Do I need contractor registration for small works tenders?
Many departments require contractor registration or enlistment even for small works, though some allow unregistered bidders for limited values. The rule differs by department. Check the eligibility clause before preparing the bid. Confirm in the tender document / NIT.
Where are miscellaneous works 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.
