Sir,
With reference to the above mentioned subject, this is to inform you that Commercial
Tax Department has given approval to extend the services of two senior consultants of GST
Consultant M/s PwC Pvt. Ltd. at the pre-determined rate for a period of one year (11 th July 2022
to 10th July 2023) (ref.: Department letter).
This is to bring to your attention, BSEDC has selected M/s PwC as per the scope of work
and manpower requirement mentioned in the ToR/RFP. Recent resources which you have
suggested for the proposed position are not meeting the Department's requirement. Therefore,
please share other CVs with Department for further interview.
We are extremely disappointed to inform you that, M/s PwC has not informed the
Department prior in written regarding unavailability of one of the resources namely Mr. Manoj
Shaw. This type of negligence is not accepted from reputed firms like yours. Please make sure
that, this should not be repeated in future. Also, Department has informed us that, other
resource namely Mr. Rajeev Kumar has also resigned on 11th Nov 2022. Therefore, kindly share
the CV in lieu of Mr. Rajeev Kumar with Department for evaluation.
Considering the criticality of the project, kindly share other CVs with department against
replacement of Mr. Manoj Shaw along with deployment of required number of resources as per
the requirement. Also, make sure all deliverables/day to day activities as per agreed scope of
work should be delivered.
Thanking you,
Enclosure: As above
