Frequently asked questions

What documents are needed for vehicle hiring tenders?

Vehicle hiring tenders usually ask for registration certificates, fitness, permits, insurance and pollution certificates for the vehicles, plus driver licences. Some set a maximum vehicle age. The list is in the tender. Confirm in the tender document / NIT. Bid Nexa can check this against your specific tender before you bid.

Where are transport 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.
