Tenders for Vegetables and Fruits on SmartTender.biz

The demand for fruits and vegetables is practically unchanged throughout the year – these products are regularly purchased by all government agencies for the needs of their employees and citizens. To do this, they publish ads in the Prozorro system, which can be found on the SmartTender.biz platform. Find out how to make money on public tenders for the supply of vegetables and fruits and turn them into a stable source of your income.

How Does the Procurement Procedure Take Place?

Like all tenders for food, purchases of vegetables and fruits are carried out according to the following algorithm:

1. A public institution publishes a tender announcement in Prozorro, where it notes what it wants to buy for how much and on what conditions.

2. Interested suppliers send their price proposals, where they indicate the amount for which they are ready to sell the goods (it should not be more than the one specified by the customer).

3. The auction is taking place, in which all who have sent offers take part. For three rounds, suppliers compete with each other to reduce the price. The participant with the best offer wins.

The bid of the winner of the auction is checked for compliance with the conditions, and if all goes well, a contract is signed. Further cooperation takes place on the terms specified in the agreement.
