Frequently asked questions

Is BIS mandatory for construction materials in government tenders?

Many construction materials, such as cement and certain steel products, are covered by mandatory BIS certification. Tenders also often ask for BIS-marked material in the specification. Check the product's current status with BIS and read the technical specification of the tender. Confirm in the tender document / NIT.

Where are civil construction goods tenders published?

State departments publish on their state e-procurement portals, central offices on CPPP (eprocure.gov.in), and many goods and services are bought on GeM. The tender notice names the portal and the buyer.

Can BidNexa help with civil construction goods tenders?

Yes. Bid Nexa checks eligibility, prepares documents and reviews your bid before you submit it yourself. We are independent and not affiliated with any portal or buyer.
