Q2: What documents are required for submitting a bid for SAIL's HT Motor tender?
Bidders must prepare key documents such as a PAN Card, GSTIN registration certificate, canceled cheque or EFT Mandate, and GST invoice copy. Additionally, for OEM participation, a certificate indicating local content (if availing Make in India benefits) and MSE registration credentials are essential. The bid evaluation requires proper documentation for concepts like MSE/Make-in-India preferences. Scanning and uploading these documents in the portal during bid submission is crucial for compliance and ensuring eligibility. TenderAI can assist in compiling your document checklist and optimizing your submission.

Q3: How do MSE vendors benefit from the SAIL HT Motor tender?
MSE vendors can avail purchase preferences under the Public Procurement Policy for Micro and Small Enterprises. They should upload valid Udyam registration certificates and meet the local content criteria of at least 50% for Class 1 and 20% for Class 2 local suppliers. If eligible, MSEs quoted within 15-20% above the lowest bid can also participate in the reverse auction process, increasing their chance for award. TenderAI helps MSE vendors validate their credentials and prepare competitive bids, ensuring they properly leverage government procurement policies for maximum benefit.
