Comprehensive Guidelines on Outsourcing of Functions and Functioneries
I REQUISITION OF OUTSOURCED SERVICES
There are two types of outsourcing of support services. The first one is outsourcing of

functions, and the second one is outsourcing of functionaries. The outsourcing functionaries should be avoided to the extent possible.

(a) Outsourcing of Services:
(1) A Department may outsource the function, e.g., Catering, housekeeping,

security etc. to a service provider agency for a fixed period of time for a mutually negotiated amount. Accordingly, the service provider agency will engage a certain number of personnel and deploy equipment to meet the specific standards prescribed for that function in the contract. In this case, the functionaries continue to be the employees of the service provider agency during, and even after, their assignment with the Department/Organization. The charges/remuneration for these services will be Provided by the service provider/agency.

(2) The core functions should not be outsourced and should be carried out by the

regular employees.

(b) Outsourcing of functionaries :
(1) The department may requisition the services of a certain number

functionaries, to support its employees to carry out their mandate. The functionaries could be Office subordinates, office assistants at junior clerical level with Word Processing skills, Computer Operators, Drivers etc for a specific period. The service provider/agency selects and employs the functionaries as per the requirements of the job and places their services at the disposal of the Department/Organization for a fixed amount. However, the functionaries continue to be the employees of the service agency during and after their assignment with the Department.

(2) The outsourcing of functionaries should be only against the sanctioned post.

These should be initial recruitment posts and promotional posts should not be outsourced. The remuneration for these functionaries will be paid by the service provider/agency.

II. SELECTION OF SERVICE PROVIDERS
(1) The process of the selection of service providers shall be by following due

tender process.

(2) The selection shall be in a transparent and competitive method.
(3) The tender document shall contain the description of the service requisitioned

clearly indicating the deliverables, milestones. In case of functionaries it shall contain the requirements such as qualifications and qualities of functionaries to be provided with proficiency requirements clearly specified.

(1) The contract shall specify the nature and quality standards of the service

required from the agency and the number of persons in various categories with their respective qualifications and experience, the equipment and other consumables to be supplied by the agency, the time period of the contract, the rates of payment prescribed for various functions and functionaries and the penalties for various types of likely defaults in satisfactory rendering of the services.

prescribed equipment, consumables and number of persons with proper qualifications and training are deployed by the service provider at all times in accordance with the outsourcing contract.

(3) The departments shall also reserve the right to demand change of

equipment/personnel if their services are not found to be satisfactory, in addition to levying penalties as per the terms and conditions of the contract.

(4) If the service continues to be unsatisfactory, the Department/ competent

authority shall exercise its right to not only recover damages but also to terminate the contract and replace the service provider with an agency kept in the reserve from the tender process.

IV CONSIDERATION FOR SERVICE PROVIDERS FOR FUNCTIONERIES
(1) The service providers be paid a commission not more than 5% of the

remuneration paid to the functionaries. The remuneration paid to the service provider is exclusive of the remuneration provided to the functionaries.

case may be, shall be competent to enter into a written agreement with a registered service provider agency, which holds a valid licence under the Contract Labour Act issued by the competent authority, to provide the contract labour and has sufficient experience to render the relevant services.

(2) The department shall also keep at least two more service providers in reserve,

on the same terms and conditions, to step in at short notice if the selected service provider defaults in providing satisfactory service, and the contract has to be terminated

(3) No outsourcing contract shall be for a period of more than one year. Subject

to the need and justification, and satisfaction of the competent authority, such contracts may be extended on mutually agreed terms for one year at a time,

subject to the condition that the total period of the contract shall not exceed

three years at a time. At the end of three years, the Department shall necessarily go through the whole process of calling fresh tenders, giving equal opportunity to other service provider agencies.

(4) While entering into contract, the department should ensure that the service

provider possess proper licence from the Labour Department and check the antecedents of the Service Provider.

VI ACCOUNTING OF EXPENDITURE
(1) The expenditure on outsourcing of functions (services) shall be debited to

sub-detailed heads ‘300 – Other Contractual services.

(2) Usual treasury control shall apply and therefore, all departments shall ensure

that adequate provisions are made in their budgets to meet the costs.
