EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers and Chemical (GNFC) is promoted by
Government of Gujarat through GIIC(Gujarat Industrial Investment Corporation)
and were established in the year 1976, which is one of the ―NAVRATNA‖ companies
of Gujarat State. GNFC established itself firmly with diversified product portfolio
from its initial Fertilizer business to Chemical and then on to Information Technology.
The project is about ―A Study of E-Procurement and Vendor Management applied by
GNFC.‖ The reason for choosing these topic is to study how new technologies are
helping companies in their operations and making their business profitable.
Now a day‘s company is looking forward to use new technologies and expand their
business. Systematized study requires proper planning and implementation of the
same, this report explains the process of Vendor Management and their evaluation /
selection process, GNFC is a large scale industry so it‘s requires large quantity raw
materials and requires a good vendors or dealer so the product is reached to the end
user on time.
E-Procurement makes it possible to automate buying and selling over the internet.
Typically an e-Procurement-enabled website will have product comparisons across
vendors and various processes like tendering, auctioning, vendor management, and
catalogue and contract management. High-end e-procurement solutions allow
organizations to define their own processes in the form of workflows - thus utilizing
concepts of business process modelling.
And understanding how the E-procurement process is adopted by GNFC. And E-
procurement is very useful for each and every Government and Companies. It helps to
provide a transparency, using of proper technologies.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

INDIAN AGRICULTURE SECTOR
Indian Agriculture is one of the most important sectors in the economy of the country. Agriculture
in itself contributes more than 18.5 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product of the country and
around 60 per cent people of India are dependent on this sector.
The monsoon also has a very significant impact on the Indian agriculture. Because of the shortage
of irrigation system in Indian agriculture most of the farmers depend highly on rainfalls which is
uncertain. The amount of rain determines the nature of the crops and also the production. Indian
agriculture in the majority of the state is looked after by the State Governments rather than the
Central Government. Indian farmers don‘t get a sufficient supply of chemical fertilizer for
agriculture. The main objective of the fertilizer industry is to ensure the supply of primary and
secondary nutrients in the required quantities.
Indian Fertilizer Industry:-
India is primarily an agriculture based economy. The agricultural sector and its other associated
spheres provide employment to a large section of the country's population and contribute about 25%
to the GDP.
The Indian Fertilizer Industry is one of the allied sectors of the agricultural sphere. India has
emerged as the third largest producer of nitrogenous fertilizers. The adoption of back to back Five
Year plans has paved the way for self-sufficiency in the production of food grains. In fact
production has gone up to an extent that there is scope for the export of food grains. This surplus
has been facilitated by the use of chemical fertilizers.
Today, India stands as the third largest fertilizer consumer and producer of the world. It has been
observed that the subsidies on Indian fertilizer have been rising at a constant rate. This is due to the
rise in the cost of production and the inability of the government to raise the maximum retail price
of the fertilizers.
The increase in the production of fertilizers and its consumption acts as a major contributor to
overall agricultural development.
Contribution of Fertilizer industry in the Indian Economy:
Fertilizer industry has a significant good impact on the development of the Indian agriculture
sector. The following points may reflect its contribution.
1. Agricultural development:
With the development of fertilizer industry, Indian agricultural development has been made
possible. It has played a vital role in the green revolution.

2. Capital Investment:
Fertilizer industry today has more than Rs. 5700 Cr investment and has become one of the
important industries of the economy.
3. Corporate Development:
In the last 30-40 years this industry has become a structured industry. It has made many joint
ventures, multinationals and co-operatives which is one of the unique characteristic of this industry
development in the nation.
4. Regional development:
Gujarat, Maharashtra, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra, Assam, Bengal, Rajasthan, Bihar are the
states who have many plants of fertilizers. [These states‘ economy has a high impact of fertilizer
units.]
5. Employments:
This industry has provided shelter to 3.5 lakh families in the last fifty years directly and a number
of supporting industry during the last three decades.
Investment in the fertilizer sector:-
The fertilizer sector attracted huge investment in the past, particularly between mid-70‘s and 90‘s.
However, there was hardly any investment during the 10th Plan. The total investment in the
fertilizer sector by the end of 2005-06 was Rs.25, 923 crores. With the accelerated growth in the
Indian economy, other sectors have high rates of return on investment, but the fertilizer sector has
failed to attract more investment due to low returns.
To increase the capacity of urea by about 12 million tonnes to a total of 31.5 million tonnes by
2011-12, India will need to invest at least Rs.36, 000 crores in the sector at current capital costs.
Fertilizer Industry in India has mainly five sick units. They are badly in need of Coal /Gas/LPG. If
these units get raw material they will contribute to the agricultural sector of the nation. These sick
units include HFC, FCI, MFL, FACT and PPCL. Which are located in the Eastern Region of the
country [will result in some parity in the creation of production capacity of urea in the states of
Bihar, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Orissa, which do not have any urea plant at
present]. It is envisaged that revival of these closed urea units in Eastern India will add an
additional urea capacity of 50 LMT per annum.
The reasons for the sickness of FACT are mainly that out-dated technology of the plant, high
energy consumption norms, large manpower and high fixed costs of the new ammonia plant (900
MTPD)

