Manual For Procurement of Works (Updated June, 2022)
The Manual for Procurement of Works was comprehensively revised and issued in 2019. The manual, over a period of time, has become a standard reference document for officials involved in Public Procurement across all Ministries/ Departments/ Attached and Sub-ordinate bodies/ Central Public Sector Enterprises. etc. The Manual is also a resource material for institutes providing training on
Public Procurement.
Public Procurement is a dynamic field where policies are constantly reviewed to help Government achieve its socio-economic or strategic goals. Hence, there is a need to keep reference documents, like manuals, updated to ensure their continued relevance.
Instructions on procurement issued by Department of Expenditure from time to time, since issuance of last Manual, have been incorporated in the current edition. Further, all procurement related instructions issued by Central Vigilance Commission have been subsumed into the Manual, in collaboration with the Commission.
Manuals issued by this Department are to be taken as generic guidelines, which are necessarily broad in nature. Ministries/ Departments are advised to supplement this manual to suit their local/ specialized needs, by issuing their own detailed manuals (including customized formats); Standard Bidding Documents and Schedule of Procurement Powers to serve as detailed instructions for their own procuring officers.
However, certain instructions containing "shall" in the Manual are mandatory (indicated at the end of respective paragraphs); any deviation from these instructions shall require relaxation from this Department (for Ministries/ Departments etc.) or from the Board of Directors (for Central Public Sector
Enterprises).
I would like to acknowledge the hard work of the concerned officers not only in this Department but in other Organisations, Ministries and Departments; the role of Shri Vikram Rajvanshi, Consultant (Public Procurement) is also specifically acknowledged.
I hope that this updated Manual will help procuring officials working in various Ministries/ Departments and Public Enterprises as a guiding template, deepen the impact of policy initiatives and improve the ease of doing business with the Government.
