(Adds quote, cost and freight offers)

ABU DHABI, Oct 25 (Reuters) - Egypt's state grain buyer GASC received offers from seven suppliers at its international wheat purchasing tender on Tuesday.

The lowest offer was $182.74 a tonne free-on-board (FOB) for 60,000 tonnes of Russian wheat and was presented by Louis Dreyfus, traders said.

"It looks like a gradual return to normality in Egypt after this year's ergot disruption with two more participants than in the last tender," one European trader said.

Egypt reversed a controversial ergot fungus specification in August, ending a saga that reduced trader interest in supplying the country with wheat. The reversal has helped GASC resume its purchases.

GASC is seeking the wheat for shipment Dec. 1-10.

Results for the tender are due later on Tuesday.

*Louis Dreyfus: 60,000 tonnes Russian at $182.74