INDIAN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SECTOR
The Indian information technology sector continues to be one of the sunshine sectors of the Indian
economy showing rapid growth and promise. The information technology industry in India has
gained a brand identity as a knowledge economy due to its IT and ITES (IT Enabled Services)
sector. The information technology industry has become the most robust industries in the world. IT,
more than any other industry or economic fact, has an increased productivity, particularly in the
developed world, and therefore is a key driver of global economic growth.
Economies of scale and insatiable demand from both consumers and enterprises characterize this
rapidly growing sector. Economies of scale for the information technology industry are high. Unlike
other common industries, the IT sector is knowledge –based. Efficient utilization of skilled labour
forces in the It sector can help an economy achieve a rapid pace of economic growth. The IT
industry helps many other sectors in the growth process of the economy including the services and
manufacturing sectors.
The major segments of the industry are IT Services, Engineering Services, R&D Products, and
BPO Services. Much of the activity is centred on service offerings in Banking, Financial Services
and Insurance (BFSI), Hi-Tech and Telecom, Manufacturing, and Retail.
―India's top IT service providers‖ are Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys, Cognizant, Wipro, and
HCL Technologies. These IT service providers are readying plans to gain a bigger share of their
largest market, US, by aggressively chasing contracts being served by multinationals rivals. The
Indian top IT city is as Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Delhi, Mumbai, and Ahmedabad. Bangalore
is considered as Silicon Valley of India because it is leading IT exporter
Information technology and the Hardware and Software associated with the IT industry, are an
integral part of nearly every major global industry. Both software development and the hardware
involved in the IT industry include everything from computer systems and, to the design,
implementation, study and development of IT and management systems. Owing to its easy
accessibility and the wide range of IT products available, the demand for the IT services has
increased substantially over the years.
The IT sector has emerged as a major global source of both growth and
employment.
The IT industry can serve as a medium of E-governance, as it assures easy accessibility to
information. The use of information in the services sector improves operational efficiency and adds
to transparency.it also serves as a medium of skill formation. Information technology (IT) is defined
as the design, development, implementation and management of computer-based information
systems, particularly software application and computer hardware Today, it has grown to cover most
aspects of computing and technology.

IT professionals perform a variety of duties ranging from data management, networking, engineering
computer hardware, databases design, to the management and administration of entire systems. With
the already high penetration of conventional personal computer and network technology, coupled
with the growing convergence of information, communication and entertainment, the industry is now
keenly focused on the integration with other technologies such as mobile phones, automobile and
televisions etc., thereby increasing the demand for such jobs. The largest firms globally include
IBM, HP, DELL, and MICROSOFT.
The strong demand for electronics hardware and software in India has been fuelled by a variety of
drivers including the high growth rate of the economy, emergence of a vast domestic market catering
to the new generation of young consumers, a thriving middleclass populace with increasing
disposable incomes and a relatively low cost work force having advanced technical skills.
Indeed, the government has also identified growth of this sector as a thrust area as there remains
great expectation for significant growth. The Indian IT sector has also built a strong reputation for its
high standards of software development ability, service quality and information security in the
foreign market which has been acknowledged globally and has helped enhance buyer confidence.
The industry continues its drive to set global benchmarks in quality and information security through
a combination of provider and industry level initiatives and strengthening the overall frame works,
creating awareness wider adoption of standards and beat practice.
According to National Association of Software and Services Companies
(NASSCOM)
―IT industry has played a key role in putting India on the global map. The IT –BPO sector has
become one of the most significant growth catalysts for the Indian economy. In addition to fuelling
India‘s economy, this industry is also positively influencing the lives of its people through an active
direct and indirect contribution to various socio-economic parameters such as employment, standard
of living and diversity. The industry has played a significant role in transforming India‘s image from
a slow moving bureaucratic economy to a land of innovative entrepreneurs and a global player in
providing world class technology solutions and business services‖.
India is preferred for companies looking off shore their IT and back office functions .it also retains
its low-cost advantage and is financially attractive location when viewed in combination with the
business environment it offers and the availability of skilled people.

Porter’s Five Forces Model
Assessing the Balance of Power in a Business Situation:-
Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizer & Chemical LTD
Promoted By Government of Gujarat
15
Porter’s 5 Force Model Analysis
Porter’s Five Force Model for Fertilizer Industry
Bargaining Power of Suppliers:-
Threat of New Entrants (Moderate)
Potential (Reliance, Adani, Laxmi Niwas Mittal etc.)
Potential entrants are retailers like GODREJ ADHAR and HARAYALI.
Processing of the raw material requires very large machinery & high processing cost, so it is
not easy for new entrant to cope up with this high investment.
Present co-operative fertilizer (like KRIBHCO and IFFCO) industries captured almost full
rural market getting fertilizer subsidies from government so it is difficult for new entrants to
maintain low price with high production cost.
India does not have potential rock phosphate reserve; it is completely dependent on import of
either rock phosphate or phosphoric acid or Di Ammonium Phosphate.
Bargaining Power of Customers (Medium):-
Spectrum of substitutes available to the farmers is large
Farmers can impose pressure on the government to provide more subsidies.
India is having different climatic conditions over different areas, so all over the year there is
high demand for fertilizers from different localities.
Very high demand & low productivity.
Lack of infrastructure & supply chain for rural India.
Threat of Substitutes(Medium):-
Bio-fertilizers
Manures
E.g. FYM, cattle dung
Organic Fertilizer
Green Manure
E.g. Vegetable and Household waste
 Vermin-compost
 E.g. Roundworms
Fertilizers given through leaves provided by pesticides, herbicides companies.

16
Power of Suppliers (Low) :-
Main source of the raw material for fertilizers production are the natural products.
For production of phosphatic fertilizers, in India there are very few sources of rock
phosphate & phosphoric acid available so this production completely dependent on
import of rock phosphate.
Production of fertilizers requires lot of energy supply so it is completely dependent
on the private energy suppliers.
For production of MOP, there is no raw material available within the country so it
has to import completely.
Competitive Rivalry (High):-
Major market captured by public & co-operative companies.
Private companies trying to capture rural market.
Incentive competitiveness between private and public players.
Different suppliers of raw material used by different companies‟ leads to cost
competitiveness.
Companies come up with different products such as completely water soluble
fertilizers, fertilizers applied through drip and micro sprinkler, fertilizers with
micro nutrients so by use these fertilizers less wastage & more efficiency of
fertilizers increases.
Improved techniques & high yielding varieties which require less fertilizers used
by farmers so high competition for sale between different companies.

