Complex offshore tender of ONGC: A bird's eye perspective on how a job unfolds

Sep 20: Offshore operations are always a risky job for any E&P operator
8And pushed by potential bidders, ONGC is always seen to be drastically modifying the bid evaluation criteria.
8The real challenge is when to say "no" and when to agree to modify the terms.
8It is a big challenge, particularly when dozens if not hundreds of parameters are involved.
8There is always a complaint that ONGC does not do its due diligence well, the basic engineering is fuzzy, leaving contractors with the scope of coming up with change orders later.
8In such contract, in a consortium, one partner offered to pay up the security deposit for the others, but that obviously had to be turned down
8But in dozens of other points, ONGC had to fall in line to suggestions offered.
8It is a to-and-fro battle, if the BEC is too tight, competition may not be strong enough, and if the BEC is subject to different interpretations, you can end up with wildly different bid estimations.
8Here is a study of what goes into the final preparation of a tender in a complex offshore job.
8There are lessons here for both sub-vendors as well as for others who want to get into the offshore game.

Complex offshore tender of ONGC: A bird's eye perspective on how a job unfolds

Sep 20: Offshore operations are always a risky job for any E&P operator
8And pushed by potential bidders, ONGC is always seen to be drastically modifying the bid evaluation criteria.
8The real challenge is when to say "no" and when to agree to modify the terms.
8It is a big challenge, particularly when dozens if not hundreds of parameters are involved.
8There is always a complaint that ONGC does not do its due diligence well, the basic engineering is fuzzy, leaving contractors with the scope of coming up with change orders later.
8In such contract, in a consortium, one partner offered to pay up the security deposit for the others, but that obviously had to be turned down
8But in dozens of other points, ONGC had to fall in line to suggestions offered.
8It is a to-and-fro battle, if the BEC is too tight, competition may not be strong enough, and if the BEC is subject to different interpretations, you can end up with wildly different bid estimations.
8Here is a study of what goes into the final preparation of a tender in a complex offshore job.
8There are lessons here for both sub-vendors as well as for others who want to get into the offshore game.
