e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

1

Register the procuring entity and bidders on the GeM portal or CPPP using valid Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) to ensure secure authentication and compliance with electronic procurement guidelines for government tenders.

2

Conduct a pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, and eligibility concerns, ensuring all prospective bidders receive uniform information through formal corrigendum uploads on the official procurement portal.

3

Submit the two-cover bid comprising a technical proposal detailing organizational capacity and a commercial BoQ, ensuring all documents are uploaded before the deadline to prevent automatic system-based bid rejection.

4

Perform the commercial BoQ financial opening for technically qualified bidders, where the lowest responsive bidder (L1) is identified based on the total evaluated cost inclusive of all applicable taxes and duties.

5

Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, initiating the contract signing process, submission of the Performance Bank Guarantee, and subsequent mobilization of resources for the recruitment project.
