Sub: The General Conditions of Contract for Services

The General Conditions of Contract (GCC) have not been able to bridge the
fundamental differences in the nature of works and service delivery and a need was being
felt since long to have a “General Conditions of Contract” specifically for Services to improve
contract management and delivery.

Accordingly, Ministry of Railway formed a Committee of five Executive Directors to
draft a “General Conditions of Contract for Services”. The same has now been approved by
the Board (MRS, FC & CRB).

This document shall be known as “GCC for Services’. It shall henceforth form the
basis for all tenders invited by the Indian Railways for all service contracts.

While inviting bids under two packet system, care must be taken by the tender inviting
authority to define the technical eligibility criteria as per the needs and specific requirements
of the project in question. A sample of technical criteria has been attached as Annexure- 1
of the GCC for Services for illustrative purposes.

The contents of the “GCC for Services” are as follows:
