Vendor Development Programme

MSME-Development Facilitation Office, Jammu along with  Union Ministry of MSME implements various schemes and activities for the benefit of MSME Sector in Jammu & Kashmir.

The Managing Director JKTPO informed the participants about the draft J&K Procurement preference policy 2024 for MSEs which is kept in public domain to seek consultation/comments from the stakeholders in line with Public Procurement Policy 2012.

The objectives of the VDP are promoting the PPP 2012. As per the policy all the government Departments & CPSUs are mandated to provide reservation in their procurement of materials and services from MSEs to the extent of 25% with sub target of 3% reservation for Women entrepreneurs and 4% reservation for SC/ST owned MSEs which is yet to be achieved by some PSUs.

Tender fees and EMD exemption are also eligible for MSEs who are registered in the Udyam portal. Udyam registration was introduced by the government for registration of MSEs on self-certification basis without any uploading of documents on www.udyamregistration.gov.in which is totally free. Presently Jammu & Kashmir has more than 4, 50,000 MSEs registered.

In the vendor development programme, various government departments and PSUs informed MSEs about their annual purchase plan to enable the latter to make informed decisions towards their production.