17
Porter’s Five Force Model for IT Sector
Power of Buyers:-
The Indian IT sector has a large numbers of players and few entry barriers for new entrants, Thus,
the buyer has many options to choose from and can clearly articulate their needs. However, the
bigger companies also enjoy the advantage of switching costs. It means that once a particular client
selects a particular company as its partner, it becomes dependent on the company for all its upgrades
and technology requirements making it difficult for the client to switch. Thus, the buyers have a
Medium bargaining leverage.
Power of Supplier:-
Knowledgeable human resource is the largest requirement for the IT sector. Large supply of this
human resource, at low cost is available from around the world. Also, a lot of matured education and
training is easily available. As there exist many competitive suppliers in the market the supplier has
very Low or No power in IT sector.
Competitive Rivalry:-
No huge capital investment is required to start a new company, leading to very large numbers of
small and medium size companies. It is becoming increasing difficult for players to differentiate
which has led to a decrease in margins. However, a few top niche players still enjoy pricing power.
Thus the competition in the sector is High.
Availability of Substitutes:-
Certain countries e.g. China, Korea, Taiwan, Israel have started to develop an environment for
growth of IT sector and emerging as suppliers of these products and services. Indian companies need
to continuously innovate to have an edge over the others. Thus availability of substitutes is Medium.
Threat of New Entrant:-
Set up cost is almost negligible. Further the government policies also promote the entrepreneurs by
providing benefits in terms of tax holidays and building software technology parks. Apart from this
there are many venture capitalists that are ready to fund new starts ups enabling them to scale up
with increased demand and higher margins the threat of new entrant is High.

Introduction and Background
Reason for choosing this topic:-
There is increase in the technology day by day. E-procurement is the internet based technology
which helps in participating and evaluating the performance and helping in the online process. The
process now a day is changing manually too electronically and is very much beneficial for the
organization, government and for the customer. It‘s a new technology in the production sector that is
why I have chosen this topic to have a detailed study and each and every process of the system.
E-Procurement and Vendor Management
What is E-Procurement?
E-Procurement is a word which is made from two words, E stands for Electronic and 2 words is
Procurement.
Procurement is the acquisition of goods, services or works from an external source. It is favourable
that the goods, services or works are appropriate and that they are procured at the best
possible cost to meet the needs of the purchaser in terms of quality and quantity, time, and location.
Corporations and public bodies often define processes intended to promote fair and open
competition for their business while minimizing exposure to fraud and collusion.

Procurement Systems
Another common procurement issue is the timing of purchases. Just-in-time is a system of timing the
purchases of consumables so as to keep inventory costs low. Just-in-time is commonly used by
Japanese companies but widely adopted by many global manufacturers from the 1990s onwards.
Typically a framework agreement setting terms and price is created between a supplier and
purchaser, and specific orders are then called-off as required.
Public Key Infrastructure
Scope And Meaning of PKI
A public-key infrastructure (PKI) is a set of hardware, software, people, policies, and procedures
needed to create, manage, distribute, use, store, and revoke digital certificates.
A public-key infrastructure (PKI) is a system for the creation, storage, and distribution of digital
certificates which are used to verify that a particular public key belongs to a certain entity. The PKI
creates digital certificates which map public keys to entities, securely stores these certificates in a
central repository, and revokes them if needed.
Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizer & Chemical LTD
Promoted By Government of Gujarat
69
A PKI consists of
 A certificate authority (CA) that both issues and verifies the digital certificates.
 A registration authority which verifies the identity of users requesting information from the
CA
 A central directory—i.e. a secure location in which to store and index keys.
 A certificate management system
 A certificate policy.
As licensed Certifying Authority, (n)Code Solutions issues Digital Certificates to individuals and
organizations to ensure Privacy and Integrity as well as establish Authenticity over the net for any
transactions like e mail, e tendering, e commerce, e governance and scores of others
E-Procurement
E-Procurement is the electronic B2B (or B2C or B2G) sale and purchase of goods and services. The
medium used might be the Internet or any other media like EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) and
Enterprise Integrations (formerly known as EAI).
E-procurement (electronic procurement ), sometimes also known as supplier exchange) is the
business-to-business or business-to-consumer or business-to-government purchase and sale of
supplies, work, and services through the Internet as well as other information and networking
systems, such as electronic data interchange and enterprise resource planning.
The e-procurement value chain consists of indent management, E-Tendering, E-Auctioning, vendor
management, catalogue management, Purchase Order Integration, Order Status, Ship Notice, E-
Invoicing, E-Payment, and contract management. Indent management is the workflow involved in
the preparation of tenders. This part of the value chain is optional, with individual procuring
departments defining their indenting process. In works procurement, administrative approval and
technical sanction are obtained in electronic format. In goods procurement, indent generation activity
is done online.

E-Procurement Cycle
GNFC is Providing E-Procurement services like E-Tendering and E-Auctioning
Who needs this solution?
Many businesses turn to e-Procurement systems to control, simplify and automate the purchase of
goods and services from multiple suppliers. Companies deploying e-procurement are able to control
inventories more effectively, reduce purchasing overheads, reduce or remove brokerage costs as well
as improve manufacturing cycles.
The key is to find the right products from the right supplier, at the right time and at the most
competitive price, as well as to ensure the appropriate responsiveness and service levels for your
business purchasing needs. Often a company might find itself a niche with a proven set of customers
and encourage others in
a similar field to join them on-line as the business case is proven. Concurrently they may find their
client base grows with more customers keen to capitalize on the benefits as savings and efficiencies
become obvious. Medium to large sized organizations and government departments that regularly
purchase the same products from a limited number of companies are ideal candidates for e-
Procurement.

Types of products and services:-
There are several approaches to e-Procurement taken by different vendors to manage supplier
relationships. Some of these are catalogue and transaction-based e-Procurement products and that
support supplier-relationship management strategies, which require strategic partnerships and
integration with third-party products.
The service can also be approached from an asset-management angle geared for maintenance and
repair operations. This establishes proper schedules and creates in-house availability of products and
assets that can be tracked. Over a period of time, this helps the enterprise‘s e-Procurement
capabilities to evolve.
In an environment where e-Procurement becomes an integral part of the supply chain a lot more
commitment from the involved partners is required. This is due to the more complex nature ofB2B
relationships that need to be managed along with additional technology and capabilities .Best of
breed e-Procurement systems should have the ability to locate suppliers, evaluate their offerings, and
make comparisons. They also need to ensure that the proper contractual terms are applied to each
order.
Procurement in the Indian context:-
The purpose of e-Procurement is to reduce costs as well as improve operational efficiency in the
procurement process. While this has happened to a large extent in the US and in European markets,
e-Procurement still has a long way to go in developing nations like India. Some of the challenges
faced here are
 The lack of IT infrastructure.
 Sourcing goods through online (internet/website) channels is relatively unheard of despite
relatively high levels of computerization; many organizations find it easier to do business
over the telephone.
 Limited Internet and broadband penetration especially in rural areas, where companies need
to ensure an uninterrupted connection.
These are some of the areas of opportunities for e-Procurement facilitator companies to offer their
solutions over channels other than the Internet – perhaps using telecom or as technology evolve, over
television networks.
Several companies in India have stepped in to make e-Procurement easier, an example being NIIT
Technologies. Their product Procure Easy is, in their words - ―a unique end-to-end web based
solution that enables enterprises to streamline their procurement processes through the entire value
chain of the sourcing process.‖

