How they buy

Indian public procurement runs through several parallel systems rather than one. Central ministries and most states publish on GePNIC-based e-procurement portals (eprocure.gov.in and its state equivalents), commodity and service purchases increasingly go through the Government e-Marketplace (GeM), and large public sector undertakings — power utilities, coal and mining companies, oil marketing companies, railways — operate their own portals. Municipal bodies, development authorities and universities publish independently again, which is why a supplier watching only one portal sees a fraction of the market.

Across the capacity building & technical assistance notices we currently hold for India, the most common form is the request for proposal, followed by open tender or invitation to bid and corrigendum. Each has its own rules — see RFP, RFQ and EOI compared and tendering procedures explained.

What qualifies you

Bidding almost always requires a Class III digital signature certificate, registration on the relevant portal, GST and PAN details, and audited accounts for the turnover test. Most works tenders set prior-experience thresholds expressed as completed similar works of a stated value within the last three to seven years. Registered micro and small enterprises can claim exemptions from earnest money and tender fees, and a share of central procurement is reserved for them — but the claim must be made in the bid with the Udyam certificate attached.

Capacity-building contracts place named advisers alongside a counterpart institution, so evaluation focuses on individual expertise, relevant country or regional experience and language ability — CVs frequently carry more weight than the corporate profile. Assignments may be long-term embedded placements or a series of short inputs, and the deliverable is a strengthened institution rather than a product, which makes the measurement approach an important part of the proposal. Read the terms carefully for who the adviser reports to, what decision-making authority they do and do not have, and whether counterpart staff time and facilities are provided; assignments fail more often on unclear counterpart commitment than on the quality of the technical input.

Before committing effort, it is worth running a deliberate bid/no-bid decision and checking your submission against the responsiveness checklist.
