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. Bid Nexa can check this against your specific tender before you bid.

Where are repair and maintenance 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.
