Frequently asked questions

How can a small business win stationery tenders?

Stationery tenders suit small businesses because the items are standard. Register on the right portals, check delivery terms and price carefully against the specification. MSE benefits may apply in some tenders. Confirm in the tender document / NIT. Bid Nexa can check this against your specific tender before you bid.

Where are stationery 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.
