4.3 Post contract issues
(MM/04/2015 dated 28.04.2015)
24.3.1 Post contract issues (Post LOA/ NOA issues, wherever LOA/NOA is placed in
line with the agreed tender / bid conditions) will require to be deliberated by
the tender committee (for cases exceeding Rs 10 lakh) and submitted for
approval of the Competent Purchase Authority. However, for cases approved
by EPC, Concerned Director will approve post contract issues. When
purchase does not fall under purview of tender committee, dealing officer of
MM in consultation with Indentor and Finance shall put up the proposals for
approval of CPA. For cases dealt by departments other than MM, proposal
shall be put up by dealing officer in consultation with finance and MM
(wherever required) to CPA for approval. However, for enhancement of
contract/target value provisions of BDP item no. 22.4 shall apply.
24.3.2 Post contract issues, during the execution of contract, which are dealt as per
the provisions of contract and approving authority for any / all such issues are
clearly spelt out in this matter elsewhere, as per ONGC guidelines, will be
dealt accordingly.
24.3.3 Levy of LD should be carried out as per provisions of contract and not treated
as a post contract issue.
24.3.4 Availing of services should be strictly as per contract provisions only. Even in
extreme operational urgency, before availing services not covered in the
contract, prior approval of the competent authority (who has approved award
of the contract in the first place) should invariably be obtained, so that no faitaccompli cases need be submitted to management later on.