E-Procurement for the Indian Government:-
Over the last few years, several State Governments and Public Sector Undertakings in India have
begun to aggressively campaign for e-Procurement. Some state governments like those of Andhra
Pradesh and Gujarat have already initiated e-Procurement under a larger umbrella program of e-
Governance.
Using e-Procurement these governments have been able to save on procurement of goods and
services. There is also a goodwill factor involved and a definite improvement in the governments
‗image and transparency. Included in these benefits are cost reduction, improved decision making,
process efficiency, price and supplier-behavior forecasting, and supplier-performance monitoring
which ultimately leads to Vendor rationalization and standardization.
Certain Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) like the Oil and Natural Gas Commission (ONGC),
Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) have all taken up e-
Procurement initiatives to rationalize the $30 - $40 billion purchases they make every year.
The Future of e-Procurement
E-Procurement has been in existence for a substantial period. To achieve cost and time
Efficiency, several enterprises and governments now consider it a crucial cog in the wheel of their
procurement processes. With recessionary winds blowing across the globe and a growing need to
rationalize spends while sustaining optimum levels of productivity, enterprises big and small will
further leverage the e-Procurement model to achieve greater savings and deliver enhanced value.
Advances in Internet and media technologies, now require a revisit of the traditional methods of e-
Procurement. As the current market conditions tighten, e-Procurement facilitator companies need to
reinvent them and devise newer methods, so as to achieve far greater reach with greater process
simplicity and usability.
How the e-Procurement proved to be the best in the world of Globalization?
 Enhanced transparency in Procurement lifecycles
 Anytime Availability
 Better administration and operations.

Vendor Management
A vendor management system (VMS) is an Internet-enabled, often Web-based application that acts
as a mechanism for business to manage and procure staffing services – temporary, and, in some
cases, permanent placement services – as well as outside contract or contingent labour. Typical
features of a VMS application include order distribution, consolidated billing and significant
enhancements in reporting capability that outperforms manual systems and processes
GNFC is using a management software provider which is working on SAP which is known SAP
(Vendor Management System is working DOT NET) language which is having all the information
about the vendor from last 8 years and tracks all the records of the department from these software
all the vendor has been selected and according to their performance they are selected.
Supplier Evaluation Methods:-
 The measure of a supplier's value is expressed in its performance record.
 In recent years buyers have emphasized the setting of objective standards and procedures for
evaluating and comparing existing suppliers.
 The least precise evaluation technique is the categorical method.
 It relies heavily on the experience and ability of the individual buyer1
Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizer & Chemical LTD
Promoted By Government of Gujarat
75
The Categorical Method:-
 Basically, it is a procedure whereby the buyer relies on a historical record of supplier
performance.
 Initially, a list of evaluation criteria is identified.
 The buyer then assigns a grade to each supplier, for each criterion, based on past experience.
 A simple marking system of plus, minus, and neutral grades may be used.
 Evaluation lists are often provided to other departments involved, such as quality control,
engineering, production, and receiving.
The Categorical Method:-
 Vendors with composite high or low ratings are noted, and future supply decisions are
influenced by them.
 Although this system is non-quantitative, it is a means of keeping systematic records of
performance.
 It is also inexpensive and requires a minimum of performance data.
 However, the process relies heavily on the memory and judgment of the individuals
providing the ratings, and the ratings may become routinely performed without much critical
thought
The Weighted Point Method
 Weighted-point method quantifies the evaluation criteria.
 A number of evaluation factors can be included, and their relative weights can be expressed
in numerical terms so that a composite performance index can be determined and supplier
comparisons made.
 For example, following evaluation criteria have been chosen: quality of shipments, accuracy
of delivery, and price.
 Assuming that quality and delivery are the most significant, a point rating system such as the
following might be used: quality, 40 points; delivery, 40 points, and price, 20 points.
Weighted Point Method
 The advantage of the weighted-point plan is that a number of evaluation factors can be used
with relative weights corresponding to the needs of the firm, thereby minimizing subjective
evaluation.
 If this individually assigned plan is used in conjunction with the categorical method,
suppliers can be evaluated on a quantifiable basis and many of the intangible aspects of
service can still be considered.
The Cost-Ratio Method
 The cost-ratio method relates all identifiable purchasing costs to the value of the shipments
received from the respective suppliers.
 The higher the ratio of costs to shipments, the lower the rating for that supplier.
Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizer & Chemical LTD
Promoted By Government of Gujarat
76
 What cost categories are used depends on the products involved.
 Quality, delivery, service, and price are the overall categories, and respective costs are
accumulated for each.
For example, costs associated with quality normally include:-
 The costs of unusual visits to a vendor's plants,
 Unusual inspection costs of incoming shipments, and
GNFC is using weighted average method for vendor selection and based on that they select their
vendors, vendors play an important key role for GNFC both as purchasing and distributing. Based on
the 3 criteria
The vendor management system is an online system which includes so many features and also
reduced the work time and the process is well systematic and design according to the department
needs and customer wants.

