1. The Making of PMSS and Go Live Training! Procurement Management Support System

2. 2 Making of PMSS  The need for developing a centralized software that allow more than 200 engineering higher education institutions spread across the states in India to carry out procurement in an efficient and consistent manner was felt from the experiences of major deviations from agreed procurement arrangements and poor capacity observed in implementation of TEQIP Phase 1 ended in 2009.  As part of the project preparations, GoI and Bank agreed to develop Procurement Management Support System (PMSS) to help the institutions manage procurement worth about US$ 200 Million in the project.  PMSS was developed over a period of almost 1 year. Through a competitive selection, Compulink Software Ltd. Pune, India was selected for the development. It involved efforts from TEQIP NPIU and a national Level Experts Committee of 9 faculty members from the reputed engineering colleges and continous professional and technical support from the Bank Procurement Team to ensure a successful development.

3. 3 Making of PMSS  During the requirement gathering phase NPIU and Compulink consultants visited central and state level institurtions (NIT Durgapur, Walchand College of Engineering, Sangli, SPFU Hyderabad & Osmania university Hyderabad from where web-conferencing was done with 6 other collages to understand the process followed during TEQIP-I).  During the development phase, interim release were made. 3 day review meetings were conducted at NPIU after each release and the application was demonstrated. Inputs were obtained from NPIU, Experts Committee and The World Bank, which helped, shape PMSS to best suite the needs of users.  After the final development an intensive User Acceptance Test (UAT) session was conducted and final tweaking of PMSS was done.  A pilot training for first time users from 14 centrally financed National Institutes of technology (NITs) were organised in Pune India in March 2011. First time users reported they could complete learning and navigating software in 30 mts. Reflecting the user friednly nature and ease of navigation of the software.  PMSS goes live on 1 April 2011 hoping to change the way in which procurement is managed in this major central program
