FAQ

Questions people ask before using this

What documents are most commonly missing before a bid deadline?+

In practice: a current Digital Signature Certificate, audited financials for the exact years asked for, and past-performance certificates in the specific format the tender requires.

Does a high score guarantee I'll win the tender?+

No — this checks bid readiness (can you submit a compliant, disqualification-proof bid), not competitiveness of your pricing or technical proposal against other bidders.

How often should we re-check readiness?+

Re-run it whenever a certification is close to expiry (DSC, ISO, MSME) or before entering a new tender category with different documentation requirements.
