To All Chief Vigilance Officers Subject: Improving Vigilance Administration - Increasing transparency in procurement/sale - use of web-site regarding. In CPWD, MCD, Civil Construction Division of Post & Telecom departments and in many other departments/organisations, there is system of short term tenders (by whatever name it is called in different organisations), wherein works below a particular value are undertaken without resorting to publicity as is required in the open tenders. This practice is understandable because of cost and time involved in organizing publicity through newspapers. In all such cases, notice can be put on the web-site of the departments as it does not take any time compared to giving advertisements in the newspapers and it practically does not cost anything.

In view of the reasons given above, the Commission has decided that instructions given in the Commission’s circular (No.98/ORD/1 dated 18.12.2003) for the use of web-site will also apply to all such works awarded by the department/PSEs/other organisations over which the Commission has jurisdiction.

Subject: Consideration of Indian Agents. No.12-02-6-CTE-SPI(I)-2 Government of India Central Vigilance Commission (CTE’s Organisation) OFFICE ORDER NO. - 25/04/04 Satarkta Bhawan, Block ‘A’, GPO Complex, INA, New Delhi – 110 023 Dated the 21 st April, 2004. The commission has received a complaint alleging that in Government tenders an agent participates by representing a company officially and another bid is submitted as a ‘direct offer’ from the manufacturer. At times, the agent represents a foreign company in one particular tender and in another tender the said foreign company participates directly and the agent represent another foreign company. There is a possibility of cartelization in such cases and thus award of contract at higher prices. 2. The issue has been deliberated in the Commission. In order to maintain the sanctity of tendering system, it is advised that the purchases should preferably be made directly from the manufacturers. Either the Indian Agent on behalf of the foreign principal or the foreign principal directly could bid in a tender but not both. Further, in cases where an agent participates in a tender on behalf of one manufacturer, he should not be allowed to quote on behalf of another manufacturer along with the first manufacturer in a subsequent/parallel tender for the same item. 3. It is suggested that these guidelines may be circulated amongst the concerned officials of your organisation for guidance. Sd/- (A.K.
