    "content": "Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, clause 45 of the Bill be amended – (a) in sub-clause (4) by inserting the words “on the website of the Ministry,” immediately after the words “of thirty days”; (b) by inserting the following new sub-clause immediately after sub-clause (4) – (4A) The Cabinet Secretary shall, in the notice published under subsection (4) – (a) set out a statement of the details of the contractor with whom the Cabinet Secretary intends to enter into direct negotiations; (b) invite any objections that a person may have with respect to the intended negotiations; and (c) invite any interested party who may have an interest in the block to submit a bid with respect to that block. (c) by inserting the following new sub-clauses immediately after sub-clause (5) – (5A) The Cabinet Secretary shall inform all the bidders of the bidder to whom a block has been awarded. (5B) The Cabinet Secretary shall, upon concluding negotiations under this section, publish a notice on the website of the Ministry, in the Gazette and in at least two newspapers of national circulation, information with respect to the contractor to whom the Cabinet Secretary has awarded a block and the outcome of such negotiations. The committee proposes to amend sub-clause (4) of Clause 45 of the Bill to provide for publication of the notice of intended direct negotiations with a contractor on the Ministry’s website in addition to the requirement for publication in the gazette notice and in two newspapers of national circulation. This is intended to ensure that as many persons as possible are informed of the decisions to enter into direct negotiations, particularly in view of the fact that bidders and members of the public outside the country may be interested in the information to be published. This will, therefore, ensure that as many people as possible are informed of the decision of the Cabinet Secretary."
