Introduction
NPIU was established by Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, in August
1990 for coordination, facilitation, monitoring and to provide guidance to the States/ Institutions in all
aspects of the projects.
Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme (TEQIP) was envisaged in 2003 as a long-term
programme to be implemented in 3 phases for transformation of the technical education system with
World Bank assistance. TEQIP-II is planned as a sequel to TEQIP-I to continue the development activities
initiated by TEQIP-I. Under TEQIP-II, estimate of around 200 institutions from all over the country will be
selected to achieve the following objectives:
Strengthening Institutions to produce high quality engineers for better employability
Scaling up PG education and demand driven Research & Development and Innovation
Establishing Centers of Excellence for focused applicable research
Training of faculty for effective Teaching
Enhancing Institutional and System Management effectiveness
To achieve the objectives of the programme, the institutions will be funded for various activities covered
under the programme by the World Bank through the Government of India. Substantial portion of these
funds will be used to procure various good, services, and works (civil works) by the participating
institutions. All procurement under the TEQIP-II programme will be carried out in accordance with the
World Bank guidelines, failing which, could result in penalties.
The PMSS will be used to support and monitor the procurement activities of the institutions, which are
selected for the project. PMSS will help the procurement activities by reducing time, standardizing the
processes, ensuring transparency, support decision making and compliance with agreed norms. Apart
from the institutions, PMSS will also be used by the SPFUs (State Project Facilitation Unit) and NPIU
(National Project Implementation Unit) for procurement as well as monitoring activities.
