In order to make the Public Procurement Policy more effective, a Public Procurement Portal “MSME SAMBANDH” was launched on 8th December, 2017. The Portal tracks the procurement made by CPSEs from MSEs including SC-ST MSEs on a quarterly basis and contains the necessary information relating to the requirement of CPSEs in terms of items required, quantity, specifications, last purchase price etc. Therefore, the portal helps in effective monitoring while also enabling MSEs to build their capacities and participate in Public Procurement market.
