In case the order value is less than Rs. 500,000/- (less than US$ 25,000,in case of foreign bid) the bid bond in lieu of Performance Bond, will be retained till fulfillmentof obligations by the supplier. If bid bond submitted by the supplier is more than 2% of orderedvalue, it may be replaced with appropriate value. If ordered material is less than Rs. 100,000/-the bid bond will be returned along with order. Bid Bond of non-compliant bidders may bereleased during evaluation process. Experience by me: All offers shall remain valid for 90 days from the date of opening of bids, until any further extension agreed by the bidder. The company reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bidsor part thereof, without assigning any reasons. Quoted price shall remain valid, firm, irrevocableand fixed till the fulfillment of obligations by the Supplier and will not be subject to escalationon any account .My task was the evaluation and the comparing the printed data of the bids which have been punched in the oracle software to cross check whether they are punched right or wrong referringto their reference number amount name of the supplier ect.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Job description should match to employees field of work.Motivation and encouragement is not seen, management should conduct seminars or lectures that can boost employees moral and self-esteem to work in a loyal way towardscompany.Overtime work should be discouraged, in my opinion overtime policy should beabolished or the overtime incentive given per each extra hour worked should be reduced by 50%. Which will discourage employees to do work in evening or night and sitting idlein morning; instead they would in standard timings, which will result in fast processing of data in timely manner.Corporate culture should be implemented, with strict following of rules and regulations.In the Gas Purchases section, the current practice for recording of the gas purchases fromforeign companies is to use the exchange rate as of the last working day of the month andfor the payment purpose; the exchange rate used is the exchange rate at the day of payment. As such, huge exchange gain/loss is recorded. Considering the current situationof devaluation of rupee against the dollar, the exchange loss would increase in future, if some kind of hedging is not done. Therefore, it is suggested that to use hedging processin order to avoid heavy losses due to exchange rate changes.Sections staff should be seated in one area, so that communication among them isfacilitated. Currently, there are some sections in which the staff is dispersed around thefloor, which hinders the free flow of communication.There is no balance between the numbers of employees in each section. Where thenumber of employees should be more to share the work burden but there are fewer employees then the required need. And where there is no work burden there are moreemployees than the required need. The need for employees should be analyze properly toallocate employees on right place to completely avail their skills.Corporate culture should be implemented in SSGC
