FOREWORD
Indian Railways executes large number of construction and maintenance works
through contracts. These contracts are handled at every level in organisation.
Understanding and executing contracts requires knowledge of various rules,
regulations and policy guidelines issued from time to time. Keeping track of all such
information is a big task.
This Compendium compiles latest updated rules and regulations covering all aspects
of tenders and contracts in a very short and lucid manner. Relevant references have
been included so that details if required can be accessed.
I hope that the Compendium will help in improving and updating knowledge of field
officials involved in handling contracts and make contracting fully compliant,
uniform, systematic, efficient and cost effective.

PREFACE
Tenders and Contracts have become a day to day necessity in Indian Railways. Officers,
Supervisors and technical / clerical staff at all levels deal with tenders and contracts including
preparation of documents, calling, opening and finalising tenders, preparing and signing
agreements, executing the works, completing and concluding the contracts. Thus
contracting is a big team effort in Railways. It is important for all these officials dealing with
tenders and contracts to be aware of all rules and regulations and be updated with latest
changes and developments. Till now efforts have been to compile all the letters issued from
time to time on this subject for guidance. This method at times results in contradictory or
obsolete information also creeping in the Compendium.
This Compendium has been brought out in a book format with reference to various policy
letter and relevant para of codes mentioned wherever required. The information is updated
and current till time of going for publication. All subsequent developments / changes will
have to be tracked by users to keep this Compendium usable.
The Compendium contains eleven chapters reasonably dividing the subject of tenders and
contracts into segments handled at various stages of tender and contracts. Various Chapters
cover topics on works contracts, tenders and its type, various forms of deposits and
guarantees, Tender Committee, consideration and acceptance, registration of contracts and
advances, zone contracts and do’s and don’ts.
Relevant chapters cover in sufficient detail rules and procedures on the subject with
references mentioning policy letters etc. for further reading if required. This Compendium is
expected to be of immense help to new officials joining Railways and assigned duties for
contract handling as well as working officials in terms of basic norms and procedures of
tenders and contract. It will also help other department officials handling contracts in
understanding of subject and build confidence in handling contracts helping them in avoiding
mistakes. Effort has been made to keep the language of ‘Compendium’ simple for easy
reading and understanding at all levels.
