Most people think tenders are only for big companies with years of experience. That’s no longer true. With platforms like GeM, policies that favour MSMEs, and smart tools like BidAlert, even first-time entrepreneurs are winning government contracts every day. Why MSMEs Have the Edge
  • 25% of all tenders are reserved for MSMEs
  • No EMD, turnover relaxations, and preferential selection
  • Just register on Udyam – it’s free
GeM = Easy Start
  • No need for past experience
  • Sell products/services directly
  • Get auto-awarded orders based on pricing
One good listing can get you your first order. Not Every Tender Needs Experience Look for:
  • Low-value or state-level tenders
  • MSME/startup-friendly contracts
  • Design, IT, consulting, and niche categories
Use BidAlert filters like “Experience Not Required” to spot them fast. Real Example A 29-year-old MSME listed LED lights on GeM. No prior contracts. In 2 weeks – he got a ₹1.4L order. Today, he supplies 4 departments. Quick Checklist
