Odisha, Jun 7 (KNN)<\/strong>\u00a0In a move aimed at strengthening national security and promoting self-reliance, the Odisha government has revised its procurement policies by amending the Odisha General Financial Rules (OGFR).<\/span><\/p>\n

The new provisions empower the state to restrict procurement from bidders associated with countries that are considered a potential threat to India\u2019s security and defence interests.<\/span><\/p>\n

Though no countries have been named directly, the changes are in line with the Centre\u2019s broader Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the key highlights of the amendment is the introduction of stricter eligibility conditions for bidders.<\/span><\/p>\n

The state government can now exclude bidders from nations sharing a land border with India if they do not meet specified national security guidelines.<\/span><\/p>\n

This aligns Odisha\u2019s procurement framework with the Government of India\u2019s directives on sensitive procurement.<\/span><\/p>\n

The updated rules also introduce structural reforms for better procurement efficiency. Procurement activities are now clearly categorised into four types \u2014 goods, consultancy services, non-consultancy services, and works.<\/span><\/p>\n

This classification aims to streamline government purchases and improve clarity in processes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Further, IT projects will now be treated as consultancy services due to the variations in deliverables, making the procurement of such services more adaptable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another major change is the provision for parallel contracting \u2014 allowing up to five vendors to be awarded contracts at the L1 (lowest bidder) rate.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is especially useful for bulk supply needs where one vendor may not have the capacity to fulfil large orders alone.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new rules also emphasise transparency. For consultancy services valued over \u20b950 lakh, departments must now issue an Expression of Interest (EoI) before shortlisting candidates.<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, local purchase committees have been introduced for purchases between \u20b950,000 and \u20b93 lakh.<\/span><\/p>\n

The revised policy continues to support local enterprises including MSMEs and startups, offering them purchase preferences and relaxations \u2014 subject to prior approval from the Finance Department.<\/span><\/p>\n
