Digitizing CSIR Purchase Governance
Through an Integrated Procurement Platform
About CSIR Purchase Software(CPS)
The CSIR Purchase Software(CPS) is a comprehensive, in-house digital
solution developed by the CAD-IT Unit, CSIR to bring transparency,
efficiency and accountability to the entire procurement ecosystem.
The platform is designed to centrally manage and monitor all purchase
activities across CSIR laboratories and units.
The system covers the complete purchase lifecycle — from indent creation,
role-based approvals and fund mapping to tender processing,
purchase order generation and final audit.
Every transaction is digitally tracked with clear visibility of funding
sources, approval hierarchies, timelines and compliance requirements.
With built-in reporting and MIS dashboards, the platform enables
data-driven decision-making, real-time status monitoring and
audit-ready documentation — ensuring effective governance and
streamlined procurement operations across CSIR.
