Bidrove summary — not the buyer’s wording

AI Bid Advisor

No recommended bid for this tender — and that's deliberate

GeM runs this as a reverse auction. The buyer never publishes an estimated contract value — bidders compete downward in a live round instead. There is no official figure to work from, so we don't invent one. A recommended bid built on a guessed value would look precise and be worthless.

How to price a reverse auction

Work out your floor first, before the round opens. Materials, labour, transport, GST, the EMD you have tied up, and your overhead. In a live auction there is no time to calculate — the only number that protects you is one you decided in advance.
Price the quantity, not the tender. GeM lists an exact quantity and specification. Cost one unit properly, multiply, then add delivery and any inspection or installation the specification requires.
Check the EMD. Earnest money is usually a small percentage of what the buyer expects to spend, so it is often the only public hint at the scale of the contract. Here it is ₹1,50,000.
Decide your walk-away number and hold it. Reverse auctions are designed to pull the price down. Winning below your floor is worse than not winning — you carry the delivery risk and the penalty clauses either way.
Read the eligibility conditions in the tender document before you bid. A disqualified bid costs the EMD and the effort, whatever the price was.
