1.  Supply of manpower for IRDAI, New Delhi Regional Office

 

This agenda was discussed in the 62nd meeting of Procurement Committee held on 22nd January 2021 and it was decided that the Administration Department will request the vendors to confirm the statutory payments including basic rates prescribed by Labour Department, Gazette Notification, NCT of Delhi will be paid by them, where the rates quoted are lower than the minimum rates. However, no change in revision of the prices quoted will be allowed.

Administration Department informed the Committee that the mail regarding confirmation was sent to the vendors and none of the vendors agreed to comply fully with the terms and conditions of the price bid submitted and the minimum wages payable. It was submitted by the Department that since the minimum rates payable is the common element, the administrative charges quoted by vendors only may be taken into consideration for arriving at the L1 bidder. The Committee reiterated that Administration Department in the earlier meeting informed the Committee that no change in revision of the prices quoted will be allowed. Considering the Tender document issued and quotes submitted by the bidders and all the 4 vendors have deviated in one or the other item of minimum requirements, it is recommended that fresh tender may be called for supply of manpower for IRDAI, New Delhi Regional Office.

Communication Department apprised the Committee on 3 TVCs on spurious callers viz. 1. Policeman (40sec) 2. Sharmaji (30sec) 3. Cafeteria (45sec) which were already telecasted in 11 languages.
