Procurement Knowledge - Repository for Procurement Practitioners in India

Judgment documents are related to different agencies and companies. The Supreme Court has clarified the jurisdictional scope of procurement policy and also High Court of similar states clarified relevant judgment.

Procurement, as defined by the Government of India’s General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017 means ''acquisition by way of purchase, lease, license or otherwise, either using public funds or any other source of funds (e.g. grant, loans, gifts, private investment etc.) of goods, works or services or any combination thereof, including award of Public Private Partnership projects, by a Procuring Entity, whether directly or through an agency with which a contract for procurement services is entered into, 

Public Procurement as an organizational process is ever evolving. The vast number of organizations involved in various sectors and industries are identified by different needs. Organizations, therefore focus on improvising the procurement process and formulate practices which suit their needs. The effectiveness of procurement practice depends upon various factors and also upon the kind of organization. A good practice is not only a practice that is good, but a practice that has been proven to work well and produce good results, and is therefore recommended as a model. It is a successful experience, which has been tested and validated, in the broad sense, which has been repeated and deserves to be shared so that a greater number of people can adopt it. Good practices in public procurement refer to the set of practices adopted by an organization to ensure transparency, fairness, economy, integrity, efficiency, and value for money.
