Practical Example
The Ministry of Rural Development is procuring sanitation services for a rural district. The Tender Committee, following Para 9.8.6, meticulously documents each step. They record the firms that expressed interest, the shortlisted bidders after the Expression of Interest (EoI) stage, and the criteria used for technical evaluation. The minutes detail the strengths and weaknesses of each proposal, such as 'M/s Swachh Bharat's extensive experience in similar projects' and 'M/s Nirmal Gram's lack of experience in the specific region.' The committee also notes any discrepancies in evaluator scores and justifies the final award recommendation to M/s Swachh Bharat based on their superior technical score and competitive financial bid.
