sent to the Stores Account Officer which should
be returned by him duly signed in acknowledgement of the cards. When the
numerical ledger cards are received back after reconciliation, these should
be checked with office copy of the list.
147.3 In order to ensure that all vouchers of a particular month are completely
received by the Accounts and EDP sections to enable processing of the
transactions being done there, it is necessary to have a watch on the flow of
vouchers through a system of completion certificate. The fortnightly
completion certificates should be prepared in 4 copies on STR-38 and
distributed as under :a) First copy - office copy;
b) Second and third copy to be sent to the Priced Ledger Section (PSL)
who will arrange to return back one copy duly verified failing which it will
be presumed that all the vouchers mentioned therein have been
received by them.
c) Fourth copy to the EDP cell who will watch for the flow of vouchers from
the Accounts.

the physical balance of Stock Verification it should be seen by Accounts
Section and Stock Verifier that the cards bear the initials of the
Supervisor / Incharge of the Numerical Ledger Section.
148. KARDEX CARD – POSTING OF / PREPARATION OF ADJUSTMENT
VOUCHERS :
There should be no entry in the card ordinarily without a voucher for the
transaction. The cards should be posted with great care, neatness being a
very great factor, no overwriting should be allowed and in no
circumstances should any entry of transaction be scored out. If by
mischance any entry of transaction which would have been correctly made
in another card but has been written in a particular card, the error should be
corrected by back entry giving reference to the ledger card. Also an
Adjustment Voucher in form STR-21 (SA-05) be prepared. All
such
corrections should be made under initial of clerk / Incharge of Numerical
Ledger Section. All Receipts, Issues and other Vouchers should be posted

COMPUTERISED INVENTORY CONTROL
161.
Annexure of Order Schedule
(i)
Instructions as under are necessarily to be followed
Annexure of the order schedule :a)
while preparing
Vendors code is to be mentioned in 6 Alphanumeric fields. Structure
of vendors code consists of first 2 character denoting the project code
of unit placing the supply order, the 3rd place denoting the source
of supply and the 4th, 5th, 6th being continuous serial number for each
source of supply.
List of Alpha-numeric code to be operated in 3rd place is as
indicated hereunder. In case of imports, the country of origin has been
identified with Alpha character and in case of indigenous source,
with numeric digit. No unit is authorised to either use any code which
has not been prescribed or to allot fresh code themselves. For
example, if an order is being placed on an Italian firm having
Serial No. '202' by Drilling Business Group, the vendor code will be
'DZI202'. Similarly, if a Supply Order is being placed by Technical
Business Group, on Indian party having rate contract with ONGC
with an allotted serial number of '193', the vendor code would be
TZ5193'
(b)
Supply Order code is to be indicated in 9 Alfanumeric character.
The first three characters remain same what has been prescribed for
vendors code i.e. the first two fields will be the authorised Project
code and the third will be source code. 4th and 5th places are
prescribed for identifying the various Sub-Purchase Sections within an
authorised accounting unit. For example, for a Supply Order placed
on a DGS&D rate contract party by 'Geopic Division' assuming
section code 'EG' given and the control number for Supply Order
being 1234, the Supply Order code would be 'E43EG1234'. Another
example, if a Supply Order is placed by EBG Sub-Purchase Section
'A' on an Australian firm and Supply Order Control number being
5678, the Supply Order code would be EZAEA5678.
(c)
The third pre-requisite is the account head to which the cost is
debitable for budget control purpose. If the Supply Order is totally
for Capital item, "Capital" is to be indicated and if it is for totally stores
and spares "Stores & Spares" would be indicated. If the order is for
capital equipment with operational spares indicated "Capital with
Spares" would be given.
(d)
Details of items ordered will be indicated by operating continuous
serial number without sub-serial number (alpha or Roman). However,
Capital item will be listed out first followed by Stores and Spares. In
case of Capital item, in column '2', asset class as per asset directory
will be mentioned and in case of Stores and Spares material code as
per material code directory. For new items not covered under the
existing directives, order can be placed only after getting the Asset
Class allotted from Corporate Central Accounts in case of capital
item and Material Code from Reference Book Cell of Technical
Business Group for Stores and Spares item. It may be noted in this
regard that no reference for allotment of Asset Class code and / or
Material Code should be referred to Corporate EDP Section.
(e)
The Annexure of order schedule also indicate details of distribution of
ordered quantity to different ports and different consignees. This
form is required to be filled even if the port destination is one as well
as ultimate consignee is one. Serial number, as indicated above,
should be maintained in this form also and quantity ordered as per
column '2' of this form will be same as above. The distribution of
quantity for various ports should tally with total ordered quantity and
distribution to ultimate consignee from one port should tally with the
total quantity mentioned against one port.
