Tender results, including technical bid evaluation and financial bid opening, are published on the UT e-tender portal against the original tender or NIT number.

What's the difference between manual and e-tenders in Chandigarh?

Manual tenders require physical submission of bid documents to the issuing office, while e-tenders are submitted entirely online through the UT portal using a registered Digital Signature Certificate.

State Guide

How Chandigarh Tenders Work

The Chandigarh e-tender portal is the UT's central e-procurement system, but the Engineering Department, Municipal Corporation, and Electricity Department also publish tenders through it under their own department codes. Central tenders located in Chandigarh (CPWD works are common here given the UT's administrative-hub status) run through a separate central portal, not the Chandigarh UT system — worth being explicit about since Chandigarh hosts a lot of central government offices.

MSME (Udyam) Preference in Chandigarh Tenders

Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) with valid Udyam registration are exempt from paying EMD on most Chandigarh UT tenders under GFR Rule 170 and the Public Procurement Policy for MSEs, 2012. Departments must also source at least 25% of annual procurement from MSEs, with sub-targets of 4% for SC/ST-owned and 3% for women-owned enterprises. The Udyam certificate must be submitted with the technical bid.
