REGISTRATION 1) Bidders are required to enroll on the e-Procurement module of the Central Public Procurement Portal (URL: https://eprocure.gov.in/eprocure/app) by clicking on the link “Online bidder Enrollment” on the CPP Portal which is free of charge. 2) As part of the enrolment process, the bidders will be required to choose a unique username and assign a password for their accounts. 3) Bidders are advised to register their valid email address and mobile numbers as part of the registration process. These would be used for any communication from the CPP Portal. 4) Upon enrolment, the bidders will be required to register their valid Digital Signature Certificate (Class II or Class III Certificates with signing key usage) issued by any Certifying Authority recognized by CCA India (e.g. Sify / nCode / eMudhra etc.), with their profile. 5) Only one valid DSC should be registered by a bidder. Please note that the bidders are responsible to ensure that they do not lend their DSC‟s to others which may lead to misuse. 6) Bidder then logs in to the site through the secured log-in by entering their user ID / password and the password of the DSC /e-Token.

SEARCHING FOR TENDER DOCUMENTS 1) There are various search options built in the CPP Portal, to facilitate bidders to search active tenders by several parameters. These parameters could include Tender ID, Organization Name, Location, Date, Value, etc. There is also an option of advanced search for tenders, wherein the bidders may combine a number of search parameters such as Organization Name, Form of Contract, Location, Date, Other keywords etc. to search for a tender published on the CPP Portal. 2) Once the bidders have selected the tenders they are interested in, they may download the required documents / tender schedules. These tenders can be moved to the respective “My Tenders” folder. This would enable the CPP Portal to intimate the bidders through SMS / e-mail in case there is any corrigendum issued to the tender document. 3) The bidder should make a note of the unique Tender ID assigned to each tender, in case they want to obtain any clarification / help from the Helpdesk.

PREPARATION OF BIDS 1) Bidder should take into account any corrigendum published on the tender document before submitting their bids. 2) Please go through the tender advertisement and the tender document carefully to understand the documents required to be submitted as part of the bid.

Bid documents may be scanned with 100 dpi with black and white option which helps in reducing size of the scanned document. 4) To avoid the time and effort required in uploading the same set of standard documents which are required to be submitted as a part of every bid, a provision of uploading such standard documents (e.g. PAN card copy, annual reports, auditor certificates etc.) has been provided to the bidders. Bidders can use “My Space” or ‟Other Important Documents” area available to them to upload such documents. These documents may be directly submitted from “My Space” area while submitting a bid, and need not be uploaded again and again. This will lead to a reduction in the time required for bid submission process.

Bidder will be responsible for any delay due to other issues. 2) The bidder has to digitally sign and upload the required bid documents one by one as indicated in the tender document. 3) Bidder has to select the payment option as “offline” to pay the tender fee / EMD as applicable and enter details of the instrument. 4) Bidder should prepare the EMD as per the instructions specified in the tender document. The original should be posted/couriered/given in person to the concerned official, latest by the last date of bid submission or as specified in the tender documents.

Otherwise the uploaded bid will be rejected. 5) Bidders are requested to note that they should necessarily submit their financial bids in the format provided in the BOQ format and no other format is acceptable. 6) The server time (which is displayed on the bidder’s dashboard) will be considered as the standard time for referencing the deadlines for submission of the bids by the Bidders, opening of bids etc. The bidders should follow this time during bid submission. 7) `All the documents being submitted by the bidders would be encrypted using PKI
