Procurement, Tender & Equipment FAQ

Yes, on the supply side. Public corporations and utilities such as NEA and NTC procure through formal, specification-driven processes. DNB assesses the equipment within its sourcing categories against the tender or BOQ: batteries and UPS, communication devices, networking and ICT, CCTV and security equipment, solar and power accessories, rescue and safety items, and coordinates manufacturer documentation and delivery.

The utility publishes a specification, BOQ or tender. DNB reviews the product-related sections, identifies equipment that fits the stated parameters and within its categories, confirms manufacturer documentation such as catalogues and authorization letters, and plans delivery to the required locations across Nepal.

Growing industries in Nepal procure across patterns DNB serves: energy and hydropower projects need batteries, UPS, safety and rescue gear and communication devices; telecom operators need networking, battery banks, CCTV and radio equipment; construction needs machinery spares, site safety equipment and tools; tourism needs security, CCTV, energy backup and AV hardware. Where an item falls within our categories, we assess and supply it against the specification.

Yes. Energy sector buyers procure safety equipment, batteries and power systems, rescue gear, communication devices, tools and ICT hardware for plants, substations and offices. DNB assesses these against the specification and coordinates supply, documentation and delivery.

Yes. A national goods tender such as a communication hand set batteries requirement commonly runs as National Competitive Bidding (NCB), single-stage two-envelope (1S2E), submitted only through the e-GP portal. In 1S2E the technical and financial sections are handled separately and prices are opened after the technical review, and the bidding document states the deadline, bid security amount, document fee and submission rules which must all be read from that document.

A typical document covers the Invitation for Bids with the deadline, the Instructions to Bidders, the technical specification for the battery line items (such as model numbers and capacities for handheld radio batteries), the price schedule, bid security requirements, qualification criteria, sample requirements, delivery period, warranty and the general and special conditions of contract. DNB reviews the product-related parts and identifies matching items and documentation.

The bidding document states the eligibility and qualification criteria, for example average annual turnover and financial capacity thresholds, and relevant contract experience of similar value and nature within a defined period. Bidders must meet these criteria at the evaluation or award stage, and DNB reviews the product and documentation side of the requirement.

Samples let the procuring entity physically verify that the offered product matches the specification before technical evaluation is confirmed. In equipment tenders such as communication batteries, the sample must meet the model, voltage, capacity and certification stated in the document and is submitted with the bid as required.

Some bidding documents set performance security as the higher requirement between a fixed percentage of the bid price and a calculated amount, for example 5 percent of the bid price or a formula based on the difference between the cost estimate and the bid price plus a base percentage. The exact rule is always read from the specific bidding document and contract.

Nepal procurement rules can provide a preference margin for goods manufactured or value-added in Nepal, subject to the stated criteria in the bidding document, for example a threshold of domestic value addition. This is a documented evaluation rule that bidders should verify in each tender.
