               Dated the 12.03.2003.

To

   All Chief Vigilance Officers

Subject:-  Use of web-site in Government procurement or tender process.

Sir,

   Attention is invited to the instructions issued by the Commission vide
communication No. 98/ORD/1 dated 28.03.2002 regarding publishing of tender
documents on the web-site.

2.     The Commission has received a number of references from various
departments/organisations expressing reservations in implementation the said
instructions in toto  The matter has been reviewed in the Commission and it is
observed that it is a fact that use of web-site for accessing the information has so
far not picked up in the country and it would not be possible for the vendors to
access the web-site of every organisation to know the tender details. There is also
no centralised web-site for the tenders

3.     Therefore, it has been decided by the Commission that till such time
the penetration of Information Technology is adequate and a dedicated web-site for
Government tenderers is available, Departments/Organisations may continue with
publishing of NIT in newspapers in concise format and put the detailed
information in their respective web-sites.  Please visit http://www.tradereader.com
                   
Yours faithfully,

                   Sd/-
