Introduction / Intention:
CESU has given its fourteen distribution divisions to distribution franchisee under
BOT [Input Based Franchisee with Incremental Revenue Share (IBF-IRS)] Model to
three distribution franchisee (in short “DF”) i.e. M/s Enzen Global Solutions Pvt. Ltd.,
Feedback Energy Distribution Company Ltd. & Riverside Utilities Pvt. Ltd./ Seaside
Utilities Pvt. Ltd. As per the distribution franchisee agreement (in short “DFA”). The
copy of DFA is available in CESU web site www.cescoorissa.com and as per the article
12.2 of distribution franchisee agreement (DFA); there is a requirement of
conducting the Third party Audit. CESU & Distribution Franchisee have mutually
decided to lift out the said audit from the date of take-over of the respective
distribution divisions by the distribution franchisee upto 31st March’2015 as per the
scope of works. One Third Party Audit Committee (in short “TPAC”) chaired by Chief
Finance Officer, CESU is constituted with the officers from CESU & Distribution
Franchisee to look after the selection of responsive firms & other associated works.
One firm can apply for all clusters but will be awarded with one cluster only
consisting of minimum three & maximum four divisions subject to choice of the firm
and discretion of TPAC. The selection of firms for Third party Audits will be based on
two part evaluation basing on the Firm’s qualifying criteria – marks/point based & the
lowest price quoted for conducting the audit of the cluster. Each division’s consumer
strength, financial transaction, date of take-over of business/period of audit is
different; hence the firms should see the same before quoting their price for the
cluster. The brief division wise details under each cluster .
