A reform for government process for procurement or works or licensing public assets

Government has to decide a large number of contracts for works and supplies. To ensure protection of govt interest , a plethora of rules and regulations are made. Committees of officers from multi-disciplines pore over secret files, constantly worried about vigilance or audit destroying their future career prospects while required to meet what the top brass desires. 

The system can be simplified by removing the requirements of tender committees complex tender committee proceedings & secret files.

The entire render papers made available on web, with all conditions, pre-discussed with potential vendors, incorporating all view points, and making it clear no changes permitted once posted finally for bidding.

In all cases, the quote can be reduced to putting down a percentage above or below the standard schedule of rates contained in the schedule for various items.

This schedule can also be prepared in consultation with established vendors , factoring in latest accepted numbers as available. Statistical medians chosen to rate for each item.

Cases like sale of assets require highest bidder, and cases like procurement or works execution need lowest bidder.

From pre-qualified bidders, quotes obtained on secure servers, all made visible once all finish quoting , visible to all bidders, and the highest or least quote as the case may be,eliminated from next round of bidding.

The rest now bid, knowing the previous quotes of others, and not to become the highest/least, because of fear of getting eliminated.

The process is repeated , till only one is left, who becomes the winner. The process is completed within 3 hours window on the nominated day for award of tender.

Even the standard schedule of rates, conditions of payments, specifications are all decided by involving vendors over a series of meetings before freezing the tender.

This saves the govt the needless stress and secret file back stabbing operations officers undergo.

Automatically govt gets best deal..

The great Indian Puzzle.

The great Indian Puzzle:  own technology to save every single life in land transportation, decongest cities and roads, save fossil fuels, avoid painful land and property acquisition, all weather system, eliminates modal split and seamlessly integrates for both cargo and people, more importantly financially viable, proven and cleared by Government in 2005 itself BUT ignore  and continue to keep doing infrastructure development with century old technologies, proudly too, to add insult to injury, causing tears to land and property owners, spending four times more but unable to achieve any positive result, cities remain congested, floods can shut down cities, accidents keep killing people and losing heavily public funds in terms of subsidising losses since famously these are not financilayy viable. Isn't it height of stupidity or lack of integrity in engineers for misguiding their governments? How history will judge, only time will tell

SKYBUS RAIL : The unique disruptive rail technology of this century.

It is yet to hit experts of railways , that an innocent simple reconfiguration of railway technology elements in 2004 and and World’s First run on Sept 15 2004 of Skybus in Goa,  (    https://youtu.be/TzFH26E6eto  )   actually ushered in a mile stone, which I myself did not realize full implications at that time.   Many centuries of derailing, capsizing and colliding railways which we had been using with expensive mitigating measures, suddenly becomes obsolete.  Even in 2022 there are are hundreds of incidents in the world even in the most advanced railway systems and human lives lost. In 2005, once dynamic tests confirmed safety and more comfortable running of Skybus Rail, the entire world railways stand obsolescent.  To say the 175 year old , evolved highspeed rail too now , is obsolete is shocking . But matters of fact stare at any rational person, to gloss over.  https://drive.google.com/file/d/134GMH5pLrNkvhrXROIhQJvksdDtfeb6u/view     Current serious global warming challenge is e
