Dear Sir/Madam
01 - The construction activities for which the tender under reference are exempted from payment of
‘Tender Cost and EMD by MSME. The same can be seen through the circular no. F.No.
UAM/MC/0112017-SME dated 27.06.2017 which clearly states that all activities covered under all
divisions excluding division 02, 03, 45, 46, 47, 97, 98 & 99 including Section F (Construction)
sion 41, 42 & 43 of NIC classification 2008 shall be used to classify enterprises 2s micro, small
and medium based on investment in plant and machinery and equipment respectively. These three
divisions 41, 42 & 43 cover all construction activitics including the ones that the tender was called
for. So stating that the exemption is not applicable on the tender under reference is wrong and
unethical.
Also there have been several circulars earlier as well that states that construction activities have
always been covered under services therefore eligible for exemption
1. Cicular No. 5(6)/2013-MSME POL Dated 05.11.2014
2. Circular No. 2(3)11/2007- MSME POL Dated 16.11.2007
Even due to this confusion a FAQ was answered by MSME through circular no. F:No.22 (1)/2012-
MA Dated 24.11.2016. in which on specifically replying to the query that Q. No. 18 “Whether this
policy is applicable for works / trading activities also?”,
It was clearly replied that policy is meant for procurement and services (including construction
activities) and traders are excluded from the purview of public procurement policy.
‘Ako all the tenders including the ones tendered by autonomous bodies come under the purview of
General Financial Rules issued by Department of Finance (Government of India). It clearly states
under Rule 170() that Bid Security (also known as Earnest Money) és to be obtained fiom the
bidders except Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) as defined in MSE Procurement Policy
issued by Department of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME).
As per manual for procurement of works published by department of expenditure, it clearly states the
statuary framework for procurement guidelines shall consist of The Micro, Small and Medium
Enterprises Development Act, 2006. That infers that the MSME Act 2006 shall be applicable for
procurement of works as well.
