How Can a Strong Warranty Declaration Boost Your GeM Bid?
Government workers always do what they say they’ll do. They say the things they sell are good and will last a long time. They have to fix or give you a new item after that time if it doesn’t do what they said it would do.
“A strong warranty declaration boosts your GeM bid by ensuring product reliability, reducing buyer risks, and enhancing trust. It must be clear, specific, and aligned with product capabilities to avoid disputes and penalties, making your bid more competitive.“
Types of Warranties in Government Tenders
Some things make it less likely that something will break, so don’t worry as much.
The price makes more sense when there is a full promise.
Risk Reduction: Warranties give buyers peace of mind and lower the chances that a product will break.
Value Increase: A full guarantee makes the bid seem more valuable.
Accountability: Bidders are responsible for the quality and dependability of the goods they offer.
Savings over time: Having a warranty often lowers the cost of repairs over time.
How to Submit a Warranty Declaration on the GeM Portal
Step 1: Go to your bid section in the GeM Portal.
Step 2: Find the “warranty declaration” part in the offer paper.
Step 3: Make a list of what you can give them. There should be no question about what the deal is and how it works.
Step 4: If you have to, show proof or papers that the promise was kept.
Step 5: before you send in your entry, make sure it meets the GeM’s rules.
Importance of Accurate and Clear Warranty Declarations
People will be able to understand your promise, and there won’t be any arguments after the deal is signed. If your promise isn’t clear, you could get in trouble or be fined. To make sure your promise statement is clear and useful, follow these tips:
-Make sure everyone can understand by using easy words.
-Don’t use vague words like “limited warranty” that don’t really mean what they mean.
-What you say the product can do should match what you say it can do. Don’t make false promises.
Advantages of Providing a Strong Warranty in Tenders
Helps you stand out in the market: A good service makes your price more appealing and helps it stay that way.
People are more likely to choose a deal with a guarantee they can trust if they like the deal.
Build relationships that will last. If you give good promises, people who buy from the government will believe you, which could lead to more business.
Common Mistakes to Avoid in Warranty Declaration
They are easy to avoid if you want your promise statement to be better:
-When you promise something, make sure you can really keep it.
-It’s important to be clear about what the statement does and does not cover.
-Don’t Think About Product Compatibility: Make sure the traits of the product match what was promised.
-Way to Avoid Filing Claims: Always be clear on how to file a claim with your insurance company, and make it easy for other people to do the same.
