Accordingly M/s KEONICS a PSU under Karnataka State Government was identified as the solution provider for implementing the e-Procurement Solution. Now M/s KOENICS has deployed the application in A & N State Data Center. It has been proposed to implement the e-Procurement solution on pilot basis in following departments viz. Directorate of Health Services, Directorate of Shipping Services, Electricity Department, One Division of APWD i.e. PBCC, DBRAIT and ALHW.
With the implementation of e-Procurement solution, the vendors who wish to submit tenders/ bids can only submit the tenders / bids on line through the e-Procurement application www.eproc.andaman.gov.in.
