Answer:- Thankyou very much for writing to us! As per your query, Rule 42 (b) of Public Procurement Rules, 2004 says that a procuring agency shall engage in Request for Quotations method of procurement only if the cost of object of procurement is below the prescribed limit of one hundred thousand rupees. Minimum three quotations are required to be obtained of the object having standard specifications. The object is to be purchased from the supplier offering the lowest price. If the cost of object increase the prescribed limit, then open competitive method is to be adopted. Hope this will help you!
