All departments of the Andhra Pradesh Government will use e-tendering including local bodies and municipal
corporations along with their vendors. Various other state governments,
co-operative sectors and public sectors also utilise e-procurement and
e-tendering.
Through e-procurement in India,
goods and services can be purchased using the internet. The process
- Establishes connections between buyers and suppliers through an
exchange of tenders, catalogs, contracts, POs, invoices etc on the internet
- Includes on-contract and off-contract buying of goods and services
- A variety of techniques such as reverse auctions, RFPs, quotes and
auctions are included in this.
The Andhra Pradesh Government online tendering is carried out like the traditional tendering process in an
electronic form. With the Andhra Pradesh Government e-tendering process, the various departments can:
- Raise the indents online, as per requirement
- The indents can also be approved online

The Andhra Pradesh Government is leveraging information technology, to
make the process of e-tendering in India,
more efficient and transparent. The security
features incorporated ensure that all activities are logged, all the sensitive
data is protected by use of encryption, only authorised users have access to
data and the system can be restored in a minimal possible time, in case of a
disaster or system crash. The Tender Management
Software helps the suppliers as buyers as well as the suppliers to reduce unnecessary
paper work, save time, avoid long queues and simultaneously maintain the transparency in
the entire process.
SSL certificates are used in the Government of Andhra Pradesh e-procurement process, for the purpose of security. The solution
uses 128 bit SSL certificate. It ensures communication between the user's
browser and the web server. Thus all the data is encrypted and cannot be hacked
or misused. The solution also supports 128 bit encryption. All the price bids
received for every tender are encrypted at the database level. Also the login
details of all the users are encrypted at the database level. Class 3 digital signature certificates of the
signing and encryption category are used for e-tendering.
Other security-related features:
- The solution has been developed such that all activities, changes in
configuration and transactions are monitored and logged. The log of all
activities is available at the database level, thus ensuring that an audit
trail is easily available.
- The secure process ensures that a user is unable view the commercial
bid of a supplier until the tender has undergone technical evaluation and the
time for the opening of the commercial bid is due.
- The solution is protected by a firewall. The intrusion detection
system protects it against unauthorised access and hackers.
