What you need

  • A Khanal ID with two-step verification switched on
  • Your company's legal name as it appears on tender documents
  • A Google Drive or OneDrive account your organisation owns (for uploads)
  • One tender notice (NIT) you want to track

Sign in and create your organisation

  1. Open https://tender.khanals.in/ and sign in with your Khanal ID.
  2. On Set up K-Tender, type the Organisation name, for example ABC Infra Private Limited.
  3. Type the Legal company name (as on tender documents).
  4. Check the Time zone. It is India (IST) by default.
  5. Click Start free trial. Your 14-day trial starts and you land on Getting started.

Connect your document storage

  1. Open the menu under your name and click Connected storage.
  2. Click Connect storage (or Connect Google Drive / Connect OneDrive when only one is offered).
  3. Sign in to Google or Microsoft and finish the set-up on the storage page.
  4. Come back to K-Tender and click Check now. The page shows your account and an Open the Khanal Group folder link when it is ready.

Complete the company profile

  1. Open the menu under your name and click Settings.
  2. Under Companies, fill PAN, GSTIN and the signatory for your default company.
  3. Click Save. These details fill the declarations the Document factory makes.

Add your first tender

  1. In the left menu, open My Tenders and click Tender register.
  2. Click + New tender.
  3. Type the Tender title, Tender reference number, Department / buyer, Estimated value and EMD amount from the NIT.
  4. Click Create tender. K-Tender opens the Deadlines tab.
  5. Enter the Bid submission date and time, and any other key dates.
  6. Click Save dates. Reminders are planned automatically.

Good to know

  • The Getting started page ticks each step by itself when the data exists. Find it again under your name → Help: getting started.
  • K-Tender never submits a bid, signs with your DSC or pays an EMD. You do those on the portal yourself.
  • Prefer Hindi? Choose it under your name → Language · भाषा.

Common errors

"Connect your Google Drive or OneDrive first (Settings → Connected storage)" when I upload

Uploads are refused until your organisation's drive is connected. An organisation admin opens Connected storage, connects the drive and clicks Check now. See Connect Google Drive or OneDrive.

"A tender with the same reference already exists"

K-Tender found a tender with the same reference in your register. Open the linked tender instead, or tick Create it anyway (it is a different tender) and click Create tender again.

"Your plan allows 5 active tenders. Upgrade the plan in Billing to add more."

Your plan's tender limit is reached. Archive tenders you no longer need, or ask your organisation admin to change the plan in Billing.

I do not see + New tender

Your role cannot create tenders (for example Technical reviewer or Read-only auditor). Ask your organisation admin to change your role on the Team page.
