System Malfunction Procedure
The System Malfunction Procedure is completed. As a result, the 583 affected tenders have been extended by 1 day as of today.
This means a tender with bid submission end date as 27-03-2025 will now have bid submission end date as 29-03-2025 (time will not change and remain same as given earlier).
But the bid opening date for the said tender is changed from 28-03-2025 to 30-03-2025 (time will not change and remain same as given earlier).
This needs to be considered and in case the new dates for bid submission end date and bid opening date fall on a holiday and holiday master is configured by the App Admin it will skip to the next working day as per the calendar. However, if the holiday master or calendar master are not configured by App Admin, then system will not know, and the revised dates may fall on a holiday which may affect processing by the concerned department. In such cases, the department users need to check their tenders and do the date extension as required for both bid submission end date and bid opening date.
All relevant Nodal Officers, TIAs, etc., may be informed to check their respective tenders and may extend the date and time further as per their requirements. |
