Original Rule Text

process. The primary objective of the Central Public Procurement portal is to provide singlepoint access to the information on procurements made across various Ministries and Departments. The CPPP has e-publishing and e-procurement modules. It is mandatory for all Ministries / Departments of the Central Government, Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) and Autonomous and Statutory Bodies to publish on the CPPP all their tender enquiries and information about the resulting contracts. CPPP provides access to information on documents relating to pre-qualification, Bidders’ registration, Tender Documents, details of bidders, their pre-qualification, registration, exclusions/ debarments, decisions taken regarding pre-qualification and selection of successful bids. Implementing end-to-end eprocurement for all procurements is also now mandatory either through the CPPP portal or any other suitable GCQE9 compliant portal.

What This Means

Furthermore, the rule requires these entities to implement end-to-end e-procurement for all procurements. This means the entire procurement process, from advertising the tender to awarding the contract, must be conducted electronically, either through the CPPP or another Government-Certified Quality Evaluator (GCQE) compliant portal. This promotes efficiency, reduces paperwork, and enhances accountability in government procurement processes. This rule affects all government departments and organizations involved in purchasing goods and services, as well as potential suppliers and contractors who wish to participate in government tenders.
