Two booklets prepared by the Chief Technical Examiner may be circulated to all the Departments, Boards/Corporations etc. to be used as useful checklists

If the items to be purchased/jobs to be done are highly specialized and limited tenders have to be invited, then it is necessary to ensure that there is no cartel formation

Consultants prepare the list of parties from whom limited tenders are to be invited and the departments/organizations make no effort to scrutinize or verify the list

Sometimes purchases have been made which would last much longer than the shelf life of the material concerned. This should be avoided

SOR should be revised regularly and only on the basis of realistic rate analysis

There would be no ground to approve any bid other than L1, except when the rates quoted by L1 are found to be unworkable

A competent officer in the deptt./org. should always supervise the work done by the consultants
