Advantages of the e-tendering system:
Promptness:-

The e-tendering process is much more efficient than traditional bidding. In this online exercise, the scope of manual paperwork and correspondence is decimated. As a result, the process is carried out within a stipulated timeframe.

Transparency:-

From the publishing of advertisements to submission of bidding values, all steps of the bidding process are accomplished online. Since the entire details of issued tenders remain in the public domain no room is left for any malpractice.

Fair competition:-

E-tendering being a transparent exercise, competitiveness is maintained among the bidders. Consequently, only the most suitable bidder wins the tender.

Less expenditure:-

E-tendering eliminates the scope of unhealthy inducements; bidders give absolute priority to bidding values, resulting in lower quotes. It automatically cuts down the project estimation capital as compared to the traditional tendering.

Fast project delivery:-

As the e-bidding process consumes less time, the project work gets initiated early, resulting in fast completion. This creates a positive business ecosystem.

Easy to shortlist:-

In the e-tendering system, the details of all bidders are visible online to the tender issuers. The profiles and quotes of all the bidders can be compared easily in one place without assorting a bundle of documents.

International tenders:-

The e-tendering process eliminates the barriers of borders and opens a global spectrum of tenders. Through different e-tender portals, bidders get to know about all the tenders issued worldwide, like Nepal tenders, South African tenders, or Italian tenders.

Eco-friendly:-

The e-bidding process is an absolute online exercise that limits the usage of paper. It is an endeavour towards a paper-free world. The trend of digital tendering will let us achieve a lower carbon footprint to save our Mother Earth.
