WORKING PAPER

Ut-2-

3. PPRA web site is useful for the prodiring agenciea and the suppliers.

The adverlisement of tender notices in print media is very expensive. AII lender

advertisem€nts from Rs.1 lac to 20 lac are also required to be uploaded on PPRA

website. Tenders above Rs.2 million are published both on PPRA website and in

print media. This facility of uploading on PPRA website has been proviling huge

savings for the pmcuring agencies. Horrever, a nominal levy of l6nd€r fee would

gen€rate incomo tor PPRA without causing any additional financial burden on the

procuring agencies.

4. The methods being used for uploading o, procuring agencies tender

advsrtissments include direct uploading (through user login), emails, faxes, letters

and newspapers. PPRA intends to levy an initial fee of Rs.lOOO/- *(sub./ecl to

vaiation) on each tender uploading by the procudng agencies to generate aome

income and to meel its expenses whicfi will ultimately reduce rcliance on govemment

budget. This initiative, would help generate an income of approximately Rs.2 million

annually.

.E5. Proposal at para 4 above may kindly be approved;for financial autark)

of PPRA and a much needed righl step to attain the essence of a regulatory body i'the new regulatory regime to achieve the overall obiective of improving govemance,

management, transparoncy, accountability and quality of public procurement o{

goods, services and works in the public sector.
