Kerela goes e-way on tenders

Tenders worth above Rs 25 lakh will be invited through e-mechanism only

GN Bureau | November 6, 2012



The Kerela government has decided to take the e-route to tendering process in the state. All departments and PSUs under the state government will soon switch to the 'e-tendering' mechanism for inviting tenders worth above Rs 25 lakh by March 31.

The decision to introduce e-tendering mechanism in all government departments, PSUs and boards was taken to ensure more transparency, efficiency and real time monitoring facility in all public procurement activities.

State government had introduced e-tendering in certain government departments, including public works department and KSRTC on pilot basis in 2011. The success of the e-tendering mechanism in the initial phase has prompted the government to use the system in a massive manner in all government departments and enterprises.

As on September 30, 2012 as many as 356 online tenders were published in Kerala e-government procurement website and training has been given to over 1,000 users from various government departments, boards and PSUs.
