Read the guideThe terms in every NIT, RFP and GeM bid, in plain English, for bidders and buyers alike.
An NIT (Notice Inviting Tender) is the official announcement of a tender, giving the work, key dates, fees, EMD and who is eligible to bid.
A BOQ (Bill of Quantities) is the itemised list of work or supplies in a tender, with quantities and units, against which bidders quote rates.
EMD (Earnest Money Deposit) is a refundable security a bidder pays with a tender bid to show serious intent, forfeited if they break bid terms.
L1 is the bidder with the lowest evaluated price among technically qualified bids, usually the one awarded the contract in a lowest-price tender.
QCBS (Quality and Cost Based Selection) is an evaluation method where the winner is chosen on a combined score of technical quality and price.
A corrigendum is an official notice that changes or corrects a published tender, such as new dates, revised specifications or an updated BOQ.
A reverse auction is an online bidding event where qualified sellers lower their prices in real time, and the lowest price at the close wins.
A PBG (Performance Bank Guarantee) is a bank guarantee the winning bidder gives the buyer as security that the contract will be carried out properly.
What these tender and GeM resources cover, what is coming next and how QuickBid fits in.
These tender and GeM resources cover four things: tools for tender bidders such as the GeM manpower cost calculator, a tender glossary of more than 70 terms, articles for government buyers on tender evaluation and documents, and GeM bidding guides for suppliers on bid / no-bid decisions, reading tender documents and AI bid automation.
Use the GeM manpower cost calculator. Enter the minimum wage for the state and skill level, and it adds EPF, EDLI, admin charges, ESIC, bonus, any leave or gratuity, your service charge and GST, then gives a per-person monthly rate and a price breakup you can download.
Yes. The guide How to Read a Tender Document and Review an RFP Faster ends with one: every form, declaration, certificate and annexure required, who owns it and when it is due. QuickBid produces that checklist automatically from the full document set.
The guides and tools explain the steps; QuickBid automates them, discovering tenders, assessing RFPs for eligibility and compliance, surfacing historical bid insights and generating submission-ready bids. QuickProcure does the same for buyers, from drafting to evaluation and award.
