    CENTRAL VIGILANCE COMMISSION
    *****
    Satarkta Bhavan, Block ‘A’
    G.P.O. Complex, I.N.A.,
    New Delhi– 110 023
    Dated the 18th December, 2003

    Subject:- Improving Vigilance Administration: Increasing Transparency


    in Procurement/Sale etc.

    The Commission is of the opinion that in order to bring about


    greater transparency in the procurement and tendering processes there is need
    for widest possible publicity. There are many instances in which allegations
    have been made regarding inadequate or no publicity and procurement officials
    not making available bid documents, application forms etc. in order to restrict
    competition.

    2. Improving vigilance administration is possible only when system


    improvements are made to prevent the possibilities of corruption. In order to
    bring about greater transparency and curb the mal-practices mentioned above
    the Central Vigilance Commission in the exercise of the powers conferred on it
    under Section 8(1)(h) issues following instructions for compliance by all govt.
    departments, PSUs, Banks and other agencies over which the Commission has
    jurisdiction. These instructions are with regard to all cases where open tender
    system is resorted to for procurement of goods and services or for auction/sale
    etc. of goods and services.

    (i) In addition to the existing rules and practices regarding giving


    publicity of tenders through newspapers, trade journals and
    providing tender documents manually and through post etc. the
    complete bid documents alongwith application form shall be
    published on the web site of the organization. It shall be ensured
    by the concerned organization that the parties making use of this
    facility of web site are not asked to again obtain some other related
    documents from the department manually for purpose of
    participating in the tender process i.e. all documents upto date
    should remain available and shall be equally legally valid for
    participation in the tender process as manual documents obtained
    from the department through manual process.

    (ii) The complete application form should be available on the web site
    for purposes of downloading and application made on such a form
    shall be considered valid for participating in the tender process.

    (iii) The concerned organization must give its web site address in the
    advertisement/NIT published in the newspapers.

    (iv) If the concerned organization wishes to charge for the application


    form downloaded from the computer then they may ask the bidding
    party to pay the amount by draft/cheques etc. at the time of
    submission of the application form and bid documents.

    3. While the above directions must be fully complied with, efforts


    should be made by organizations to eventually switch over to the process of e-
    procurement/e-sale wherever it is found to be feasible and practical.

    4. The above directions are issued in supersession of all previous


    instructions issued by the CVC on the subject of use of web-site for tendering
    purposes. These instructions shall take effect from 1st January, 2004 for all such
    organizations whose web-sites are already functional. All other organizations
    must ensure that this facility is provided before 1st April, 2004.
