  • (2) In case of more than one contract falling under a particular package, the files or records shall be systematically maintained on each contract basis and arranged or grouped together on the basis of each package. For example, if one package of goods consists of 3 lots and for each lot a separate contract has been concluded, then there should be three files for 3 contracts and papers relating to each contract shall be maintained in the relevant contract files. All the three contract files relating to the particular package shall be maintained together as a group or package. If in a goods package, say Package No. G1 there are 3 contracts then the contract files shall indicate as G1: Contract-1 (3), G1: Contract 2 (3), G1: Contract 3 (3). All the 3 contracts shall be serially maintained under one package. The file number may be arranged as per Secretarial Instructions 2024.
  • (3) The file should be opened indicating the year when it is opened and the year when it should be closed. In other words it should include year of commencement and year of completion of contractual obligations.

  • (6) The concerned officer of the Procuring Entity should indicate in writing in the format in which part file or main file the records appearing blank are available.
  • (7) If relevant papers relating to a particular Procurement are maintained by more than one branch of the Procuring Entity, the relevant branch shall transfer the records to the main Procurement file.
