Gujarat nProcure (n-Code) Bidding: From Registration to Decrypt (2026)

Gujarat nProcure at a Glance

Portal: https://tender.nprocure.com (n-Code Solutions) — the platform behind Gujarat’s state tenders. Bid Bharat lists Gujarat tenders live; just filter by state = Gujarat and click through to the portal for NIT + BOQ downloads.

Why nProcure feels different: many aggregators miss Gujarat tender values because the portal’s list view is compact — Bid Bharat surfaces the estimated value for every listed Gujarat tender so you can shortlist by amount without opening each one.

Step 1 — Registration (One-Time, 30 min)

1. tender.nprocure.com → New Registration → Firm legal name + PAN + GSTIN + mobile/email → OTP (both).
2. Purchase n-Code DSC (Class-3, 2 years) + nProcure vendor enrolment (yearly, ~₹1,500) — required to decrypt bids at opening. Without enrolment, Decrypt fails even with correct DSC.
3. Upload: PAN, GSTIN, Gumasta, Cancelled Cheque — n-Code verifies in 24h and activates Vendor ID (e.g., GJE12345).

Tip: Use n-Code DSC, not eMudhra — nProcure’s decrypt applet is n-Code-specific.

Step 2 — Find & Purchase the Bid

• Find: Bid Bharat → state Gujarat → search “road” → open the tender.nprocure.com tender (estimated value shown live).
• Login: tender.nprocure.com → Login → DSC + Vendor ID → Tender Search → Download Tender (NIT PDF + BOQ Excel + corrigendum if any).
• Bid Purchase (mandatory): Pay Tender Fee + EMD online (Net Banking/BG/DD) — nProcure shows Payment Status: Success (green) before it allows Upload. If Payment Status: Pending, wait 30 min or check Payment History → Refresh.

Step 3 — Fill BOQ (Excel, 10 min)

• Open BOQ → only yellow cells (Rate column) are editable — they are unlocked. Do not rename sheets (Sheet1), add rows, or edit Amount (auto-calculates: Rate × Quantity).
• Enter rate per item → Amount auto-fills → check Total at bottom → Save As *.xls (97-2003) — not .xlsx (nProcure’s applet rejects .xlsx as “tampered”).

Step 4 — Upload & Submit (15 min)

1. Upload Technical Bid → PDFs: GSTIN, PAN, Udyam, work experience, turnover — each < 5 MB, 200 DPI.
2. Upload BOQ → select your saved .xls → Validate BOQ → BOQ Validated (green).
3. Upload EMD BG (if BG): upload scan (front+back, 300 DPI) + enter BG No., Date, Bank, UTR + courier original to tendering authority (must reach before closing).
4. DSC sign as Primary User → Submit → Bid Submitted + Bid ID (e.g., BID2026GJ12345) — save it.

Step 5 — Decrypt at Opening (Don’t Miss)

• At Tender Opening Date (shown in Bid Bharat as openingDate), login → Decrypt → select same DSC → enter PIN → Decrypted Successfully. If you miss the decrypt window (usually 30 min after opening), your bid is not considered even if submitted.
