Course Overview :
The training objectives would be to focus on measures to strengthen
the tendering and contracting mechanisms on Indian Railways based
on analysis of contracts that have performed poorly or given suboptimal
results due to procedural shortcomings, lack of foresight and
proper planning. Emphasis would also be on highlighting those
contracts conditions which improve the quality of execution and
outcome of contracts thus improving overall public service delivery.
Service contracts, consultancy contracts and other specialized
contracts would also be dealt with along with the latest audit and
vigilance perspective on the issue. A special area of focus would be
e‐tendering and e‐procurement and best practices in other public
sector organizations for improving efficiency and performance
delivery. The Government is also trying to bring in a new
procurement law apart from exploring e‐auction as a more effective
way of securing best value in the bidding process. The Course will
also introduce these new themes to help widen the knowledge and
learning base of the participants.
The programme would be of value to those officers who have had
about 7‐10 years of experience (and beyond) of dealing with various
kinds of contracts. The resource persons would be drawn from
Indian Railways and its public sector units apart from experts from
the infrastructure sector sharing their experiences of tenders and
contract management. The programme is multidisciplinary in nature
and aims to disseminate new learnings and new initiatives in the
field of public procurement, contract management processes and e‐
procurement.
