e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
Procuring entity registers the tender on the GeM portal or CPPP, ensuring digital signature certificates (DSC) are valid for all authorized signatories to initiate the electronic procurement process seamlessly.
A pre-bid clarification meeting is conducted to address technical queries from prospective bidders, ensuring transparency and providing necessary amendments or corrigenda to the tender document before the submission deadline.
Bidders submit a two-cover system consisting of a technical bid containing credentials and a commercial bid containing the price, ensuring no financial details are disclosed within the technical cover.
The technical committee evaluates bids based on pre-defined criteria; qualified bidders proceed to the commercial BoQ opening, where the lowest responsive bidder (L1) is identified for potential contract award.
Upon successful evaluation and approval by the competent authority, a formal Letter of Award (LoA) is issued to the L1 bidder, initiating the contract signing and subsequent project commencement.
