In order to maintain transparency in the entire tendering process, there will be on-line e-tendering for all works of Rs 50 lakh and above in the engineering departments from July 1. A decision to this effect was taken at a high-level meeting chaired by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Wednesday.With its implementation, works under manual tendering process will be discontinued. National Informatics Centre (NIC) will provide the requisite software for the State wide e-tendering initiative.
Meanwhile, e-tendering has been successfully implemented in Water Resource and Works Departments. However, 20 more projects will be completed by the engineering departments in June.
A massive training programme has already been launched by the NIC and IT Departments to train all officers of engineering departments dealing with tenders.Training will also be conducted for prospective builders belonging to various categories.There will be substantial saving of time and cost with the implementation of such e-tendering project besides making the tendering process more transparent and competitive.
An e-procurement cell will also be set up in the engineering departments.Chief Secretary Ajit Triapthy, Development Commissioner RN Bohidar, Agricultural Production Commissioner Satya Prakash Nanda and many senior officers attended the meeting.
