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 facility management & cleaning notices we currently hold for India, the most common form is the open tender or invitation to bid, followed by expression of interest and request for proposal. 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.

Facility-services tenders are labour-intensive and are usually awarded on price among firms that clear a compliance threshold. That threshold is the real barrier: statutory registrations, provident fund and insurance compliance for deployed staff, minimum-wage adherence and, increasingly, evidence of police verification and training. Margins are thin, so the decisive factors are accurate manpower costing including statutory add-ons, realistic attrition assumptions, and whether the contract passes through wage revisions during its term.

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