four quarterly returns for yearly perfofrmance-assessment and finalization

It is accordingly enjoined upon CPIOs of various departments, their

subordinate/field offices, Corporations, Boards and PSUs to register

themselves and submit quarterly returns on the designated portal https://

cic.gov.in/, by or before 30-06-2023. The work flow to be followed for

Annexure to this circular.

For any assistance in this regard, the concerned CPIO may contact

Shri Rajeev Kumar Sah, Consultant IT, Central Information Commission,

Lapses, if any, shall be the personal responsibility of the CPIO

concerned. These instructions are brought to the notice of all concerned

for immediate compliance.

363

any item for which regular catalogue/category-based bidding is available

on GeM.

Some buyers are opting for BoQ based bidding or custom

catalogue based bidding for cases that are possible through regular

catalogue/category-based bidding.

As Custom/BoQ bids are manually created by Buyers, the Bidders

and their Product Offering in such bids are not validated by GeM. In

Custom/BoQ bids, the credentials of sellers on their authorization by the

OEMs are not validated since there is no pre-uploaded catalogue of

OEM mapping possible.

Custom catalogue and BoQ based bidding is not to be resorted to

in respect of items for which regular categories exixt on GeM. This is

particularly important in respect of information Technology, Cyber

Security, Surveillance and Medical equipment categories etc., where

there is possibility of data transfer through the equipment. In addition,

adequate care needs to be taken by the Buyer to ensure compliance

of the restrictions under Rule 144(xi) of GFR, 2017, MSE, and MII

purchase Preference while creating Custom or BoQ based bid for

categories not available on GeM.

GeM has informed that it would be constrained to cancel any bid

created by the Buyer using Custom/BoQ bid method for which regular

categories exist on GeM, irrespective of the stage up to which the bid

has progressed. Buyers are necessarily required to refrain from

creating Custom/BoQ bids for any item for which regular category is

Accordingly, all the Administrative Departments are advised to
