10.1.1 For GeM cases, TC is not required. However, my understanding is that for high value cases, TC should be held. Further, negotiation can only be recommened by Tender Committee irrespective of the value of the case.

In many amendments and circularshether negotitiation is to be done, allcs.
TC is also required to be held for carrying out price negotiations (if applicable) with
bidders in all cases, irrespective of the value of the case.

10.2.2  Tender Committee through Microsoft Meet/ Sametime is acceptable.
