The bill should provide fix time table for different types of purchases. The purchase system of the bill is so bureaucratic that purchase process spoil the project schedule and indirectly increases the project cost which is not in the public interest. sometimes delays in procurement shelves the project or kill its utility or make the project irrelevant.

Wherever there is a possibility to hedge the raw materials, in case the final product prices are fixed/frozen/committed/under rate contract & having long term delivery, the corresponding raw material must be hedged to avoid market risk of fluctuation in prices of raw materials specifically of marketable commodities in commodity exchange.

In this digital world, the purchaser cannot be restricted to limited offer received against open tenders/panel of suppliers. The purchaser should be asked to arrange 2 to 3 additional offers of their own from new suppliers on/off shore through online digital channel.

It is observed in most cases that due to poor quality, the lifecycle of the material/job is less than the standard lifecycle even after paying high rates. The result-the materials/jobs are procured repetitively increasing the cost of project. For example why a road requires maintenance next rainy season in India whereas tar roads goes for years in south east Asia where rains are 8-9 months a year. There is fundamentally wrong with our system/standards. Supplier should give long term warranties.

The procurement policy should be assisted by a robust digital Inventory management system connected with the stores/production/quality. Before going for procurement, the Public purchaser should have all info about the performance of past purchased similar items like feedback from the user about its quality, life, usage, existing stock, purpose of procurement, exact requirement, technical recommendation etc., which helps the public procurement manager to take right decision.