Findings
 Security- one of the major reasons for transfer to the new regime of E-tendering is the
higher degree of security it provides. The maintenance and even enhancement of the system
to make it as fool proof as possible is necessary. And the same time, such enhancements
should be communicated to the stakeholders.
 Transparency- E-tendering is seen as a step to remove underhanded activities like
cartelization, false non-serious bidders etc. Therefore it is very important that the process
remains transparent.
 Corruption- The process has reduced around 80 % corruption in the Gujarat state. All the
state governments are in process to adopt the process. Reduction in the corruption in the
government offices
 Economic cost- with increasing competition, prices have to be competitive. And these
would decrease the cost also.
 Usage of latest technologies- The government is using latest technologies which are
helpful for customer in many ways. The better transparency has been created with these new
systems.
 Ease of Operations- The system has to be easy to operate. This is because we are talking
of government departments, which generally have inertia to change. A difficult to operate
system would increase this inertia further.
Suggestions
 Make the online payment process easy
 Possible automation of technical evaluation
 Technology Audit should be done Every month with an External auditors
 Continuous improvements at software and process level from time to time
 Availability of tender Formatting Features

Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizer & Chemical LTD Promoted By Government of Gujarat 6 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers and Chemical (GNFC) is promoted by Government of Gujarat through GIIC(Gujarat Industrial Investment Corporation) and were established in the year 1976, which is one of the ―NAVRATNA‖ companies of Gujarat State. GNFC established itself firmly with diversified product portfolio from its initial Fertilizer business to Chemical and then on to Information Technology. The project is about ―A Study of E-Procurement and Vendor Management applied by GNFC.‖ The reason for choosing these topic is to study how new technologies are helping companies in their operations and making their business profitable. Now a day‘s company is looking forward to use new technologies and expand their business. Systematized study requires proper planning and implementation of the same, this report explains the process of Vendor Management and their evaluation / selection process, GNFC is a large scale industry so it‘s requires large quantity raw materials and requires a good vendors or dealer so the product is reached to the end user on time. E-Procurement makes it possible to automate buying and selling over the internet. Typically an e-Procurement-enabled website will have product comparisons across vendors and various processes like tendering, auctioning, vendor management, and catalogue and contract management. High-end e-procurement solutions allow organizations to define their own processes in the form of workflows - thus utilizing concepts of business process modelling. And understanding how the E-procurement process is adopted by GNFC. And E- procurement is very useful for each and every Government and Companies. It helps to provide a transparency, using of proper technologies.

