What the document does
The Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (CGS.1) Department issued G.O.(2D) No.2 to extend the delivery period under an existing cement procurement arrangement. The permitted period runs from 7 January 2015 to 31 March 2015.
The procurement concerns 8.40 lakh metric tons of 43 Grade OPC cement for schemes implemented by the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Department. The approved contract rate is Rs.220 per bag, with cement procured from private cement manufacturers through Tamil Nadu Cements Corporation Limited.
Why the extension was granted
Tamil Nadu Cements Corporation Limited reported that finalisation of a new tender for 2014-15 was still under process and could take more time. It also reported that one tenderer had not supplied the offered quantity.
The document records the following steps and circumstances:
- The original procurement covered 8.40 lakh metric tons of cement.
- The earlier extended delivery period ended on 6 January 2015.
- The Board of Tamil Nadu Cements Corporation Limited decided to invoke an additional 25 per cent quantity under the tender conditions.
- This generated an additional quantity of 2.10 lakh metric tons.
- The Board also approved reallocation of defaulted quantities to willing suppliers at the existing rate.
- The additional and reallocated quantities could not be supplied before the earlier extension expired.
Tamil Nadu Cements Corporation Limited therefore requested a further extension through 31 March 2015, which the Government approved.
