Rajasthan e-tender: SHPP, the old eproc portal and how to bid in 2026

A Rajasthan e-tender used to mean one place: eproc.rajasthan.gov.in, the state's copy of NIC's e-procurement software. From 1 October 2026 that changed. New tenders from Rajasthan's departments now go on the state's own Single Holistic Procurement Portal (SHPP), while the old portal only finishes tenders it already had. This guide explains the portals, how to sign in and bid during the changeover, what fees and EMD to expect, and the RTPP Act basics.

Rajasthan e-tender portals in 2026

Rajasthan bidders now deal with up to three state websites:

The Finance Department's order of 18 September 2026 (P.3(2)Finance/SPFC/SHPP/2026) made SHPP mandatory. A notice on eproc.rajasthan.gov.in sets out the changeover: from 1 October 2026 new procurement goes through SHPP, and the NIC portal remains available until 31 March 2027 only for tenders published on it up to 30 September 2026.

So if you are already bidding in a tender from September 2026 or earlier, carry on in that tender on eproc.rajasthan.gov.in: its corrigenda, opening and results stay there. For anything newer, go to SHPP.

SHPP Rajasthan: what is on it

SHPP's home page shows a public list of published tenders, which you can read without signing in. For each tender it shows:

• Tender code, for example Goods/2026-27/0051/012. The first part tells you whether it is goods, works or services, followed by the financial year.
• The procuring office, usually as a department and then the office within it, such as "Agriculture Department, Jaipur" and an assistant director's office in a district.
• The estimated value of the procurement, and the key dates.

Cancelled tenders drop off the published list. Tenders don't have their own web addresses on SHPP, so when someone shares a tender, ask for its tender code and search for it in the tender table.

GovtTenderHub reads SHPP's published list and the old NIC portal several times a day. Our Rajasthan tenders page shows both, along with central government tenders in the state, so you can search all live tenders in Rajasthan in one place and filter by district.

Which departments publish Rajasthan tenders

In late September 2026, just before the switch, the busiest buyers on eproc.rajasthan.gov.in were:

• Panchayati Raj Department, the largest by far.
• Public Works Department (PWD) and the Water Resources Department.
• PHED (Public Health Engineering Department), for drinking water schemes.
• Power companies: Jodhpur Vidyut Vitran Nigam, RRVUN (generation) and RRVPN (transmission).
• Rajasthan Council of School Education, Medical and Health, Forest and Watershed Development and Soil Conservation.
• RCDF (the state dairy federation) and the Directorate of Local Bodies.

These same departments now publish their new tenders on SHPP.

How to register for Rajasthan e-tenders

On SHPP: your Rajasthan SSO ID

SHPP uses the Rajasthan government's single sign-on. You sign in with your SSO ID; if you don't have one, create it at sso.rajasthan.gov.in. The same SSO ID is used for many Rajasthan government services, so your firm may already have one.

Once signed in, follow SHPP's own bidder instructions to complete your profile and, where it asks, add your digital signature. Keep these ready, as most e-tenders ask for them:

• A Class 3 DSC in the name of the person who signs bids. Class 2 certificates are no longer issued, so a Class 3 is the only kind to buy. The DSC guide explains signing and encryption certificates; check which one SHPP asks for before you buy.
• PAN, GST registration, bank details and your firm's registration papers.
• Udyam certificate if you are a micro or small enterprise, and any contractor registration the tender asks for, such as PWD enlistment for works.

The documents checklist covers what tenders ask for when you bid.

On eproc.rajasthan.gov.in: for older tenders

If you already enrolled on the NIC portal, keep that account until your old tenders are settled. It works like every GePNIC portal: Online Bidder Enrollment, a Class 3 DSC mapped to your login, and bids submitted cover by cover and then frozen. Our NIC registration guide covers those steps. NIC doesn't charge bidders to enrol.

Tender fee, EMD and other charges

Each tender states its own charges. Read the notice and bid document for:

• Tender fee (cost of the bid document), if any.
• Any processing fee the tender asks for, and who it is payable to.
• EMD (bid security), the refundable deposit, and whether it can be paid online, by bank guarantee or another instrument.
• Exemptions, such as for micro and small enterprises or government undertakings, if the tender allows them.

Pay early. On every portal, online payments can take time to show as received, and a bid without a confirmed payment may not be accepted. Our EMD guide explains when EMD is refunded and when it can be forfeited.

Central rules don't apply. The GFR's 2% to 5% EMD range and the central MSE exemption bind central government buyers. Rajasthan's departments follow the RTPP Act and Rules, so the tender's own EMD clause is the one that counts.

The RTPP Act: rules behind Rajasthan tenders

The Rajasthan Transparency in Public Procurement Act, 2012, with the RTPP Rules, 2013, sets the rules for procurement by Rajasthan's government departments and state bodies. In practice this means:

• Rajasthan tenders follow the RTPP Act, not GFR. A Rajasthan PWD or PHED tender may look like a central one, but its bid security, performance security and evaluation rules come from the state law and rules.
• Bidders can appeal. The Act lets a bidder appeal against a procuring entity's decision, first to a first appellate authority and then to a second appellate authority. Rajasthan bid documents usually name these authorities. Appeals have strict time limits, so read the appeal clause of your tender as soon as a decision goes against you.
• The bid document is the rulebook for that tender. It sets out eligibility, the bid security amount, the evaluation method and the appeal route under the Act.

The Act's text is published on India Code (indiacode.nic.in). The GFR guide explains how the central rules differ.

Tender results and corrigenda

• SHPP tenders: watch the tender in SHPP's tender table for corrigenda, and sign in to see the status of your own bids. A cancelled tender leaves the published list.
• Older tenders on eproc.rajasthan.gov.in: use Corrigendum, Tenders Status and Results of Tenders on that portal, as on any NIC portal, until 31 March 2027.

The tender status guide explains the usual stages from opening to award.

Helpdesk

For problems with your SSO ID or SHPP, use the help and contact details on shpp.rajasthan.gov.in and sso.rajasthan.gov.in. For tenders still running on eproc.rajasthan.gov.in, use that portal's Contact Us page. For questions about a tender's terms, contact the procuring office named in the tender; only it can change a deadline or a condition.
