BSNL Empanelment process : This will help BSNL to reduce the cycle time of
finalization the process from tender to order. Once in a year process can be
reviewed
More emphasis to be brought on indigenous manufacturing clause – this will help
BSNL post sales support
Liquidated Damages shall be maximum 12% of the net amount after deduction of
duties and taxes only on the delayed portion of the equipment
Delivery Period timelines should be flexible based on the quantum of supplies and
the country of origin , specially in case of project nature of business
Project milestones should be linked to PO instead of APO

Automated process for claiming the vendor payments should be
introduced and beyond 60 days delay from the submission of complete
bills need to be monitored at Circle level and also reviewed at HQ level
(Some System need to be in place )

The fall clause in a tender to be removed as the L-1 Vendor gives the most
aggressive pricing through competitive bidding.

Product supply business : TESAC shall be pre- requisite to participate the
tender , this will ensure BSNL timely supply

Acceptance Testing Procedure (ATP) shall be signed off within one month of issuance of
Purchase Order- as it takes major time for agreement of final detailed scope

VT process need to be simplified – Major application related test need to conduct and
undertaking from vendor for general test schedule as vendor association with the
project for minimum 5-6 years including O&M

In case of turnkey projects, site allotment, site readiness and finally site handover
should be done on priority basis

BSNL & Vendor should sign the Project PERT on combined basis and benefit of doubt
should be given to vendor if BSNL is responsible for delay – Standard practice follows
by most of major Teleco’s

Penalties under AMC agreement should be capped to 12%

Minimum 60-70% of the payment should be made at the time of delivery ,as vendor
gives 10% PBG or may ask for 20% PBG as bank guarantee – this will help vendor to
mobilize the fund for fast project execution
Many Thanks!
