Buyer Guide

How IOCL Tenders Work

IOCL tenders are issued by the unit that needs the work or material, so the portal listing mixes Marketing (terminals, depots, retail infrastructure), Refineries, Pipelines, Petrochemicals and R&D. Refinery locations include Panipat, Mathura, Koyali, Barauni, Haldia, Digboi, Guwahati, Bongaigaon and Paradip, so location matters for both mobilisation and eligibility. Larger tenders carry a pre-qualification (PQ) stage, and many include an Integrity Pact monitored by Independent External Monitors, in line with Central Vigilance Commission guidelines.

MSE (Udyam) Preference in IOCL Tenders

Under the Public Procurement Policy for MSEs, 2012, central public sector enterprises including IOCL are expected to source at least 25% of annual procurement from Micro and Small Enterprises, with sub-targets of 4% for SC/ST-owned and 3% for women-owned MSEs. Udyam-registered MSEs are generally exempt from bid security on eligible tenders. Upload the Udyam certificate with the technical bid.
