Delay in appointing the Project Management Consultant For end-to end support of project execution under Smart Cities Mission in Kochi, the Mission Director had issued a RFP on 25th May 2016 and the last date to receive the proposal was 1st August 2016. In response to the RFP, proposals were received from 9 consultancy firms. The technical committee has reviewed the proposal in detail and also invited the firms for a presentation. Further three firms were shortlisted as per the RFP selection criteria and their financial bid was opened on 18th November 2016. M/s IPE global obtained the highest score in the combined evaluation process. The evaluation committee submitted its report to the Mission Director. The committee observed that e-tendering procedure has not been followed in the selection process and hence recommended to obtain ratification from Government before awarding the work. As per the decision of 9th State Level High Powered Committee (SHPSC), chaired by the Chief Secretary held on 25th January 2017, the Mission Director submitted the file to the Government for waiving the eprocurement procedure for selection of the PMC. After seeking the advises of Finance and IT Department, the matter was placed in the cabinet meeting held on 28th March 2017. The cabinet approved the physical tendering process initiated for the selection and the consultant and waived the etendering process in the selection of PMC. The Selection of M/S IPE Global Pvt Ltd was approved by the Government and issued order-GO (Rt) 1153/LSGD dated 12th April 2017. The delay in the selection of PMC has led to delay in the implementation of projects proposed under Area Based Development.
