Ref: Board’s letter No. 99/RS(G)/179/2 pt. dated 11.02.2016,
Railway Board Vigilance has brought out that instances have come to
notice where tenders were issued incorporating only a generic splitting clause
as “purchaser reserves the right to split the procurement quantity between two
or more sources depending upon the vital/critical nature of the item, quantity,
delivery requirements, capacity of the firm, past performance of the firm and
other terms” without declaring the clear intention of the administration for
applicability of this clause for splitting of the order quantity in the tender case,
‘Thereafter, tender cases were finalized with splitting of orders in routine
manner. ‘The same is not found to be in line with the spizit behind the existing
guidelines on splitting of quantities.
2, Board's instructions issued vide letter of even number dated 11-02-2016
clearly lay down the instructions for splitting of tendered quantity, both in the
event of pre-decided split ordering; and in case of no prior decision to split the
order, It must, therefore, be ensured in the case of pre-decided split ordering
that the clause in the tender schedule should clearly bring out the intention to
split the quantity while ordering and the conditions mentioned in the
instructions are complied with. However, if the tender quantity is not split due
to some valid reasons, the same must be recorded in the tender committee
proceedings/by Tender Accepting Authority. In the case of no prior decision
to split the ordez, the extant provisions laid dowm in the Board’s ibid letter
dated 11-02-2016 should also be specified in the tender.
3. Instructions issued vide Boards letter dated 11.02.2016 must be followed
in letter and spirit to ensure complete transparency of the process devoid of
any arbitrariness.
