8. For each sector minimum two transporters will be inducted, if not decided other wise by the Corporation in case of small sectors.


EVALUATION METHOD AND GENERAL GUIDELINE FOR BUSINESS ALLOCATION

The evaluation of the tender will be based on lowest quoted rates on sector to sector basis. Multiple transporters may be considered for award of contract on sector to sector basis at the sole discretion of HPCL.

The criteria for evaluation of the Price Bid & finalisation of award of contract shall take into account the following:

1. Quoted Rate on sector wise basis.2. Ranking of tenderer based on original quotation on sector wise basis.3. Number of trucks offered by the tenderer, for which verification of Registration Books

has been carried out and have been technically accepted.4. Any other factor considered relevant by the corporation.5. In case two transporters required for a particular sector then negotiation will be carried

out with the L-1 (Lowest Quoted Rate) party of that sector only. On finalisation of rate with L-1 party, the counter offer of the lowest negotiated rate will be given to next party in order of ranking and subject to their acceptance contract will be finalised. The business will be distributed for the subject sector between two parties in the ratio of 60:40.

6. In case three parties are needed to meet the requirement of trucks in a particular sector then after negotiations with L-1 party of that sector, counter offer will be given to remaining two parties in order of ranking of that sector and the business will be distributed in the ratio of 50:30:20.

7. For a particular sector, if the requirement of trucks is met by say L-1, L-2, L-3, L-4, L-5 transporters then negotiations will be carried out with the L-1 party only. On finalisation of rate with L-1 party, the counter offer of the lowest negotiated rate will be given to L-2 to L-5 transporters. In this process, in case any tenderer between L-2 to L-5 say L-3 & L-4 transporters refuse to accept the lowest negotiated rate then corporation reserves the right to give counter offer of the lowest negotiated rate to other high ranking parties in sequence e.g. L-6 & L-7 till the requirement of trucks is met in that sector. In the process the original L-3 & L-4 ranking parties will not get any contract in the subject sector as they have refused to accept the HPCL counter offer rate.

8. If the other eligible bidders do not agree to match the lowest negotiated rate counter offered to them, Corporation reserves the right to fully award the business to the L-1 transporter. If the L-1 transporter alone is not capable of fulfilling the total requirement of trucks in that sector, then if it becomes necessary for the Corporation to transport in that sector at different rates, the Corporation reserves the right to award contract in such a way so as to enable the Corporation to get the maximum advantage.

9. LPG Dealers of the corporation who wish to operate as dealer cum transporter for lifting their own loads should have at least one truck registered in his name and should necessarily participate in the tender. Contract to such dealers cum transporter shall be awarded only on the basis of their merit in the tender. With increase in requirement of trucks due to ever increasing market demand, the corporation at its sole discretion reserves the right to induct trucks from any LPG dealer of HPCL, who had participated in the tender for upliftment of their own load requirement during the currency of the contract.

10.The contract will be awarded in the proportion of availability of trucks from the transporters after considering the allotment of trucks as per ranking in the previous sectors.


11. The business will be distributed to the tenderers (transporters) on sector wise basis. Transporter qualifying in the tender must accept the business for those sectors offered by HPCL as otherwise their EMD will be forfeited.

NOT WITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED ELSEWHERE IN THIS TENDER, IN THE EVENT THAT CORPORATION RECEIVES THE SAME RATE FOR A PARTICULAR SECTOR/DISTANCE SLAB w.r.t ANY SOURCE/ LOADING BASE BY A GROUP OF BIDDERS, THE CORPORATION RESERVES THE RIGHT TO BELIEVE THAT THESE BIDDERS HAVE FORMED A CARTEL AND THE RATE QUOTED AS “CARTEL RATE” AND MAY ACCEPT OR REJECT OR NOT RECKON SUCH RATES/ OFFERED TRUCKS/ RANKINGS ETC.
