Missing a GeM tender deadline is frustrating — especially when you only found out about it after it closed. Here's how to make sure that never happens again.
Why Manual Monitoring Doesn't Work
GeM BidPlus receives hundreds of new tenders daily across all categories and states. Even if you check the portal twice a day, you'll miss tenders posted in between. And with short submission windows (often 3–7 days), even a 24-hour delay can mean missing a ₹10 lakh order.

Step 3: Filter by State (Optional but Recommended)
If you only deliver to certain states, filter your alerts:
/filter Maharashtra
/filter Delhi GujaratYou'll only receive alerts for tenders where the buyer is in your chosen state(s).
Step 4: Check Alerts
From the next scrape onwards (2× daily), you'll receive Telegram messages for every new matching bid — with the bid number, department, state, deadline, and a direct link to GeM.
Step 5: Set Up Watchlist for Active Bids
If you're actively bidding on specific tenders, add them to your watchlist:
/watch GEM/2025/B/4123456You'll receive a reminder 24 hours before the deadline — so you never miss submission.
