Recently (during the past 9 months), Western Railway floated so many E. Tenders pertaining to Cardiology & Cardio Vascular Thoracic Surgery Departments for various Surgical Disposable & Implantable products.
All these E. Tenders are to be governed by the PUBLIC PROCUREMENT POLICY 2017 ( Make in India products), as per the G.O. notifications from Union Government of India. Contrary to this G.O. they approved and placed/issued a Purchase Order for the Imported product(s) only, in spite of Indian make products are available (being quoted by few bidders) at lowest rate or equal to the Imported product rate(s), without considering/evaluating their products. If they don't require any suitable Indian make Surgical Devices, then why they called through OPEN TENDER TYPE for procuring the products (When they have other options - Limited Tender type or PAC tender type)?
If you check the last 7 months P.O.s of Western Railway (particularly for procuring the products to Dr. Jag Jivan Ram Hospital, Mumbai), they placed an order only for the Imported products. Completely Breach of Public Procurement Policy - Make in India product(s) totally ignored by them for their usage.
