Frequently asked questions

What equipment is needed for road construction tenders?

Road tenders commonly ask for access to plant such as a hot mix plant, paver, rollers and tippers, owned or on hire. Some also set a maximum distance from the site. The list depends on the scope and value. Confirm in the tender document / NIT.

Where are road construction tenders published?

State departments use their state e-procurement portals, central ministries and public sector units use CPPP (eprocure.gov.in), and many goods and services are bought on GeM. Each tender notice names the portal, the buyer and the closing date, so check the notice before you prepare documents.
