e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
Register the procuring entity on the GeM portal using a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) and generate a unique Bid ID for the driver recruitment service requirement.
Conduct a pre-bid clarification meeting to address vendor queries regarding scope, shift timings, and statutory compliance, ensuring all clarifications are uploaded as corrigenda on the portal.
Bidders must submit a two-cover bid system: Cover 1 containing technical credentials, statutory documents, and experience certificates, and Cover 2 containing the financial BoQ for price evaluation.
The technical committee evaluates bids against pre-qualification criteria. Qualified bidders proceed to the financial opening stage where the lowest responsive bidder (L1) is identified via the GeM system.
Upon successful financial evaluation and approval by the competent authority, the procuring entity issues a formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the L1 bidder to initiate service commencement.
