Frequently asked questions
What is a comprehensive maintenance contract?
A comprehensive maintenance contract usually covers labour and spares for repairs during the contract period, while a non-comprehensive one covers labour only. The difference has a large effect on price. Read the scope carefully. Confirm in the tender document / NIT.
Where are repair and maintenance 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 repair and maintenance 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.
