How to Prepare & Submit Your Bid on IREPS
Introduction – Submitting a Compliant Bid is Crucial for Success
Submitting a bid on the Indian Railways E-Procurement System (IREPS) isn’t just about uploading files — it’s about precision, compliance, and timing.
Even a small error, like uploading the wrong DSC or missing a mandatory field, can make your bid non-responsive and lead to disqualification.For MSMEs, startups, and suppliers entering the government procurement ecosystem, mastering IREPS bid submission is the difference between opportunity and oversight. Let’s walk through how to prepare, structure, and submit your bid successfully.
Overview of Tender Preparation on IREPS
When you open a tender for submission, IREPS divides the process into clearly labeled tabs. Each one must be completed carefully:
Tab Name Purpose General Contains basic tender data like title, department, and tender type. Terms & Conditions (T&C) Accept or acknowledge standard and special conditions. Eligibility Declare and attach your qualification credentials. Compliance Confirm adherence to statutory and tender-specific clauses. Deviations Specify any variation from tender terms — or mark “No Deviation” for compliance. Documents Upload all supporting documents (PDFs only). Financial Offer Submit rates/values as per item list or BOQ. Submit Final validation and digital signature.
Documentary & Eligibility Compliance
Essential documents include:
PAN Card and GST Registration Certificate
PAN Card and GST Registration CertificateResponsiveness & Deviation Check
A non-responsive bid is one that fails to comply technically or documentarily. The Deviation Tab on IREPS ensures you declare whether you accept all tender terms.
If you have no deviations, always select “No Deviation” — this boosts your technical compliance score.
Avoid unnecessary remarks unless absolutely essential (for example, variation in delivery time).
