Are you the one who is in favour of the new delivery-based criterion?

Thanks for referral, Pragya. I support your views.If it happens in coming future then it will be a great news for new small scale contractors.

Yes Delivery based criterian for awarding contracts is good but that is not the only one which should decide on whom to award the contract. Most Government Organization have been following a method where bids are invited in two sealed envolops. First to be opened are Technical bids which should provide details of tech capabilities through qualifoed manpower and preior experiences of handlling such projects: in time - within the budget - satisfactory or excellant quality etc. The second to be opned is the finacial bid where Price quote for the project. However what is missing many a time is to evaluate and investigate wether the bidder really has those qualified personals on his role and would they be there throughout the project cycle or not and experience of what kind is it through the experts-employess and staff on roll of the bidder or the company has executed similar jobs in the past? Also if all the jobs go to only to the experienced then How will the New comers get opportunities and How do we build capabilitiess ofr the future? How and who will measure the performance and delivery (Time-Quality and Cost). There are also issues like Performance and delivery may be hamperd not because of the contractor but because of extranious issues beyond his control or because of the non cooperation of the organizations involved.

In Government already there are systems in place but it is not implimented properly. Every new government wants to put the old wines in new bottle and wants to fool the public so that public thinks they are getting some thing novel and new.

i support the new and innovative system.The project completion and delivery may cost more than 50%.i do not know what are the other terms and conditions.The contract must include heavy penalty and recovery for delay.
