Registering on the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) Portal

The Government of India procures all HVAC maintenance through the GeM portal. Register your business with valid Udyam MSME certificate, GSTIN, and PAN to access tenders.

Technical Compliance and Experience Credentials

Tenders require proof of prior similar work, minimum annual turnover, and documented certified technician strength. Maintaining digital records of past contracts proves your track record.

Calculating Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) and Performance Bank Guarantees (PBG)

Understand tender financial terms: EMD (usually 2-5% of bid value, often waived for registered MSMEs) and PBG (3-10% upon contract award). Budget your working capital carefully.

Delivering SLA Requirements with Digital Software Verification

Commercial tenders carry severe financial penalty clauses for delayed breakdown response. Using ACServiceOS ensures technicians meet agreed SLA timelines with documented digital proofs.