  • 10. Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizer & Chemical LTD Promoted By Government of Gujarat 10 INDIAN AGRICULTURE SECTOR Indian Agriculture is one of the most important sectors in the economy of the country. Agriculture in itself contributes more than 18.5 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product of the country and around 60 per cent people of India are dependent on this sector. The monsoon also has a very significant impact on the Indian agriculture. Because of the shortage of irrigation system in Indian agriculture most of the farmers depend highly on rainfalls which is uncertain. The amount of rain determines the nature of the crops and also the production. Indian agriculture in the majority of the state is looked after by the State Governments rather than the Central Government. Indian farmers don‘t get a sufficient supply of chemical fertilizer for agriculture. The main objective of the fertilizer industry is to ensure the supply of primary and secondary nutrients in the required quantities. Indian Fertilizer Industry:- India is primarily an agriculture based economy. The agricultural sector and its other associated spheres provide employment to a large section of the country's population and contribute about 25% to the GDP. The Indian Fertilizer Industry is one of the allied sectors of the agricultural sphere. India has emerged as the third largest producer of nitrogenous fertilizers. The adoption of back to back Five Year plans has paved the way for self-sufficiency in the production of food grains. In fact production has gone up to an extent that there is scope for the export of food grains. This surplus has been facilitated by the use of chemical fertilizers. Today, India stands as the third largest fertilizer consumer and producer of the world. It has been observed that the subsidies on Indian fertilizer have been rising at a constant rate. This is due to the rise in the cost of production and the inability of the government to raise the maximum retail price of the fertilizers. The increase in the production of fertilizers and its consumption acts as a major contributor to overall agricultural development. Contribution of Fertilizer industry in the Indian Economy: Fertilizer industry has a significant good impact on the development of the Indian agriculture sector. The following points may reflect its contribution. 1. Agricultural development: With the development of fertilizer industry, Indian agricultural development has been made possible. It has played a vital role in the green revolution.
  • 11. Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizer & Chemical LTD Promoted By Government of Gujarat 11 2. Capital Investment: Fertilizer industry today has more than Rs. 5700 Cr investment and has become one of the important industries of the economy. 3. Corporate Development: In the last 30-40 years this industry has become a structured industry. It has made many joint ventures, multinationals and co-operatives which is one of the unique characteristic of this industry development in the nation. 4. Regional development: Gujarat, Maharashtra, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra, Assam, Bengal, Rajasthan, Bihar are the states who have many plants of fertilizers. [These states‘ economy has a high impact of fertilizer units.] 5. Employments: This industry has provided shelter to 3.5 lakh families in the last fifty years directly and a number of supporting industry during the last three decades. Investment in the fertilizer sector:- The fertilizer sector attracted huge investment in the past, particularly between mid-70‘s and 90‘s. However, there was hardly any investment during the 10th Plan. The total investment in the fertilizer sector by the end of 2005-06 was Rs.25, 923 crores. With the accelerated growth in the Indian economy, other sectors have high rates of return on investment, but the fertilizer sector has failed to attract more investment due to low returns. To increase the capacity of urea by about 12 million tonnes to a total of 31.5 million tonnes by 2011-12, India will need to invest at least Rs.36, 000 crores in the sector at current capital costs. Fertilizer Industry in India has mainly five sick units. They are badly in need of Coal /Gas/LPG. If these units get raw material they will contribute to the agricultural sector of the nation. These sick units include HFC, FCI, MFL, FACT and PPCL. Which are located in the Eastern Region of the country [will result in some parity in the creation of production capacity of urea in the states of Bihar, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Orissa, which do not have any urea plant at present]. It is envisaged that revival of these closed urea units in Eastern India will add an additional urea capacity of 50 LMT per annum. The reasons for the sickness of FACT are mainly that out-dated technology of the plant, high energy consumption norms, large manpower and high fixed costs of the new ammonia plant (900 MTPD)
  • 12. Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizer & Chemical LTD Promoted By Government of Gujarat 12 INDIAN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SECTOR The Indian information technology sector continues to be one of the sunshine sectors of the Indian economy showing rapid growth and promise. The information technology industry in India has gained a brand identity as a knowledge economy due to its IT and ITES (IT Enabled Services) sector. The information technology industry has become the most robust industries in the world. IT, more than any other industry or economic fact, has an increased productivity, particularly in the developed world, and therefore is a key driver of global economic growth. Economies of scale and insatiable demand from both consumers and enterprises characterize this rapidly growing sector. Economies of scale for the information technology industry are high. Unlike other common industries, the IT sector is knowledge –based. Efficient utilization of skilled labour forces in the It sector can help an economy achieve a rapid pace of economic growth. The IT industry helps many other sectors in the growth process of the economy including the services and manufacturing sectors. The major segments of the industry are IT Services, Engineering Services, R&D Products, and BPO Services. Much of the activity is centred on service offerings in Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI), Hi-Tech and Telecom, Manufacturing, and Retail. ―India's top IT service providers‖ are Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys, Cognizant, Wipro, and HCL Technologies. These IT service providers are readying plans to gain a bigger share of their largest market, US, by aggressively chasing contracts being served by multinationals rivals. The Indian top IT city is as Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Delhi, Mumbai, and Ahmedabad. Bangalore is considered as Silicon Valley of India because it is leading IT exporter Information technology and the Hardware and Software associated with the IT industry, are an integral part of nearly every major global industry. Both software development and the hardware involved in the IT industry include everything from computer systems and, to the design, implementation, study and development of IT and management systems. Owing to its easy accessibility and the wide range of IT products available, the demand for the IT services has increased substantially over the years. The IT sector has emerged as a major global source of both growth and employment. The IT industry can serve as a medium of E-governance, as it assures easy accessibility to information. The use of information in the services sector improves operational efficiency and adds to transparency.it also serves as a medium of skill formation. Information technology (IT) is defined as the design, development, implementation and management of computer-based information systems, particularly software application and computer hardware Today, it has grown to cover most aspects of computing and technology.
  • 13. Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizer & Chemical LTD Promoted By Government of Gujarat 13 IT professionals perform a variety of duties ranging from data management, networking, engineering computer hardware, databases design, to the management and administration of entire systems. With the already high penetration of conventional personal computer and network technology, coupled with the growing convergence of information, communication and entertainment, the industry is now keenly focused on the integration with other technologies such as mobile phones, automobile and televisions etc., thereby increasing the demand for such jobs. The largest firms globally include IBM, HP, DELL, and MICROSOFT. The strong demand for electronics hardware and software in India has been fuelled by a variety of drivers including the high growth rate of the economy, emergence of a vast domestic market catering to the new generation of young consumers, a thriving middleclass populace with increasing disposable incomes and a relatively low cost work force having advanced technical skills. Indeed, the government has also identified growth of this sector as a thrust area as there remains great expectation for significant growth. The Indian IT sector has also built a strong reputation for its high standards of software development ability, service quality and information security in the foreign market which has been acknowledged globally and has helped enhance buyer confidence. The industry continues its drive to set global benchmarks in quality and information security through a combination of provider and industry level initiatives and strengthening the overall frame works, creating awareness wider adoption of standards and beat practice. According to National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM) ―IT industry has played a key role in putting India on the global map. The IT –BPO sector has become one of the most significant growth catalysts for the Indian economy. In addition to fuelling India‘s economy, this industry is also positively influencing the lives of its people through an active direct and indirect contribution to various socio-economic parameters such as employment, standard of living and diversity. The industry has played a significant role in transforming India‘s image from a slow moving bureaucratic economy to a land of innovative entrepreneurs and a global player in providing world class technology solutions and business services‖. India is preferred for companies looking off shore their IT and back office functions .it also retains its low-cost advantage and is financially attractive location when viewed in combination with the business environment it offers and the availability of skilled people. .
  • 14. Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizer & Chemical LTD Promoted By Government of Gujarat 14 Porter’s Five Forces Model Assessing the Balance of Power in a Business Situation:-
  • 15. Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizer & Chemical LTD Promoted By Government of Gujarat 15 Porter’s 5 Force Model Analysis Porter’s Five Force Model for Fertilizer Industry Bargaining Power of Suppliers:- Threat of New Entrants (Moderate) Potential (Reliance, Adani, Laxmi Niwas Mittal etc.) Potential entrants are retailers like GODREJ ADHAR and HARAYALI. Processing of the raw material requires very large machinery & high processing cost, so it is not easy for new entrant to cope up with this high investment. Present co-operative fertilizer (like KRIBHCO and IFFCO) industries captured almost full rural market getting fertilizer subsidies from government so it is difficult for new entrants to maintain low price with high production cost. India does not have potential rock phosphate reserve; it is completely dependent on import of either rock phosphate or phosphoric acid or Di Ammonium Phosphate. Bargaining Power of Customers (Medium):- Spectrum of substitutes available to the farmers is large Farmers can impose pressure on the government to provide more subsidies. India is having different climatic conditions over different areas, so all over the year there is high demand for fertilizers from different localities. Very high demand & low productivity. Lack of infrastructure & supply chain for rural India. Threat of Substitutes(Medium):- Bio-fertilizers Manures E.g. FYM, cattle dung Organic Fertilizer Green Manure E.g. Vegetable and Household waste  Vermin-compost  E.g. Roundworms Fertilizers given through leaves provided by pesticides, herbicides companies.
  • 16. Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizer & Chemical LTD Promoted By Government of Gujarat 16 Power of Suppliers (Low) :- Main source of the raw material for fertilizers production are the natural products. For production of phosphatic fertilizers, in India there are very few sources of rock phosphate & phosphoric acid available so this production completely dependent on import of rock phosphate. Production of fertilizers requires lot of energy supply so it is completely dependent on the private energy suppliers. For production of MOP, there is no raw material available within the country so it has to import completely. Competitive Rivalry (High):- Major market captured by public & co-operative companies. Private companies trying to capture rural market. Incentive competitiveness between private and public players. Different suppliers of raw material used by different companies‟ leads to cost competitiveness. Companies come up with different products such as completely water soluble fertilizers, fertilizers applied through drip and micro sprinkler, fertilizers with micro nutrients so by use these fertilizers less wastage & more efficiency of fertilizers increases. Improved techniques & high yielding varieties which require less fertilizers used by farmers so high competition for sale between different companies.
  • 17. Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizer & Chemical LTD Promoted By Government of Gujarat 17 Porter’s Five Force Model for IT Sector Power of Buyers:- The Indian IT sector has a large numbers of players and few entry barriers for new entrants, Thus, the buyer has many options to choose from and can clearly articulate their needs. However, the bigger companies also enjoy the advantage of switching costs. It means that once a particular client selects a particular company as its partner, it becomes dependent on the company for all its upgrades and technology requirements making it difficult for the client to switch. Thus, the buyers have a Medium bargaining leverage. Power of Supplier:- Knowledgeable human resource is the largest requirement for the IT sector. Large supply of this human resource, at low cost is available from around the world. Also, a lot of matured education and training is easily available. As there exist many competitive suppliers in the market the supplier has very Low or No power in IT sector. Competitive Rivalry:- No huge capital investment is required to start a new company, leading to very large numbers of small and medium size companies. It is becoming increasing difficult for players to differentiate which has led to a decrease in margins. However, a few top niche players still enjoy pricing power. Thus the competition in the sector is High. Availability of Substitutes:- Certain countries e.g. China, Korea, Taiwan, Israel have started to develop an environment for growth of IT sector and emerging as suppliers of these products and services. Indian companies need to continuously innovate to have an edge over the others. Thus availability of substitutes is Medium. Threat of New Entrant:- Set up cost is almost negligible. Further the government policies also promote the entrepreneurs by providing benefits in terms of tax holidays and building software technology parks. Apart from this there are many venture capitalists that are ready to fund new starts ups enabling them to scale up with increased demand and higher margins the threat of new entrant is High.

