Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between supply and works tenders?

Supply tenders are for delivering goods to the buyer, while works tenders are for building or installing something at site. Eligibility and documents differ: works usually need contractor registration, while supply needs product and dealer documents. Confirm in the tender document / NIT.

Where are supply of materials 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.
