One of the points, on the procurement of routers, has been flagged by a few companies during the pre-tender process, as per official documents. “This has been tweaked to favour a single foreign firm,” Jayaram Venkatesan, convenor of Arappor Iyakkam said.

The Bharatnet<\/a> tender is for setting up optical fibre network to provide high speed broadband internet to 12,524 gram panchayats in the state. At the centre of the latest objection is a tender clause involving routers.
Each panchayat will have a router, around 400 blocks will have another router each and there will be two at the headquarters. The configuration for each is different.
In the tender freshly floated last month, TANFINET<\/a>, the government agency, has stated that all the routers should be from the same original equipment manufacturer.
Some companies, and Jayaram in his complaint, have stated that the headquarters routers have a different specification than the ones at the block and panchayat level. “Domestic manufacturers can supply the block and panchayat routers, but not the headquarters one. This clause is effectively to ensure only one foreign company can participate,” Jayaram said.
In the pre-tender meetings, competitors raised a similar issue. “By allowing single OEM for all categories of routers, participation of local manufacturers will be restricted,” the objection states.
In the earlier cancelled tender, TANFINET had allowed bidders to procure the headquarter routers from a different OEM. “Why they resorted to another restrictive clause despite removing it earlier is puzzling,” Jayaram said.
The other two objections raised by Arappor pertain to reduction in number of block routers and operating temperature of aggregation routers, which Jayaram alleges favours a single foreign firm.
“Earlier restrictive clauses in turnover and experience have been removed, but some have been introduced in highly technical points to narrow down competition,” Jayaram said.

每个村委会将有一个路由器,大约400块会有另一个路由器,会有两个总部。为每个不同的配置。
在招标上个月刚上市,TANFINET、政府机构已经表示,所有的路由器都应该从相同的原始设备制造商。
一些公司,Jayaram投诉,说总部路由器有不同规格的块和村委会的水平。“国内制造商可以供应块和村委会路由器,但不是总部的一个。这一条款是确保只有一个外国公司能有效地参与,”Jayaram说。
标底的会议,竞争对手提出了类似的问题。“通过允许单一的OEM为所有类别的路由器,参与当地的制造商将被限制,“反对国家。
在早些时候取消招标,TANFINET允许投标人采购总部路由器从一个不同的OEM。“他们为什么采取另一个限制性从句,尽管早些时候删除它是令人费解,“Jayaram说。
提出的其他两个反对Arappor属于减少屏蔽路由器和工作温度的聚合路由器,Jayaram宣称支持一个单一的外国公司。
“限制性从句中早些时候在营业额和经验已被移除,但一些介绍了在高度技术性缩小竞争,“Jayaram说。
