Block 14, CGO Complex

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Sub: Guidelines for qualification of Bidders seeking to acquire stakes in Public

Sector Enterprises through the process of disinvestment

Government has examined the issue of framing comprehensive and transparent

guidelines defining the criteria for bidders interested in PSE-disinvestment so that the
parties selected through competitive bidding could inspire public confidence. Earlier,
criteria like net worth, experience etc. used to be prescribed. Based on experience and in
consultation with concerned departments, Government has decided to prescribe the
following additional criteria for the qualification/ disqualification of the parties seeking to
acquire stakes in public sector enterprises through disinvestment:

(a) In regard to matters other than the security and integrity of the country, any
conviction by a Court of Law or indictment/ adverse order by a regulatory
authority that casts a doubt on the ability of the bidder to manage the public sector
unit when it is disinvested, or which relates to a grave offence would constitute
disqualification. Grave offence is defined to be of such a nature that it outrages the
moral sense of the community. The decision in regard to the nature of the offence
would be taken on case to case basis after considering the facts of the case and
relevant legal principles, by the Government of India.

(b) In regard to matters relating to the security and integrity of the country, any charge-
sheet by an agency of the Government/ conviction by a Court of Law for an
offence committed by the bidding party or by any sister concern of the bidding
party would result in disqualification. The decision in regard to the relationship
between the sister concerns would be taken, based on the relevant facts and after
examining whether the two concerns are substantially controlled by the same
person/ persons.
(c) In both (a) and (b), disqualification shall continue for a period that Government
deems appropriate.

Construction, Upgradation, Strengthening & Maintenance of Selected PRED roads in the Medak Circle in
Telangana under TGRDP on Hybrid Annuity Mode - Phase - I – Package - 08
Page | 83
Government of Telangana Request for Proposals

(d) Any entity, which is disqualified from participating in the disinvestment process,
would not be allowed to remain associated with it or get associated merely because
it has preferred an appeal against the order based on which it has been disqualified.
The mere pendency of appeal will have no effect on the disqualification.

(e) The disqualification criteria would come into effect immediately and would apply
to all bidders for various disinvestment transactions, which have not been
completed as yet.

(f) Before disqualifying a concern, a Show Cause Notice why it should not be
disqualified would be issued to it and it would be given an opportunity to explain
its position.

(g) Henceforth, these criteria will be prescribed in the advertisements seeking

Expression of Interest (EOI) from the interested parties. The interested parties
would be required to provide the information on the above criteria, along with their
Expressions of Interest (EOI). The bidders shall be required to provide with their
EOI an undertaking to the effect that no investigation by a regulatory authority is
pending against them. In case any investigation is pending against the concern or
its sister concern or against its CEO or any of its Directors/ Managers/ employees,
full details of such investigation including the name of the investigating agency,
the charge/ offence for which the investigation has been launched, name and
designation of persons against whom the investigation has been launched and other
relevant information should be disclosed, to the satisfaction of the Government.
For other criteria also, a similar undertaking shall be obtained along with EOI.
