5.2 If the Bidder makes incorrect statement on this subject, he can be disqualified from the tender
process or the contract, if already awarded, can be terminated for such reason or action can be
taken as per the separate "Guidelines on Banning of Business dealings with Suppliers/ Contractors",
framed by the Principal.
Section 6 - Equal treatment of all Bidder (s)/ Contractor (s) / Sub-contractor (s)
6.1 The Principal will enter into Integrity Pacts with identical conditions as this Integrity Pact with all
Bidders and Contractors.
6.2 In case of Sub-contracting, the Principal Contractor shall take the responsibility of the adoption of
Integrity Pact by the Sub-contractor(s) and ensure that all Sub-contractors also sign the Integrity
Pact.
6.3 The Principal will disqualify from the tender process all Bidders who do not sign this Integrity Pact
or violate its provisions.
8.1 The Principal appoints competent and credible panel of Independent External Monitor (s) (IEMs)
for this Integrity Pact. The task of the IEMs is to review independently and objectively, whether
and to what extent the parties comply with the obligations under this Integrity Pact.
8.2 The IEMs are not subject to instructions by the representatives of the parties and performs his
functions neutrally and independently. He reports to the CMD, BHEL.
8.3 The IEMs shall be provided access to all documents/ records pertaining to the Contract, for which
a complaint or issue is raised before them as and when warranted. However, the
documents/records/information having National Security implications and those documents which
have been classified as Secret/Top Secret are not to be disclosed.
8.4 The Principal will provide to the IEMs sufficient information about all meetings among the parties

BHEL-IP AA:SSP:IP:R03 dtd 01-04-2022
8.5 The advisory role of IEMs is envisaged as that of a friend, philosopher and guide. The advice of IEMs
would not be legally binding and it is restricted to resolving issues raised by a Bidder regarding any
aspect of the tender which allegedly restricts competition or bias towards some Bidders. At the
same time, it must be understood that IEMs are not consultants to the Management. Their role is
independent in nature and the advice once tendered would not be subject to review at the request
of the organization.
8.6 For ensuring the desired transparency and objectivity in dealing with the complaints arising out of
any tendering process or during execution of Contract, the matter should be examined by the full
panel of IEMs jointly, who would look into the records, conduct an investigation, and submit their
joint recommendations to the Management.
8.7 The IEMs would examine all complaints received by them and give their recommendations/ views
to the CMD, BHEL at the earliest. They may also send their report directly to the CVO, in case of
suspicion of serious irregularities requiring legal/ administrative action. Only in case of very
serious issue having a specific, verifiable Vigilance angle, the matter should be reported directly to
the Commission. IEMs will tender their advice on the complaints within 30 days.
8.8 The CMD, BHEL shall decide the compensation to be paid to the IEMs and its terms and conditions.
8.9 IEMs should examine the process integrity, they are not expected to concern themselves with fixing
of responsibility of officers. Complaints alleging mala fide on the part of any officer of the Prinicpal
should be looked into by the CVO of the Principal.
8.10 If the IEMs have reported to the CMD, BHEL, a substantiated suspicion of an offence under relevant
Indian Penal Code / Prevention of Corruption Act, and the CMD, BHEL has not, within reasonable
time, taken visible action to proceed against such offence or reported it to the Vigilance Office, the
IEMs may also transmit this information directly to the Central Vigilance Commissioner,
Government of India.
8.11 After award of work, the IEMs shall look into any issue relating to execution of Contract, if
specifically raised before them. As an illustrative example, if a Contractor who has been awarded
the Contract, during the execution of Contract, raises issue of delayed payment etc. before the
IEMs, the same shall be examined by the panel of IEMs. Issues like warranty/ guarantee etc. shall
be outside the purview of IEMs.
8.12 However, the IEMs may suggest systemic improvements to the management of the Principal, if
considered necessary, to bring about transparency, equity and fairness in the system of
procurement.
8.13 The word `Monitor' would include both singular and plural.
9.1 This Integrity Pact shall be operative from the date this Integrity Pact is signed by both the parties
till the final completion of contract for successful Bidder, and for all other Bidders 6 months after
the Contract has been awarded. Any violation of the same would entail disqualification of the
bidders and exclusion from future business dealings.
9.2 If any claim is made/ lodged during currency of this Integrity Pact, the same shall be binding and
continue to be valid despite the lapse of this Pact as specified above, unless it is discharged/
determined by the CMD, BHEL.

10.1 This Integrity Pact is subject to Indian Laws and exclusive jurisdiction shall be of the competent
Courts as indicated in the Tender or Contract, as the case may be.
10.2 Changes and supplements as well as termination notices need to be made in writing.
10.3 If the Bidder(s)/ Contractor(s ) is a partnership or a consortium or a joint venture, this Integrity Pact
shall be signed by all partners of the partnership or joint venture or all consortium members.
10.4 Should one or several provisions of this Integrity Pact turn out to be invalid, the remainder of this
Integrity Pact remains valid. In this case, the parties will strive to come to an agreement to their
original intentions.
10.5 Only those bidders / contractors who have entered into this Integrity Pact with the Principal would
be competent to participate in the bidding. In other words, entering into this Integrity Pact would
be a preliminary qualification.
10.6 In the event of any dispute between the Principal and Bidder(s)/ Contractor(s) relating to the
Contract, in case, both the parties are agreeable, they may try to settle dispute through Mediation
before the panel of IEMs in a time bound manner. In case, the dispute remains unresolved even

of the Contract. The fees/expenses on dispute resolution through mediation shall be shared by both
the parties. Further, the mediation proceedings shall be confidential in nature and the parties shall
keep confidential all matters relating to the mediation proceedings including any settlement
agreement arrived at between the parties as outcome of mediation. Any views expressed,
suggestions, admissions or proposals etc. made by either party in the course of mediation shall not
be relied upon or introduced as evidence in any further arbitral or judicial proceedings, whether or
not such proceedings relate to the dispute that is the subject of mediation proceedings. Neither of
the parties shall present IEMs as witness in any Alternative Dispute Resolution or judicial
proceedings in respect of the dispute that was subject of mediation.
