1 Oct 2026Rural Development Department Uttar Pradesh has invited bids for canteen Service - Best Price on Fixed Menu Rate Model - Vegetarian, Breakfast, Lunch +2 More, in All India.
The work is worth about ₹60,00,000 (a value we've confirmed against this tender's portal page). As a rough guide, typical supply & goods costs would run near ₹52,20,000, leaving roughly ₹4,20,000–₹9,60,000 (7–16%) — but that's a category estimate, not this tender's actual costs, so price from the official BOQ before you bid. You'll need to block ₹60,000 as a refundable deposit (EMD) to bid, returned if you don't win.
A comfortable enough margin on our estimate, which makes it worth pursuing.
Bidrove summary — not the buyer’s wording
You cannot bid from here — government bids are filed on the portal itself, and the portal will not take a link straight to this tender. This is where it lives, and what to search for once you are there — on Government e-Marketplace (GeM).
The link opens Bid Listing — every live bid on GeM, newest first.
The search box sits above the list, on the right.

Create a free bidder account on the portal where this tender is published. Use your firm's PAN and email. If you already have an account, just log in.
Get a Class-3 Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)
You cannot submit a government bid online without a DSC. Buy a Class-3 DSC from a licensed certifying authority (takes 1–2 days) and register it on the portal.
Keep your documents ready
Check the official tender notice for the exact document checklist (eligibility proofs, EMD receipt, experience certificates, etc.), and scan each as a clear PDF before you start — you'll upload them during bid submission.
Arrange the EMD of ₹60,000
Pay the Earnest Money Deposit (₹60,000) online via the portal's payment gateway or as specified in the tender. It's refundable if you don't win. Check if your MSME/Udyam registration gives you an EMD exemption.
Study the BOQ and prepare your price
Download the Bill of Quantities (BOQ) from the tender, fill your rates carefully, and cross-check totals. Use the profit estimate on this page as a sanity check — quote competitively but don't go below cost.
Fill the technical & financial bid
Complete the technical bid (your eligibility, documents, experience) and the financial bid (your price/BOQ) in the portal's forms. Double-check every figure.
Submit & sign before 12 October 2026
Upload all documents, attach your priced BOQ, sign with your DSC and submit. Do it at least a day early — portals get slow near the deadline. After 12 October 2026, submission closes.
Tender notices are written in their own shorthand. These are the terms that decide whether you can bid at all.
