🚨 Ultimate Guide to Government Tenders 💼 How to Secure Contracts Over ₹50 Lakhs 🏆GFR 161 Explained 📢

Описание: Summary
The video "GFR 2017 - Rule 161 - Advertised Tender Process" provides an overview of the procedures involved in the open tender process as per Rule 161 of the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. The speaker explains the conditions under which an advertised tender, also known as an open tender, should be used, specifically when procurement of goods or services exceeds Rs 50 lakhs. The process includes mandatory advertising on the Central Public Procurement Portal (CPPP), the Government e-Marketplace (GeM), and the department's own website. The video also touches on the timeline requirements for bid submissions, exceptions for international bids, and when procurement rules can be relaxed in emergencies.

Analogy