(f)
The prescribed procedure of indication of Vendors code, Supply
Order code and Account Head to which cost is debitable, is to be
strictly followed for all Supply Orders to be placed. All Supply
Orders invariably should have Annexure duly filled in. It will be
ensured that Supply Orders to Corporate EDP Section are not sent in
piecemeal. All Supply Orders copies meant for EDP Section will be
delivered first to Coordinator within the Business Group. Coordinator
will transmit the Supply Orders onward in one lot on fortnightly basis.
Fortnight for this purpose would be 1st to 15th and 16th to end of the
month. The Supply Order lots for a fortnight will be forwarded to EDP
Section within 5 days of end of fort-night alongwith number and ending
control number of Supply Order.
(g)
All amendments issued to main supply orders will be numbered
serially separately so that a proper control and watch can be kept on
amendments. All amendments should also be sent to EDP Section
through the Coordinator of the Business Group on fortnightly basis
alongwith Supply Order lot. Full details of amendment numbers for
each Supply Order should also be mentioned in the forwarding letter.
Vendors code and original Supply Order code should be mentioned
on the Top left corner of amendment.
(h)
The order rate column can be further expanded to indicate the rate
basis for contractual purposes e.g. CIF / FAS / FOB / FOR station of
despatch etc.
(i)
The rate column is optional.
(j)
Delivery Date - The date of delivery should be indicated as per
contractual terms e.g., "5 months from the date of opening of
confirmed LC etc." and after this portion, the expected date of
delivery should be shown separately or otherwise the only date shown
will be taken as the completion date for all items.
(k)
Various other instructions to the suppliers e.g., packing & forwarding
charges, Insurance charges or other conditions may be shown after
typing out all items on order. The total value of order may also be
exhibited, if so desired.
(ii)
Besides the schedule of items ordered, the distribution statement of quantities
ordered consignee-wise should also be shown. This also forms part of the
contract to enable the supplier to despatch the materials to the different
consignees. The code for computer processing has to be shown for the
Port- consignees as well as the Ultimate consignees as per details indicated
hereunder. In case of entire order being consigned to only one consignee,
the consignee's particulars may be shown in the body of the contract order
in detail and the consignee codes may be indicated in the Annexure to supply
order.
(iii)
Besides this, each order sent to EDP Cell will have following information for
EDP purpose:a) Vendor Code: As per the codification done by the Purchase Department.
If this is not available, it may be kept blank.
b) Schedule of extra charges: The codes for schedule of extra charges
are indicated hereunder. These
should be calculated for the entire
order and be filled in appropriately. It will be seen that separate set of
codes have been given for extra charges that are payable to the suppliers
and extra charges
that are not payable to the supplier but are to be
reckoned for evaluating the total cost of stores e.g. Customs Duty
and Port Charges. Care should, therefore, be taken to fill up the codes
correctly in this regard. Even if the quantum of charges are not fixed
but are to be paid on actual basis, the Purchase Officer should fill-in the
Code on estimated basis. Since this information is not based for
effecting payment, estimated charges will be adequate for the internal
purposes.
c) Covering Indent Numbers: At present indent numbers have not been
codified. As and when indent numbers are codified and indents are
received in the Purchase Department, with the codified numbers, these
may be filled in. For the time being the existing numbers may be filled
in.
d) Code for LC conditions: If payment is to be done through LC, fill up
otherwise 'O' has to be given.
e) Code for supply condition
To be filled as under:
For Ex Factory
for FOR Station of despatch
for FOR Receiving Station
for F.A.S.
for C.I.F.

f) Currency
The code for currencies should be as per the instructions indicated
hereunder.
g) Rate of Exchange
The rate of exchange in case of currency other than rupee has to be
indicated here. The exchange rate is the number of Indian Rupee upto
5th decimal place for one unit of Foreign Currency in which payment is
made. For example, if one US$ = Rs.9.10, write 910000. The last 5
digits must never be left blank.

CHAPTER – 10
PROCUREMENT OF PREMIUM BITS ON CONSIGNMENT
BASIS
CHAPTER – 10
(MM/26/2007 dated 11.01.2007)
“163 Procurement of Bits on “Consignment basis”
163.1 Offers shall be invited from bit-manufacturing companies on ICB basis.
163.2 Estimated annual off-take shall need to be indicated in the NIT and tender
document so as to enable the bidders to get an idea of the volume of
expected business at the time of bidding. Estimated initial order quantity,
separately for PEL/ML areas and non-PEL/ML areas, shall also be
indicated in the tender documents.
