ELCOT floats tenders to procure above IT Hardware Products as per Tamil Nadu Transparency in Tenders Act and Rules. Suppliers/Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) offer competitive prices in view of the large volume of procurement done by ELCOT.

IT Hardware procurement is done through two modes of tenders: -

1. Rate Contract Tenders – ELCOT floats Rate Contract Tenders for the supply of items to various Government Departments at a fixed price throughout the year. ELCOT ensures better price and availability of the products in Rate Contract, by grouping the items that are commonly procured by the Departments.

2. Full Procurement Tenders – ELCOT undertakes a separate tender process when the specific requirements of Departments are not available in Rate Contract or the value of procurement is more than Rs. 10 Crore.

ELCOT has an “e-Procurement Portal” through which the Departments can generate Proforma Invoice, update details on fund transfer and make a request to supply the items. Subsequently, ELCOT issues Purchase Orders to suppliers through this portal. This portal has streamlined the transactions of the Government Departments with ELCOT with increased transparency and reduced the manual work.
