Vendor Development Policy – Revision I (Sept’10)
I. Objective: I. During the conclave held by CBIP jointly with CEA & MOP at Delhi, a view was taken to develop new vendors considering the limited manufacturing capacity of various items to meet with the target of generation capacity addition and their evacuation for projects planned during 11th Five Year Plan (2007-12). The Vendor development policy
of July’07 is reviewed in June’10 and amended accordingly to facilitate effective implementation. II. It is also need of the time that new products which were so far not tried in the system, be also tried after observing all necessary precautions and seeking permissions from competent R & D Institution by way of NOC if required. In order to encourage new vendors, a policy is required to be framed which qualifies them to participate in our tender but at the same time safeguards our interests. II. Applicability: There are numbers of vendors who are ready to develop and manufacture equipment and to introduce in the system which they will be manufacturing for the first time. i) Who has not produced equipment / system earlier of same rating and specification, but prepared to develop by creating manufacturing facilities and carry out type tests as referred in the policy. ii) The policy also encourages those new vendors, who have manufactured, type tested the product and meeting our specification but do not have adequate operating experience of product / system to meet tender requirements. Such new vendors shall be permitted as per this policy.
iii) The policy also cover new products so far not used in the GETCO system and
introduced for the first time and can be used to facilitate system by way of improvement in performance, data recording, retrieving and monitoring, technical up gradation, ease of operation and so forth.
The scheme is of mutual benefit of vendors & GETCO. Any difference / disagreement arising out of this cause shall be resolved by MD GETCO and shall be binding to all. III. Policy: Part A: Development of the new vendor for products already in regular use in the system i) The vendor registration fee is payable when Vendor agrees to abide by all
guidelines of the Vendor development policy and GETCO agree to consider the proposal under vendor development policy. The amount of registration fee shall be as per the norms of vendor registration. This initially paid fee is to be considered as vendor registration fee valid for period of five years from the date of payment once the equipment is commissioned satisfactorily. While accepting the initial registration fee, the factory inspection will be carried out as usual; however criteria such as requirement of Type test, Performance certificate and list of past orders executed shall not be insisted / imposed like for regular vendor registration.
ii) After completion of all procedure as at (i) above, new vendors could be allowed to manufacture proto-type equipment as per GETCO tender specification. iii) System / Equipment proposed shall meet the technical requirement of specified drawings, guaranteed technical particulars, manufacturing quality plan and also have successfully completed type tests as per tender specifications at third party NABL approved laboratories. iv) Supply, erection and commissioning of equipment in the transmission system shall be at the location selected by GETCO. v) New vendor supplying equipment shall have to arrange loading, unloading, insurance, transportation, erection, testing & commissioning of equipment at no extra cost to GETCO.

during the performance guarantee period (stipulated in relevant tender document), the payment already made to the vendor shall be recovered from the BG/PBG and other privileges offered under the scheme shall automatically cease and the equipment shall be returned to the supplier on ‘As is where is’ condition. The initially accepted registration fees will be forfeited and registration will be treated as void.

The vendor shall be eligible to participate in GETCO tender as New-2 after one year of satisfactory performance of equipment. The vendor shall be eligible to participate in GETCO tender as regular thereafter.
