Procurement Contract Manager

Role: Procurement & Contracts Manager

Experience: 7–9 years

Location: New Delhi (on-site)

About the Role

SIDH currently operates through 23 vendor contracts across 16 suppliers. NeGD must consolidate these into 4 structured MSP contracts by March 2027. The Procurement & Contracts Manager owns the full procurement lifecycle on GeM and all contract management obligations.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage the end-to-end procurement process for all SIDH contracts on GeM — from scope design through RFP drafting, publication, evaluation, and award
• Draft and vet all four MSP RFPs (App Dev & Maintenance; Cloud & Infra; Call Centre; Cybersecurity/GRC)
• Maintain the complete contract register for all 23 existing and new contracts — tracking obligations, renewal dates, SLAs, and payment milestones
• Support budget tracking, payment verification, and utilisation certificate (UC) submissions in coordination with the Finance & Compliance Manager
• Ensure all procurement activity is compliant with GFR 2017, CVC guidelines, and GeM policies
• Coordinate with Department of Expenditure and GeM SPV on administrative and procedural matters
• Flag contract compliance risks, renewal deadlines, and audit observations to the Programme Director

What We Are Looking For

• GeM/GFR procurement experience is non-negotiable — must have hands-on experience drafting RFPs and managing contracts on GeM
• Understanding of government financial rules, CVC guidelines, and procurement compliance obligations
• Financially literate; comfortable maintaining budget trackers and reviewing payment schedules
• Experience managing multi-vendor contracts in a technology programme

Good to Have

• Exposure to large-scale IT procurement in government (MeitY, MEITY-adjacent or line ministry experience preferred)
• Familiarity with legal review and Ministry of Law vetting processes for government contracts