163.3 It shall be made clear in the tender documents that there shall be no
minimum guaranteed off-take by ONGC. Payment shall be released by
ONGC only for the actual quantity consumed or retained beyond 9 months
by ONGC as per contract provisions.
163.4 Evaluation of offers will be based on the “Criteria for Ranking of Bidders”
and “Details and Documents to be submitted for evaluation of Bits”, as per
Annexures to this Chapter (i.e.„Annexure-A-1‟ and „Annexure-A-2‟
respectively).
163.5 Two Bids System shall be followed in the Price Bid and bidder shall submit
the price list of the offered products. The price list shall cover the sizes
required by ONGC for TCR & PDC bits under their product range. Bidder
shall submit separate sealed price covers for each size of Bits, say 17 ½”,
12 ¼”, 8 ½” & 6”. For any other sizes Annexure A-1 & A-2 will be framed
by Bit Committee [as constituted by Director (T&FS)] on requirement
basis.
163.6 Bidders shall be technically ranked as per the net marks scored against
the evaluation criteria placed at Annexure-A-1. Bidder(s) scoring highest
net marks will be ranked as TR-1, the next highest as ranked as TR-2 and
so on.
163.7 Contract is to be awarded to the top ranked bidder as per procedure given
below:
(a) In case only one bidder is ranked as TR-1, the price bid of such
bidder shall only be opened.
(b) In case of tie in bidders ranked as TR-1, price bid of bidder ranked
as TR-1, with highest marks in „B‟ in respect of „bit specific information‟
as per the evaluation criteria specified at Annexure-A-1, shall only be
opened.
163.8 For assessing the reasonability of prices, bidders may be asked to submit
documents establishing the prices at which the bidder has supplied same
or similar type of bit to other Oil / Gas company in last 2 years. In case
the quoted prices are found to be on higher side in comparison to the
supply prices of bidders as above or the LPR of same Bit, negotiations
may be carried out by tender committee with the approval of Competent
Authority, as per the prevalent MM guidelines.
163.9 As only one bid i.e. ranked # 1 shall be considered for award of contract,
the Competent Purchase Authority shall be determined as per the powers
applicable in case of Single Tender, i.e. as per clause MP4 (d) of BDP.
163.10 Supplier shall mobilize the initial quantity within 35 days of placement of
S.O. Subsequent call-out orders shall be placed by the authorized
representative of ONGC, as and when required. Such call out quantity has
to be delivered within 15 days of issue of call-out order.
163.11 Required quantities of each type of bit shall be drawn from the stock
maintained by supplier.
163.12 The inspection of bits shall be carried out by ONGC representative after
receipt of bits in India.
163.13 Selection of suitable TCR/PDC bit of any size from the available lot of bits
will be made by ONGC.
163.14
Payment:
(a)
In case of supplies to be made in PEL/ML areas, customs duty is
not payable by ONGC.
(b)
However, for supplies to be made in non-PEL/ML areas, customs
duty charges shall be borne by the supplier. When customs duty
paid bit is used by ONGC, the catalogue bit price shall be paid to
the supplier alongwith customs duty against documentary
evidence.
(c)
In order to avoid the customs related problems like payment of
customs duty in case of unused bits imported for PEL/ML areas
and claiming of duty draw back in respect of unused bits imported
for non-PEL/ML areas (i.e. imported and stocked by supplier
against call out by ONGC, but not actually drawn by ONGC till the
expiry of Consignment Rate Contract), the imported bits, not
exceeding the initially ordered quantity, shall be retained by ONGC
since the same can be put to use by ONGC, in view of the fact that
bits are consumed on regular basis. However, the initial quantity
should be ordered in such a way that the leftover quantity at the
end of the contract period is bare minimum.
(d)
Invoice shall be raised by supplier on monthly basis for bits
consumed during the month and the bits retained by ONGC at the
end of contract period as per (c) above.
(e)
Quantity for which payment shall be made to the supplier should
not exceed the ordered quantity.
163.15 Provision shall also be kept for outright purchase of suitable left over bits
at the end of contract period, at the sole option of ONGC. Quantity of bits
retained at the end of contract period shall not exceed the initially ordered
quantity against the contract.
163.16 Contract duration shall be 3 years from the date of notification of Award of
Rate Contract, without any provision for price escalation and also without
any provision of extension of the contracts.
163.17 Other provisions of MM Manual and Instructions issued from time to time
shall be followed by all concerned, as in case of other tenders.
