2014

PREFACE

The Public Works Department Code, Volume I and II, which was meant to be guidance for officers of the Department, originally came into force as per Notification No. PWD 32 MS 65 Bangalore, dated 17.10.1965. The activities of the Department have increased considerably over years and a number of amendments to the code have also been issued from time to time. The Public Accounts Committee had recommended that the Departmental Code should be revised in keeping with the manifold activities of the

Department.

The World Bank had taken up review of India procurement environment to prepare the Country Procurement Assessment Report (CPAR) in cooperation with the Government of India and a few selected States to evaluate how their procurement system operates. Karnataka was one of the three States selected for the study. The CPAR became the basis for dialogue with Government of India and the Bank to explore ways in which systems could be strengthened and improved. The revision of the Departmental code was one of the recommendations of the Report. In view of the above, and also the PPP initiatives of the Government of India and mandate on Environment clearances for major projects, the existing Departmental Code has been revised (in single volume) incorporating the PPP, Environmental Impact Assessment and Management, present system of payment through Treasury to contractors, e-procurement, provisions of KTPP Act & Rules and other recent pertinent subjects.
