Online Submission and Automated Evaluation Framework for Public Procurement under Uttarakhand SBD System
Abstract: Procurement is an essential process for infrastructure and service provision; however, the current tendering processes governed by the Uttarakhand Standard Bidding Document guidelines are all manual, unintegrated, and inefficient processes that are inefficient, lack transparency, accuracy, and auditability. A proposal aims to overcome these challenges of the current tendering processes to create an efficient and automated e-procurement system that is transparent in its operations. The framework aims to encompass all aspects of the procurement process, from the preparation of the tender to the reporting of the awarded contract to the government of Uttarakhand. The implementation of a rule-based evaluation engine enforces consistent evaluation based on the SBD criteria, and AI-based anomaly detection improves risk management and governance. The system was tested in an infrastructure procurement use case, reducing the bid evaluation time from 4-5 hours to 10-15 minutes (94% efficiency gain). The framework achieved high accuracy, repeatability, and auditability through automation, real-time analytics and audit trails - offering a scalable platform for smart public procurement.
