Public procurement in India
• Large and growing component of public spending
• Massive infrastructure projects
• At state level, procurement is a mosaic – multiple systems running at the same time.
• No professional cadre – no specialized training
• Share of public procurement in GDP in India – 20%(?)
Public procurement, also called Government procurement or public tendering, is the procurement of goods and services on behalf of a public authority, such as a government agency.

Even with an absence of coherent policy, GPP/SPP exists in India!
• Rule 137 of the GFRs articulates the fundamental principles of public purchasing that Government Ministries and Departments provide:
– Adequate information and announcement;
– Non-discriminatory practices to provide equality of opportunity, transparency in bidding, as well as in the evaluation process;
– Accountability; and
– Non-restrictive bidding conditions to unlock the particular market
• The businesses in India abide with the International /Agreements ratified and this reflects in the Products
• Non restrictive practices such as the ILO conventions are ratified by India and translated into the Indian Legislative system

Policies Promoting GPP
• Encouraging hand spun and hand woven textiles (khadi) products
• Specialized system of reservations for handloom sectors
• For notified products, products from Small Scale Industries are preferred
• Protection is provided to the domestic industry in recognition of high costs, like input costs, interest rates, etc.
4
• This is a reflection of the primary policy of the government to provide for financial and infrastructural support to the handloom and the small-scale sectors.
• Both these sectors, are rated highly in terms of social performance, since they employ a high percentage of labour and are arguably sustainable in terms of their energy usage.
• This kind of a reservation system therefore has a positive impact on sustainable procurement by the Indian government

Driving forces in augmenting the agenda of GPP in India
• Pollution Prevention / Cleaner Production Focus
– Policy framework has been developed to complement the legislative provisions
– National Conservation strategy and Policy Statement on Environment
– Product oriented regulations are in the horizon
– The Government has initiated efforts in identifying Green Product Manufacturers

Driving forces in augmenting the agenda of GPP in India
• National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) has been notified
– Stress on demand-side management in the use of energy and natural resources in consumption sectors (Energy Efficiency)
– Emission reduction in the production sectors contingent on transfer of new technology and finance (Cleaner Technology)

Driving forces in augmenting the agenda of GPP
• Energy Conservation
– Energy performance standards and labelling for equipment and appliances already is in place
– BEE is empowered to prohibit manufacture or sale or purchase or import of specified equipment or appliance unless such equipment or appliance conforms to energy consumption standards
7
- Public procurement for designated products specify energy efficiency rating requirements

International Influences in the Process
• Japanese model of GPP felt as the best fit
• EMC’s work with Gov of Mauritius – GPP system for 5 products
• Experiences from other countries also fed into the development of GPP guidelines in India – Led by CII
– European Union, China, Brazil, etc.

Conclusions
• While India has no ‘defined’ GPP process, the various tenets of GPP gets reflected in the existing Public Procurement processes
• The Public Procurement Governance exists with high level of implementation & transparency
• Equality and diversity in supply chains is addressed in the Public Procurement processes
• International developments has impacted the GPP development process in many ways
• Carbon considerations coming in through introduction of Energy Efficiency measures – expanding to Low Carbon Goods – National priority
• A lot needs to be done – right from Policy, Legislation, Standards to awareness creation
