all active subcontracts, details of private tenders,

The procedure for posting a contract or bidding on an existing one is entirely different. So, to bid for a tender, you will need to create an account on BidAssist. You can, then, search for a specific offer and make your claim on it through bidding. 

If you have an SME, be sure to use our sorting system to your advantage. For instance, most of the low-amount contracts are ideal for beginners, as they have a requirement of low labour. You can also check out the contract period in “tender details” to have an idea about it. If a tender comes with a substantial contract period, it might require more manpower than usual.

Posting a contract on BidAssist usually requires you to log in to your account and upload details on your organization on the website. After you become verified by the website, you can, then, post your tender and add your own requirements. 

Be sure to fill up details like contract period, tender amount, need for the number of laborers, etc. This way, it will be easier for our clients to find you out amongst the crowd.

Some of the benefits for choosing BidAssist as your contract publishing platform are –

●   You can offer your contracts to a plethora of bidders without paying any fee.

●   You will be able to connect with more than one million SMEs in your region and beyond.

●    All of the responses you will get are verified by BidAssist. Therefore, you won’t have to worry about cheating or fraud.

●  You can choose your required business categories and create a personalized contract from scratch.

You can find a searching module at the top section of BidAssist’s homepage. You can type in the name of the tender here and click on the “search” button to find whatever you want for your purpose.  You can also use the dropdown menu to choose the category and make your results more precise.

After searching, a new page will open where all of your results will be waiting for you to explore. In the following section, we’ll be discussing the common sorting options found in global, Indian, and tender results. 

However, the former comes with some additional alternatives as well, which will be talked about later.

●  Closing Date and Created Date: Each tender comes with a separate “created date” and “closing date”. So, you can sort the results by using these options as well. Usually, the “closing date” of a tender carries more importance than the other.
