Forward your tender alerts and NIT PDFs. AI reads each notice and makes the checklist. Deadlines, EMDs and bank guarantees go into one tracker, with WhatsApp and call reminders before anything is due. You still sign and submit every bid yourself.

Sound familiar?
Winning starts with not missing anything.
01
Five portals, one notebook
Central, state, railway and PSU portals each have their own login and search, and most searches ask for a CAPTCHA.
02
Long NITs, different rules
One department asks for 3 similar works of 40%, another for 2 of 60%. Turnover can be 30% or 50%.
03
Changes you hear about late
A corrigendum goes up on the portal. Unless you check again, or the portal alerts you, you may not see it.
04
Money stuck in deposits
EMDs, performance securities and bank guarantees across many bids, each with its own expiry and refund date.

The rules we track
Central rules, in plain words.
These come from the General Financial Rules 2017 and the Finance Ministry's Manual for Procurement of Works (2025). States, PSUs and each NIT can differ, so we always read your NIT.

| EMD (bid security) | Ordinarily 2% to 5% of the estimated value | GFR 2017, Rule 170; Works Manual 2025, 5.1.1 |
| How long the EMD must stay valid | 45 days beyond the bid validity period | GFR 2017, Rule 170 |
| EMD back, if you don't win | No later than 30 days after the award | GFR 2017, Rule 170(ii) |
| Performance security on works | 3% to 10% of the contract value | GFR 2017, Rule 171; Works Manual 2025, 5.1.2 |

Who does what
We keep track. You bid.
What we take on
- Reading NITs and corrigenda, and making checklists
- One tracker for dates, EMDs, bank guarantees and documents
- Reminders to you on WhatsApp, and a call if something's close
- Requests to your CA and bank for certificates, after your OK
- Draft refund and extension letters for you to send
What stays with you
- You sign and submit every bid with your own Class III DSC. We never hold your DSC.
- You enter your rates in the BOQ. We can check for empty cells, but the file stays yours.
- We don't scrape portals or get around CAPTCHAs. We work from the alerts you already get.
- Certificates come from your CA and bank. We ask for them; we can't issue them. (Your CA might like our CA firms page.)
- We can't speed up a department's refund. We make sure it isn't forgotten.
Questions
What contractors ask us.
Will you submit bids for us?
No. Bids are signed with the bidder's own digital signature, and the central portal's instructions tell bidders not to lend their DSC to anyone. We get everything ready; you submit.
Can you find every tender in India?
No, and be careful with anyone who says so. We work from the alerts you already get (portal emails, GeM notifications and any paid alert service you use) and sort them for you.
Which states and portals?
Any portal whose alerts or NITs you can forward to us. Rules differ by state and department, so the AI reads each NIT instead of assuming.
Do you work with GeM bids?
Yes. We can read GeM bid alerts and track your GeM bids in the same tracker.
Is our bid data safe?
It stays in your accounts. We don't need your rates or BOQs to run the tracker.
Try it on your next five tenders.
Book a 30-minute call. Forward one recent NIT and we'll show you the checklist we'd make from it.