  • 67. Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizer & Chemical LTD Promoted By Government of Gujarat 67 Introduction and Background Reason for choosing this topic:- There is increase in the technology day by day. E-procurement is the internet based technology which helps in participating and evaluating the performance and helping in the online process. The process now a day is changing manually too electronically and is very much beneficial for the organization, government and for the customer. It‘s a new technology in the production sector that is why I have chosen this topic to have a detailed study and each and every process of the system. E-Procurement and Vendor Management What is E-Procurement? E-Procurement is a word which is made from two words, E stands for Electronic and 2 words is Procurement. Procurement is the acquisition of goods, services or works from an external source. It is favourable that the goods, services or works are appropriate and that they are procured at the best possible cost to meet the needs of the purchaser in terms of quality and quantity, time, and location. Corporations and public bodies often define processes intended to promote fair and open competition for their business while minimizing exposure to fraud and collusion.

Just-in-time is a system of timing the purchases of consumables so as to keep inventory costs low. Just-in-time is commonly used by Japanese companies but widely adopted by many global manufacturers from the 1990s onwards. Typically a framework agreement setting terms and price is created between a supplier and purchaser, and specific orders are then called-off as required. Public Key Infrastructure Scope And Meaning of PKI A public-key infrastructure (PKI) is a set of hardware, software, people, policies, and procedures needed to create, manage, distribute, use, store, and revoke digital certificates. A public-key infrastructure (PKI) is a system for the creation, storage, and distribution of digital certificates which are used to verify that a particular public key belongs to a certain entity. The PKI creates digital certificates which map public keys to entities, securely stores these certificates in a central repository, and revokes them if needed.

The medium used might be the Internet or any other media like EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) and Enterprise Integrations (formerly known as EAI). E-procurement (electronic procurement ), sometimes also known as supplier exchange) is the business-to-business or business-to-consumer or business-to-government purchase and sale of supplies, work, and services through the Internet as well as other information and networking systems, such as electronic data interchange and enterprise resource planning. The e-procurement value chain consists of indent management, E-Tendering, E-Auctioning, vendor management, catalogue management, Purchase Order Integration, Order Status, Ship Notice, E- Invoicing, E-Payment, and contract management. Indent management is the workflow involved in the preparation of tenders. This part of the value chain is optional, with individual procuring departments defining their indenting process. In works procurement, administrative approval and technical sanction are obtained in electronic format. In goods procurement, indent generation activity is done online.

Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizer & Chemical LTD Promoted By Government of Gujarat 70 E-Procurement Cycle GNFC is Providing E-Procurement services like E-Tendering and E-Auctioning Who needs this solution? Many businesses turn to e-Procurement systems to control, simplify and automate the purchase of goods and services from multiple suppliers. Companies deploying e-procurement are able to control inventories more effectively, reduce purchasing overheads, reduce or remove brokerage costs as well as improve manufacturing cycles. The key is to find the right products from the right supplier, at the right time and at the most competitive price, as well as to ensure the appropriate responsiveness and service levels for your business purchasing needs. Often a company might find itself a niche with a proven set of customers and encourage others in a similar field to join them on-line as the business case is proven. Concurrently they may find their client base grows with more customers keen to capitalize on the benefits as savings and efficiencies become obvious. Medium to large sized organizations and government departments that regularly purchase the same products from a limited number of companies are ideal candidates for e- Procurement.
  • 71. Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizer & Chemical LTD Promoted By Government of Gujarat 71 Types of products and services:- There are several approaches to e-Procurement taken by different vendors to manage supplier relationships. Some of these are catalogue and transaction-based e-Procurement products and that support supplier-relationship management strategies, which require strategic partnerships and integration with third-party products. The service can also be approached from an asset-management angle geared for maintenance and repair operations. This establishes proper schedules and creates in-house availability of products and assets that can be tracked. Over a period of time, this helps the enterprise‘s e-Procurement capabilities to evolve. In an environment where e-Procurement becomes an integral part of the supply chain a lot more commitment from the involved partners is required. This is due to the more complex nature ofB2B relationships that need to be managed along with additional technology and capabilities .Best of breed e-Procurement systems should have the ability to locate suppliers, evaluate their offerings, and make comparisons. They also need to ensure that the proper contractual terms are applied to each order. Procurement in the Indian context:- The purpose of e-Procurement is to reduce costs as well as improve operational efficiency in the procurement process. While this has happened to a large extent in the US and in European markets, e-Procurement still has a long way to go in developing nations like India. Some of the challenges faced here are  The lack of IT infrastructure.  Sourcing goods through online (internet/website) channels is relatively unheard of despite relatively high levels of computerization; many organizations find it easier to do business over the telephone.  Limited Internet and broadband penetration especially in rural areas, where companies need to ensure an uninterrupted connection. These are some of the areas of opportunities for e-Procurement facilitator companies to offer their solutions over channels other than the Internet – perhaps using telecom or as technology evolve, over television networks. Several companies in India have stepped in to make e-Procurement easier, an example being NIIT Technologies. Their product Procure Easy is, in their words - ―a unique end-to-end web based solution that enables enterprises to streamline their procurement processes through the entire value chain of the sourcing process.‖
  • 72. Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizer & Chemical LTD Promoted By Government of Gujarat 72 E-Procurement for the Indian Government:- Over the last few years, several State Governments and Public Sector Undertakings in India have begun to aggressively campaign for e-Procurement. Some state governments like those of Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat have already initiated e-Procurement under a larger umbrella program of e- Governance. Using e-Procurement these governments have been able to save on procurement of goods and services. There is also a goodwill factor involved and a definite improvement in the governments ‗image and transparency. Included in these benefits are cost reduction, improved decision making, process efficiency, price and supplier-behavior forecasting, and supplier-performance monitoring which ultimately leads to Vendor rationalization and standardization. Certain Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) like the Oil and Natural Gas Commission (ONGC), Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) have all taken up e- Procurement initiatives to rationalize the $30 - $40 billion purchases they make every year. The Future of e-Procurement E-Procurement has been in existence for a substantial period. To achieve cost and time Efficiency, several enterprises and governments now consider it a crucial cog in the wheel of their procurement processes. With recessionary winds blowing across the globe and a growing need to rationalize spends while sustaining optimum levels of productivity, enterprises big and small will further leverage the e-Procurement model to achieve greater savings and deliver enhanced value. Advances in Internet and media technologies, now require a revisit of the traditional methods of e- Procurement. As the current market conditions tighten, e-Procurement facilitator companies need to reinvent them and devise newer methods, so as to achieve far greater reach with greater process simplicity and usability. How the e-Procurement proved to be the best in the world of Globalization?  Enhanced transparency in Procurement lifecycles  Anytime Availability  Better administration and operations.

