Frequently asked questions

What licence is needed to supply pesticides to the government?

Pesticides must be registered under the Insecticides Act, and suppliers need a licence to manufacture or sell. Tenders often ask for the registration certificate and batch test reports. Check that your licence covers the product. Confirm in the tender document / NIT.

Where are pesticide 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 pesticide 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.
