  19. Improvements in I.P Implementation Based on interaction with TII & IEMs and feedback from vendors following improvements have been made in IP: • Threshold limit for Tenders for signing of IP valuing above Rs 1 crore only has been fixed which forms 95 % of Tenders by value. • IP to be executed on plain paper, irrespective of whether it is from foreign or Indian bidders. • IP proforma revised and notified vide PMC circular No. 08/2007 dated 07th June 2007 and suitable amendment issued.

  20. Complaints referred to IEMs 1.M/s Trishakti Electronics & Industries Ltd., Kolkata represented that there was violation of IP by other bidders as these bidders have formed a cartel and quoted rates. • Case value : Rs. 87.58 Cr. • No IEM pre-nominated. • In the joint report dated 10.8.06 , IEMs (Shri V.K.Agrawal and Shri Arvind Varma) concluded that no action appears to be warranted in respect of the representation.

  21. Complaints referred to IEMs 2.M/s Weihai Sunfull Electronics Group Co. Ltd., China represented against Technical rejection of their bid on account poor performance of their supplies against past order. • Case Value: Rs. 18.8 Cr. • No IEM was pre nominated • In the report dated 14.11.06, IEM Shri Arvind Varma concluded that the representation does not have any merit and ONGC may proceed to decide the tender in accordance with its rules and procedures.

  22. Complaints referred to IEMs • 3. M/s Sercel, France after opening of the price bid on 24.08.06, represented raising various issues related with procedural lapses, different specifications, submission of prices after tender closing time. • Case Value: Rs.417 Cr. • Shri V.K.Agarwal was pre-nominated . • The IEM in his report dt. 28.11.06 observed that Geo. services , ONGC processed the tender in a fair & transparent manner giving equitable opportunity to both the bidders , as per policy of ONGC..

  23. Complaints referred to IEMs 4.M/s Baoding Earth Science Technology Co. Ltd, China represented against Technical rejection of their bid for Geophone String Model 20DS10(B) though satisfactory performance certificate from oil cos. were submitted. The bidder also represented that one of the other bidders has not furnished documents to support that their past supplies were of oil field Marsh casing. • Case Value: Rs. 18.8 Cr • No IEM was pre-nominated. • In the report dt. 12.01.07, IEM Shri Arvind Varma concluded that it appears the representation under consideration does not have any merit. Accordingly ONGC may proceed to take a decision in respect of the tender in accordance with its rules and procedures.

  24. Complaints referred to IEMs 5. Four Hon'ble MPs complained that while evaluating the commercial responsiveness , unwanted relaxations were granted to the Consortium bidder lead by M/s Great Offshore and another bidder M/s Nafrogaz. M/s Sub Ocean one of the consortium partners with M/s Great Offshore was stated to be not meeting the Financial criterion regarding Turn over. Whereas in case of M/s Nafrogaz the Statutory Auditors expressed doubt about the financial position of their Parent company. Hence the representationist sought that the above two bids ought to be rejected. Priced bids were opened on 24.08.07. • Case Value: Rs 725 Cr. • In the Joint Report dtd 08.10.07, the panel of 3 IEMs opined that the relaxation granted to the consortium of M/s Great Offshore in the matter of turnover criteria in relation to M/s Subocean seems to be in order and does not bestow any undue advantage. In case of other bidder M/s Nafrogaz, the Balance Sheet of 2006 (not available during evaluation) resolves the issues raised by the earlier BS of 2005. Presently, the BS of 2006 is available and demonstrates that the financial position of the parent co.M/s Nafro Gaz, Ukraine is sound and consequentially, Nafrogaz India is commercially responsive.

  25. Complaints referred to IEMs 6. Contract with M/s Liaohe Petroleum Exploration Bureau (LPEB) China for 3D Data acquisition was terminated by ONGC due to delay in mobilization and un-preparedness of contractor for execution of contract. Contractor represented against termination of contract on non justified grounds in spite of the fact that LPEB has fulfilled their contractual obligation. • Case Value: Rs. 240Cr • In their record of proceedings dtd 27.11.07, the panel of 3 IEMs noted that the contract was terminated by ONGC on 08.11.07, it was also brought to their notice that the representationist is contemplating Arbitration proceedings in respect of the termination of the contract. In the totality of the circumstances, IEMs felt this was essentially a matter of arbitration.

  26. Complaints referred to IEMs 7.M/s L&T represented that as per tender provisions bids shall be submitted only in the name of bidder or a consortium/ joint venture lead by the bidder in whose name bidding documents were issued by ONGC. M/s L& T contented regarding responsiveness and admissibility of bid submitted by M/s Ramunia Fabricators Sdn. Bhd. Malaysia in whose name bid documents were not issued but in the name of M/s Ramunia International Services Ltd, Kuala Lumbur • Case Value: Rs 2323 Cr • In the Record of Proceedings dtd 30.11.07, the panel of 3 IEMs opined that since the consequence of the factual position is that the bid submitted by RFSB does not successfully meet the requirement stipulated in Clause 10.1 of ITB, hence the bid seems to be incapable of being regarded as admissible under clause A-4 of BEC. Therefore the bid of RFSB does not merit consideration .

  27. Periodic review & Evaluation Review the effectiveness of Integrity Pact program by the following: • The Independent Monitor and senior leadership of organisation to conduct an annual assessment of Integrity Pact Program effectiveness with CVC and TI and identify areas/ways to improve it. • The Independent Monitor shall submit an annual report on the progress/effectiveness of Integrity Pact Program to the Board of Directors of Organization.