  • 74. Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizer & Chemical LTD Promoted By Government of Gujarat 74 Vendor Management A vendor management system (VMS) is an Internet-enabled, often Web-based application that acts as a mechanism for business to manage and procure staffing services – temporary, and, in some cases, permanent placement services – as well as outside contract or contingent labour. Typical features of a VMS application include order distribution, consolidated billing and significant enhancements in reporting capability that outperforms manual systems and processes GNFC is using a management software provider which is working on SAP which is known SAP (Vendor Management System is working DOT NET) language which is having all the information about the vendor from last 8 years and tracks all the records of the department from these software all the vendor has been selected and according to their performance they are selected. Supplier Evaluation Methods:-  The measure of a supplier's value is expressed in its performance record.  In recent years buyers have emphasized the setting of objective standards and procedures for evaluating and comparing existing suppliers.  The least precise evaluation technique is the categorical method.  It relies heavily on the experience and ability of the individual buyer1
  • 75. Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizer & Chemical LTD Promoted By Government of Gujarat 75 The Categorical Method:-  Basically, it is a procedure whereby the buyer relies on a historical record of supplier performance.  Initially, a list of evaluation criteria is identified.  The buyer then assigns a grade to each supplier, for each criterion, based on past experience.  A simple marking system of plus, minus, and neutral grades may be used.  Evaluation lists are often provided to other departments involved, such as quality control, engineering, production, and receiving. The Categorical Method:-  Vendors with composite high or low ratings are noted, and future supply decisions are influenced by them.  Although this system is non-quantitative, it is a means of keeping systematic records of performance.  It is also inexpensive and requires a minimum of performance data.  However, the process relies heavily on the memory and judgment of the individuals providing the ratings, and the ratings may become routinely performed without much critical thought The Weighted Point Method  Weighted-point method quantifies the evaluation criteria.  A number of evaluation factors can be included, and their relative weights can be expressed in numerical terms so that a composite performance index can be determined and supplier comparisons made.  For example, following evaluation criteria have been chosen: quality of shipments, accuracy of delivery, and price.  Assuming that quality and delivery are the most significant, a point rating system such as the following might be used: quality, 40 points; delivery, 40 points, and price, 20 points. Weighted Point Method  The advantage of the weighted-point plan is that a number of evaluation factors can be used with relative weights corresponding to the needs of the firm, thereby minimizing subjective evaluation.  If this individually assigned plan is used in conjunction with the categorical method, suppliers can be evaluated on a quantifiable basis and many of the intangible aspects of service can still be considered. The Cost-Ratio Method  The cost-ratio method relates all identifiable purchasing costs to the value of the shipments received from the respective suppliers.  The higher the ratio of costs to shipments, the lower the rating for that supplier.
  • 76. Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizer & Chemical LTD Promoted By Government of Gujarat 76  What cost categories are used depends on the products involved.  Quality, delivery, service, and price are the overall categories, and respective costs are accumulated for each. For example, costs associated with quality normally include:-  The costs of unusual visits to a vendor's plants,  Unusual inspection costs of incoming shipments, and GNFC is using weighted average method for vendor selection and based on that they select their vendors, vendors play an important key role for GNFC both as purchasing and distributing. Based on the 3 criteria The vendor management system is an online system which includes so many features and also reduced the work time and the process is well systematic and design according to the department needs and customer wants.

Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizer & Chemical LTD Promoted By Government of Gujarat 85 Findings  Security- one of the major reasons for transfer to the new regime of E-tendering is the higher degree of security it provides. The maintenance and even enhancement of the system to make it as fool proof as possible is necessary. And the same time, such enhancements should be communicated to the stakeholders.  Transparency- E-tendering is seen as a step to remove underhanded activities like cartelization, false non-serious bidders etc. Therefore it is very important that the process remains transparent.  Corruption- The process has reduced around 80 % corruption in the Gujarat state. All the state governments are in process to adopt the process. Reduction in the corruption in the government offices  Economic cost- with increasing competition, prices have to be competitive. And these would decrease the cost also.  Usage of latest technologies- The government is using latest technologies which are helpful for customer in many ways. The better transparency has been created with these new systems.  Ease of Operations- The system has to be easy to operate. This is because we are talking of government departments, which generally have inertia to change. A difficult to operate system would increase this inertia further. Suggestions  Make the online payment process easy  Possible automation of technical evaluation  Technology Audit should be done Every month with an External auditors  Continuous improvements at software and process level from time to time  Availability of tender Formatting Features
