Frequently asked questions
Are samples required for furniture tenders?
Many furniture tenders ask for samples or a pre-dispatch inspection to check material, finish and dimensions against the specification. Rejected samples can lead to disqualification. Read the sample clause and timeline carefully. Confirm in the tender document / NIT.
Where are furniture 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.
