Rationale
Rationale for Unified End-to-End System
Unified: A single system meant to be used as a
shared infrastructure by all agencies in the State
End-to-End: Entire procurement process from
estimate/ indent preparation, tendering, contract /
catalogue management until e-Payment will be
handled
4
Rationale for Unified End-to-End System
Rationale
An effective mechanism to enforce procurement
policy decisions consistently across all
government agencies in the State
Worth the heavy investments
− Establishment of PMU
− Investments in audit by 3rd party audit agency
− Selection of principal bank
− Establishment of training centers
− Robustness of hardware and software to ensure high
Quality of Service (QoS)
5
Rationale for Unified End-to-End System
Rationale
Single point integration with external systems such as
treasury and payment gateways
Generation of State-level MIS
Contractors view the State as a single procurement entity
− Register once, participate on all tenders in the State
− Get automated notifications about all tenders published in the
State
Government officers get accustomed to a single software
− Inter-department transfer of govt. employees
Implementation of unified end-to-end e-Procurement is a
Vision, Policy and Architectural decision.

Key Decisions Taken
Service Level Agreement (SLA) Definitions
• Operational SLA
• Deployment SLA
Business model
• Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) model
• Transaction based model; “Pay per use”
• Contract pays transaction charges

Defining Characteristics of GoK’s
e-Procurement System
• Envisioned as an end-to-end platform (i.e.) all stages of procurement
from indenting until payment will be handled electronically
• A single platform will be shared by all government agencies in the
State
• Fully PKI-enabled system
• Contractors will not be required to visit government offices to
participate in tenders and also for bid submission
• Payment due to contractors will be paid electronically using NEFT
• Implemented on Private-Public-Partnership (PPP) basis; the private
partner is paid on a transaction basis

Extract from KTTP Act
Section 18-A. E-Procurement
(1) There shall be a single unified e-procurement platform for all procurement
entity which may be notified under sub-section (2)
(2) With effect from such date, as may be specified by the Government, by
notification, a procurement entity in respect of a class of procurement, if any,
as may be notified shall procure its procurements through the e-Procurement
platform.
(3) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, the Government may
make rules, for specifying a separate procedure to be followed by
procurement entities notified under sub-section (2) for e-procurement through
e-procurement platform, and for non-application of other procedure of
procurement to e-procurement.

Faster file movements and integrated file monitoring
system
Enhanced efficiency measured through faster completion
of procure-to-pay cycle
Standardization of procurement procedures
28
Perceived Impact (Citizens)

and services procured by the State (to be made
available soon)
29
Key Challenges
User readiness
Attitude and mindset
Availability of IT infrastructure
Skilled personnel
Network connectivity in user agencies
Change management
Standardization of procurement processes required for
development of a single instance software
30
Learnings
Successful deployment of software in Public Works
Department (PWD) in the pilot stage
Amendment to KTPP Act has been very helpful in rolling
out the system
Dedicated training centers and facilitation centers
Extensive handholding support requirements
Equitable sharing of risks and responsibilities with private
partner in PPP model
System administration by Government is good
Establishment of good robust e-Procurement cell is
essential
31
Future Roadmap…
• Framing e-Procurement Rules
• Organizing seminars and training workshops
• Rolling out Contract Management, Catalogue
Management and e-Auctions
• Implementation in all government departments /
organizations by the end of 2010
• Be a Role-Model on e-Procurement implementation
