Questions

What is the MSE 15% price preference?

Under the Public Procurement Policy for MSEs, if a registered MSE quotes within L1 + 15% (and L1 is not an MSE), the MSE can be asked to bring its price down to L1 and supply a part of the order – usually up to 25%. Check your tender for the exact rule.

Do MSEs pay EMD?

Registered MSEs (Udyam) are usually exempt from EMD and tender fee and give a Bid Security Declaration instead, if the tender allows it.

What are Class-I and Class-II local suppliers?

Under the Make in India order: Class-I = local content 50% or more, Class-II = 20% to less than 50%, below 20% = non-local. Class-I suppliers get purchase preference.

What is the margin of purchase preference?

Usually 20%. If the lowest bid is not from a Class-I supplier, the lowest Class-I bidder within L1 + 20% may be invited to match L1 and get the order (or a part of it for divisible items).
