FOREWORD   
 
 
Due to increase in volume of transport services, it has become difficult to 
carryout all activities through departmental resources. Therefore, outsourcing 
through works contracts for non core activities to agencies having higher 
technical qualifications and better resources is being resorted to. Since 
Mechanical department of Indian Railways is generally not very acquainted with 
the systems and procedures of works contracts, considerable difficulty is being 
faced by the officers and supervisors dealing with works contracts.  
 
CAMTECH has undertaken the important task of preparing a ‘Hand Book on 
Contract Management for Mechanical Engineer’ to spread awareness about 
guidelines, various steps to be followed and the standard tender conditions 
circulated by the Railway Board for different activities. 
 
I hope, this handbook will be very helpful in improving knowledge of supervisors 
and officers of mechanical department about various aspects of contract 
management.

PREFACE 
 
Hitherto Mechanical Department has been managing their activities departmentally. 
However due to increase in volume of transport services and rise in costumer 
expectations, it has become very difficult to manage the services departmentally in cost 
effective manner. Therefore outsourcing of following few non core activities is being 
done. 
 
 Mechanised cleaning of C&W depots.  
 Mechanised cleaning of coaches. 
 On board house keeping services. 
 Washing of linen & other cloths. 
 Rodent control treatment. 
 Disinfection of passenger carrying vehicle. 
 
At present, the supervisors and officers of Mechanical department are not well versed 
with procedures of contract management, therefore a need was felt to summarise 
various guidelines about contract management.  
 
In this handbook various topics such as, steps during contract management, general 
conditions of contract, eligibility criteria, execution of work, special condition/ model 
tender document of standard contract being under taken by mechanical department, 
have been included.  
 
It is clarified that this handbook does not supersede any existing procedures and 
practices laid down by the Railway Board and instructions issued by Zonal Railways. 
 
Learning is a continuous process, hence feel free to write to us for any addition / 
modification in this handbook or in case you have any suggestion to improve the 
handbook, your contribution in this direction shall be highly appreciated.
