issued by Department of Expenditure to all Ministries/ Departments of Central
Government need to commence e-procurement.

(b) All procurement with estimated value of Z 5 lakh and above will be
compulsorily processed through e-procurement wef 01 Apr 15 and further down
to Z 2 lakh wef 01 Apr 16.

(c) Commencement of e-procurement in any organisation is a simple or

straight forward process and does not require any technocrat or IT wizard.

(d) For facilitating e-procurement, portal for MES has already been created by
NIC and the portal is http\\www.eprocuremes.gov.in (MES portal).

(e) The present version of the software on MES portal uses only the
e-tendering module. The bidder management is addressed to a limited extent.
The rest of the modules to cater for other aspects to procurement will be
incorporated when the system matures.

(f) In present scenario, it has been decided that e-tendering module will be
used for supply and procurement to avoid any further delay in implementation of
e-procurement.

(g) This SOP for e-procurement is to help the formations/ units, who embark
on the information highway to procure goods and services through
e-procurement.

(h) The term tender in this SOP will cover quotation/ job order/ supply order.

2. Digital Identity Feature. The migration of procurement process from physical

to online has resulted in establishing the digital identify of the buyers and sellers on
e-procurement system; some of the important aspects of the online identity are
explained below: -

(a) User ID. In order to access the e-procurement system, every user is
required to provide two-stage authentication. The first authentication is based on
a user name and password and second is based on Digital Signature Certificate
(DSC). The user name and password provided by the Nodal Officer for official
users. The vendors are required to register themselves with the CPP portal and
 4

create their user ID themselves. The user name is non-transferable and each
user is provided with a unique user name.
(b) Digital Signature Certificate (DSC).
The DSCs are an integral part of
the e-procurement process. They have to be used by both government official as
well as bidders, to ensure the security of the transactions, authentication of the
users of the system and digital signing of the documents published in the
e-procurement site at various point of time. DSCs are legal requirement as per
Indian IT Act. DSCs are non-transferable and each user is responsible for its safe
custody. The DSC once associated with a user ID cannot be associated with any
other user ID in the system.

Software Requirement for e-procurement.
