Delhi e-tender guide: eProcurement Delhi registration, bidding, and where MCD, DJB and DDA publish

Eprocurement Delhi means two things for most contractors: the Delhi government's own NIC portal, where the Jal Board, PWD and other departments publish, and the separate portals used by MCD, DDA and central offices in the city. This guide explains where each Delhi buyer publishes, how to register and bid on govtprocurement.delhi.gov.in, and where to get help when something goes wrong.

What is eProcurement Delhi (govtprocurement.delhi.gov.in)?

The portal calls itself eTendering System Government of NCT of Delhi. Its footer says the contents are owned and maintained by the Government of NCT of Delhi, and that it is designed, developed and hosted by the National Informatics Centre (NIC).

It runs on GePNIC, the same software as the central eprocure.gov.in portal and most state portals. The menus are the familiar ones:

• Search, Active Tenders, Tenders by Closing Date, Corrigendum and Results of Tenders.
• Tenders by Location, Tenders by Organisation, Tenders by Classification, Tenders in Archive, Tenders Status and Cancelled/Retendered.
• Debarment List, Announcements, Downloads, MIS Reports and Site compatibility.
• Help For Contractors, Information About DSC, FAQ and Bidders Manual Kit at the bottom.

The home page also shows the latest tenders and corrigenda. In October 2026 these included upkeep work on the Najafgarh drain, development of Chhath Puja ghats and retaining walls in Sangam Vihar.

Who publishes on the Delhi e-tender portal

These were the busiest buyers on govtprocurement.delhi.gov.in in the tenders GovtTenderHub tracked from the portal between July and September 2026:

After them come IPGCL-PPCL (the Delhi government's power generation companies), the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board, DSIIDC, DTTDC and GGS Indraprastha University. About half the tenders were civil works.

The Jal Board's water supply and sewer works make it the largest single source. The Delhi Jal Board page on GovtTenderHub lists its live tenders in one place.

Reading a Delhi reference number

Delhi tender reference numbers tell you which office issued the tender. A number such as 117/EE(E)/JED-02/PWD/2026-27 is from an Executive Engineer (Electrical) of a PWD division, for the year 2026-27. Ones with CD in them, such as EE/CD-VIII, are usually civil divisions. The office matters: questions about the work go to that office, the Tender Inviting Authority, not to the portal.

Where MCD, DDA and central offices in Delhi publish

Delhi has more buyers than any other city, and they don't share one portal.

MCD tenders

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi publishes on etenders.gov.in, NIC's portal for central PSUs and some other bodies. Its tenders there come from MCD's civil and electrical engineering wings, the Horticulture Department and Hospital Administration. In September 2026 alone we tracked over 300 MCD tenders on that portal, from lane construction in wards to hospital equipment.

Because etenders.gov.in is a separate NIC portal, your Delhi government login doesn't work there. Enrol again through its own Online Bidder Enrollment; you can map the same DSC. GovtTenderHub's MCD page collects MCD tenders from both etenders.gov.in and CPPP.

DDA and central buyers

The Delhi Development Authority and central ministries' offices in Delhi publish on the central eProcurement portal, eprocure.gov.in. CPWD has its own e-tender site and enlistment rules; see the CPWD enlistment guide if you work for it too.

So if you work across Delhi, you will usually need accounts on at least three portals: the Delhi government's, etenders.gov.in and eprocure.gov.in.

How to register on the Delhi e-tender portal

Registration follows the standard NIC steps, explained screen by screen in our NIC registration guide:

1. Get a Class 3 DSC with a signing certificate in the name of the person who will sign bids. NIC portals don't ask bidders for an encryption certificate.
2. Click Online Bidder Enrollment on govtprocurement.delhi.gov.in. Your email ID becomes your login ID and can't be changed later.
3. Fill in your firm's details: name, PAN, registration number, address, legal status and contact person. If you are a micro or small enterprise, choose that category.
4. Log in and enrol your DSC. You become a valid bidder only after this. A new DSC can take up to 24 hours to be recognised.
5. Pick product categories under My Accounts for email alerts on new tenders in your line.

Is there a fee? NIC's FAQ says it doesn't charge bidders for enrolment, adding that this depends on the organisation's policy. When we checked in October 2026, the Delhi portal's Announcements page had no notices at all, and so no notice of a bidder charge. Each tender sets its own tender fee and EMD.

How to bid on govtprocurement.delhi.gov.in

1. Find the tender through Search, Tenders by Organisation or Tenders by Location, and add it to your favourites so it moves to My Tenders.
2. Download the NIT and the tender documents, including the BOQ, and read the eligibility, EMD and critical dates.
3. Check the Corrigendum list. Terms can change after a tender is published. In October 2026 one corrigendum on the home page simply said "EMD only in online mode"; others changed approved makes or extended dates.
4. Click Proceed for Bid Submission, pay or claim exemption for the tender fee and EMD, as the tender allows.
5. Encrypt & Upload each cover with your DSC. In the BOQ, fill only your rates and name, and never rename the file.
6. Freeze Bid Submission and print the acknowledgement with your Bid ID.

A bid that isn't frozen is incomplete and won't be evaluated. Pay online at least a day before closing, as NIC's bid submission guidelines advise, so the payment has time to show as successful. See the EMD guide for how EMD works and when it is returned.

Results, status and the debarment list

• Tenders Status shows the stage a tender has reached after closing.
• Results of Tenders shows the outcome once the department publishes it.
• My Active Bids in your account shows your own bids.
• Cancelled/Retendered shows tenders that were scrapped or called again. A retendered work comes back as a second or third call.
• Debarment List shows firms barred from bidding.

The tender status guide explains what each stage means.

Delhi e-tender helpdesk

The portal's Contact Us page says:

• Technical queries, 24 x 7 helpdesk: 0120-4001002, 0120-4001005 and 0120-4493395. Bidders calling from abroad add 91 as the country code.
• Technical email: support-eproc(at)nic(dot)in.
• Questions about a published tender: "bidders are requested to contact the respective Tender Inviting Authority".
• Registration documents for vendors and tender processing queries from department officials have their own contacts, listed on the same page.

GovtTenderHub's Delhi tenders page brings together tenders from the Delhi government portal and central portals for the city, so you can search DJB, PWD, NDMC, MCD and central buyers in one list. If you want new ones by email each morning, see our tender alerts plans.

Common questions

What is the official e-tender website of the Delhi government?

govtprocurement.delhi.gov.in, the eTendering System of the Government of NCT of Delhi, built and hosted by NIC. Delhi government departments, the Delhi Jal Board and the NDMC publish their e-tenders there.

Where are MCD tenders published?

On etenders.gov.in, NIC's portal for central PSUs and some other bodies, with some also on CPPP. You need a separate enrolment there; your Delhi government login won't work.

Is registration on eProcurement Delhi free?

NIC says it doesn't charge bidders to enrol, though it depends on the organisation's policy, and we found no Delhi notice of a bidder charge in October 2026. You pay for your own DSC, and each tender sets its own tender fee and EMD.

Where are Delhi Jal Board tenders published?

On govtprocurement.delhi.gov.in, under Tenders by Organisation. The Jal Board is the busiest buyer on the portal, with water supply, sewer and drain works.

Whom do I call for a Delhi e-tender problem?

For login, DSC or upload problems, the 24 x 7 helpdesk on 0120-4001002, 0120-4001005 or 0120-4493395. For anything about the work or the terms of a tender, the Tender Inviting Authority named in it.

Can I use one DSC on the Delhi portal and etenders.gov.in?

Yes. Each NIC portal needs its own enrolment, but you can map the same Class 3 DSC on each one.
