Guidelines to CET Correct evaluation decision will continue to depend upon the experience and good judgment of those who are responsible for evaluation. The following documents need to evaluate:- (a) all bids accepted at the time of bid opening. (b) bid document along with technical specification. (c) guideline for CET. (d) minutes of bid opening if any.
Guidelines to CET Where there is any variation technical compliance statement. Determination of bid responsiveness based on contents of bid itself. Quarries to or from bidders should generally be avoided. No document should ask which impact on price. Only responsive bids should be evaluated in detail. (a) it meets all the major technical clauses. (b) it meets commercial clauses. (c) the offer is accompanied by a bid security deposit on the prescribed proforma in bid document and valid for 30 days beyond the validity.

The preparation of comparative statement of value of bids is to be carried out by the finance representative of CET. Commercial evaluation by MM Cell representative in CET & vetted by finance representative. CET may finalize its recommendation within further TEN days
Guidelines to CET The CET should clearly spell out its recommendations in its report about Technically acceptable bids. Listed in an order starting from the lowest technically acceptable bid(l-1) upwards or as per vendor rating starting from V-1. The report should contain complete technical, commercial and financial appraisal. The logic leading to the recommendations and reason for rejecting bids lower than the lowest technically acceptable bids.
Guidelines to CET The tender shall be evaluated for the quantities indicated in the schedule of requirements. In normal purchase procedure, the orders will go in favour of the lowest acceptable bidder for the full quantity. Apportioning the quantities may arise due to certain limitations or considerations. As most of the items procured by the BSNL are specialized products it becomes necessary to sustain multiple vendors/suppliers through distribution of quantities.
Distribution of the tendered quantities The quantity to be allocated to L-1 and number of suppliers on whom orders shall be placed would be specified in the tender document. The CET thus should act as per these guidelines for distribution of the quantities amongst the various eligible suppliers as per the tender document. In case no mention is made in the documents then, it should be in the inverse ratio of their price quotation. The L-2 bidder should be offered uniform price @ of L-1 rate as per the tender document.
All the pages and enclosures of the CET report should be numbered consecutively and signed by all CET members CET needs additional time to complete the work, permission of extension may be obtained from competent authority by the Chairman of CET specifically indicating the reason for the same. The meetings of Committee for Evaluation of Tender should be fixed with prior consultation with its members. The Chairman/Convener of the Committee for Evaluation of Tender should formally submit the report of the committee to the MM Branch.
Evaluation of Single responsive bid Such cases are not to be treated as single tender. CET is allowed to evaluate such responsive bid and competent authority can decide in consultation with IFA by satisfying that: a) Wide publicity was given for the subject tender b) Tender specifications are generic in nature. c) Qualified bidder satisfies all tender specifications, terms & conditions d) Rates are reasonable. e) All the policies/guidelines regarding procurement of Telecom equipment and stores in BSNL are observed.
CVC Guidelines 1) No post tender negotiation with L-1 except in certain exceptional situations. 2) Proprietary items, items with limited sources of supply 3) Item where there is a suspicion of cartel formation. 4) With the justification and details of such negotiation should be duly recorded.
