In order to support its project procurement, SAIL today signed a contract with mjunction services
limited to roll out its e-procurement platform, mjPRO, across all the five ISPs for their project buys.
SAIL has selected mjPRO through an open tender for implementation of an e-tendering solution for
its project buys on a digital platform providing easy access to its global vendors to quote.
The contract was signed in Bhilai today in presence of Shri Anirban Dasgupta, Director I/c (BSP),
Shri RK Srivastava, Actg. ED (Projects), Shri Anurag Upadhyay, CGM (Projects-Commercial), Shri
Unmesh Bhardwaj CGM(Projects), and Mr Vinaya Varma, MD, mjunction.
According to mjunction MD Mr Vinaya Varma, “Through mjPRO, we expect to bring in speed to
SAIL Project tenders, connect to vendors globally and efficiently address the challenging task of
finalising the Project tenders in short cycle times.” mjPRO will also help SAIL to make the
necessary decisions leading to finalisation of Purchase Orders for projects much easier, he added.
mjPRO is a Cloud-based platform and comes with wide configurability which ensures that every
unique need of users is met; it is secure, scalable, modular and easy to use. It addresses key concerns
of organisations such as access to new and credible suppliers, analytics and insights for decision-
making, convenience of usage and integration with ERP systems. It can accommodate complex
RFQ terms, multiple currencies and diverse evaluation criteria. It also provides access to registered
vendors after due validation with procurement analytics and configurable dashboards that provide
insights for timely decision making.
The project is expected to go-live within three months across five integrated steel plants of SAIL
with connectivity with SAIL’s in-house consultant CET and Corporate Office.
