Q2: What are the eligibility criteria for participating in the Indian Army maintenance tender in 2025?
Eligibility requires that your company is registered as a CPSE or DPSU vendor, as the bid is reserved solely for such participants. You must have at least 3 years of experience in supplying similar maintenance items—such as adhesives, abrasives, paints, and cleaning materials—to government organizations. OEMs should demonstrate an annual turnover of Rs. 2 lakh or more over the last three years, supported by audited balance sheets or chartered accountant certificates. MSEs with Udyam registration benefit from purchase preferences and price advantages, provided they are validated in your GeM profile. Resellers are not eligible for direct government purchase benefits. Ensure all documents are uploaded correctly for evaluation. For detailed eligibility, visit the official tender notice or consult with TenderAI, and prepare your supporting documents accordingly.

Q3: How can small manufacturers and MSMEs benefit from government tenders like the Maint of ESTR Store in 2025?
MSMEs can benefit significantly through procurement preferences offered under policies like the Public Procurement Policy for Micro and Small Enterprises. They must have valid Udyam Registration, which, when validated online, allows access to purchase quotas, price band advantages, and the opportunity to match L1 bids (lowest bid) for a portion of the supply (up to 25%). To avail of these benefits, upload the necessary Udyam certificates and consistent past performance evidence, such as supply certificates to government agencies. Participating as an OEM enhances chances for preference; resellers are ineligible. The policy aims to foster small businesses, build their technical capacity, and secure long-term government contracts. Remember, complete and accurate documentation improves success prospects—use TenderAI services for support.
