E&P contracting brief for the day

Feb 26: 1) Oil India Limited extends pre-bid window and hardens bidder compliance levers in GeM core cutting services tender
8Oil India Limited has issued multiple corrigenda, extending the pre-bid query deadline and shifting the pre-bid conference.
 
2) Offshore cementing services tender extended
8The offshore cementing services package is turning into a compliance-and-supply-chain test, not just a manpower contest.
8The bid calendar has already moved more than once, and the latest extension pushes bidders deeper into documentation-heavy territory.
8The payoff is access to a multi-year call-out contract, but only if bidders can clear the additive tie-up gate and price-structure constraints.
 
3) Oil well cement rate contract bid submission extended
8The bid submission has been pushed to 06 March 2026, buying bidders time.
8Behind the date move, the pre-bid posture stays hardline on firm pricing and compliance-led spec alignment.
