Mahanadi Coalfields Limited, is the second largest Coal Producing company of
India. Much of its business activities have been outsourced. The finalisation of tenders through manual processes used to take 120 days on average which has decreased to a week by the adoption of the web-based e-procurement system which has re-engineered the entire tendering process covering all categories viz. works, services, hiring of vehicle, procurement of materials, annual maintenance contracts. The project covers all types of tenders viz. Open (Domestic & Multi Currency Global), Limited Tenders, Single Tenders valuing Rs 2 Lakh or more. The whole tendering activity starting from Floating of Notice Inviting Tender till Award of Contract is covered under this Project.
The Project was conceived by MCL and has been implemented with the support of National Informatics Centre, Govt. of India. The salient features of the project include fully automatic evaluation of the Tenders including Techno-commercial bid and Price Bid; evaluation on the basis of highly structured and objective data obtained from the bidders doing away with the need of submitting any document online or off-line for evaluation.
The entire business logic required for the validation of data and evaluation of bids has been incorporated in the software. Bidders and Departmental users get appropriate system generated e-mails and SMS at various stages of tendering. Bidders can obtain clarifications on the portal in a very transparent manner without disclosing their identity. Anybody can view the Tender documents and status of the any Tender from the “Guest Login”, without getting registered on the portal .
