submitting their bids.

 Please go through the EoI advertisement and the EoI document carefully to understand

the documents required to be submitted as part of the bid. Please note the number of

covers in which the bid documents have to be submitted, the number of documents -
including the names and content of each of the document that need to be submitted. Any
deviations from these may lead to rejection of the bid.
 Bidder, in advance, should get ready the bid documents to be submitted as indicated in
the EoI document / schedule and generally, they can be in PDF / XLS / RAR /
DWF/JPG formats. Bid documents may be scanned with 100 dpi with black and white
option which helps in reducing size of the scanned document.
 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 and keep it as a
repository.
Note: My Documents space is only a repository given to the Bidders to ease the uploading
process. If Bidder has uploaded his Documents in My Documents space, this does not
automatically ensure these Documents being part of Technical Bid.

4. Submission of Bids

 Bidder should log into the site well in advance for bid submission so that they can

upload the bid in time i.e. on or before the bid submission time. Bidder will be

responsible for any delay due to other issues.

 The bidder has to digitally sign and upload the required bid documents one by one as

indicated in the EoI document.

 Bidder has to select the payment option as “offline” to pay the EoI fee/EMD as

applicable and enter details of the instrument.

 Bidder should prepare the EMD as per the instructions specified in the EoI 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 EoI documents. The details of

the DD/any other accepted instrument, physically sent, should tally with the details

available in the scanned copy and the data entered during bid submission time.

Otherwise the uploaded bid will be rejected.

 Bidders are requested to note that they should necessarily submit their financial bids in

the format provided and no other format is acceptable. If the price bid has been given as

a standard BoQ format with the EoI document, then the same is to be downloaded and to

be filled by all the bidders. Bidders are required to download the BoQ file, open it and

complete the white coloured (unprotected) cells with their respective financial quotes

and other details (such as name of the bidder). No other cells should be changed. Once

the details have been completed, the bidder should save it and submit it online, without

changing the filename. If the BoQ file is found to be modified by the bidder, the bid will

be rejected.

 The server time (which is displayed on the bidders’ 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.

 All the documents being submitted by the bidders would be encrypted using PKI

encryption techniques to ensure the secrecy of the data. The data entered cannot be

viewed by unauthorized persons until the time of bid opening. The confidentiality of the

bids is maintained using the secured Socket Layer 128 bit encryption technology. Data

storage encryption of sensitive fields is done. Any bid document that is uploaded to the

server is subjected to symmetric encryption using a system generated symmetric key.

Further this key is subjected to asymmetric encryption using buyers/bid openers’ public

keys. Overall, the uploaded EoI documents become readable only after the EoI opening

by the authorized bid openers.

 The uploaded EoI documents become readable only after the EoI opening by the

authorized bid openers.

 Upon the successful and timely submission of bids (ie after Clicking “Freeze Bid

Submission” in the portal), the portal will give a successful bid submission message & a

bid summary will be displayed with the bid no. and the date & time of submission of the

bid with all other relevant details.
 The bid summary has to be printed and kept as an acknowledgement of the submission
of the bid. This acknowledgement may be used as an entry pass for any bid opening
meetings.
