(i) To reduce delay, appropriate time frame for each stage of procurement should be prescribed by the Department. Such a time frame will also make the concerned purchase officials more alert.
(ii) To minimise the time needed for decision making and placement of contract, every Department, with the approval of the competent authority, may delegate, wherever necessary, appropriate purchasing powers to the lower functionaries.
(iii) The Departments should ensure placement of contract within the original validity of the bids. Extension of bid validity must be discouraged and resorted to only in exceptional circumstances.
(iv) The designated State Purchase Organisation(s) should bring into the rate contract system more and more common user items which are frequently needed in bulk by various Government Departments.
