Indian Navy Launches e-Procurement Portal

Indian Navy's e-procurement portal http://navy.govtprocurement.com was recently launched by Vice Admiral K Raina AVSM, Chief of Logistics at the Material Organisation, Mumbai. The adoption of the dynamic procurement model is a pioneering step towards bringing about greater objectivity, accountability and openness in procurement activities.

This e-governance initiative allows for faster and more efficient handling of tendering action, receipt/ evaluation of quotes and placement of orders. Integrated with the Navy's Integrated Logistics Management System (ILMS), it is expected to improve workflow, speed, accuracy and data integrity.

With greater transparency as the hallmark of all matters related to procurement, the e-procurement portal will facilitate time critical operational logistics support for frontline ships, submarines and aircraft within minimal cost and time implications.
