Frequently asked questions

How are consultancy tenders evaluated?

Many consultancy tenders use quality and cost based selection, where the technical score and the financial bid are combined with set weights. Some use least cost or fixed budget methods. The method and the weights are stated in the tender. Confirm in the tender document / NIT.

Where are consultancy tenders published?

State departments use their state e-procurement portals, central ministries and public sector units use CPPP (eprocure.gov.in), and many goods and services are bought on GeM. Each tender notice names the portal, the buyer and the closing date, so check the notice before you prepare documents.
