Tender Notice Advertisement in Kolkata: Step-by-Step Complete Guide

Introduction

When an organisation wants to invite suppliers, contractors, service providers or vendors to submit bids, it may need to publish a tender notice advertisement. A tender notice gives important information about the work, supply, service or project and tells eligible bidders how and when to participate.

In Kolkata, tender advertisements are commonly used by government departments, public sector undertakings, municipalities, educational institutions, hospitals, private companies, housing societies, NGOs and other organisations. Depending on the tender rules, the notice may be published in a Bengali newspaper, English newspaper, national daily or more than one newspaper.

I understand that publishing a tender notice is not only about placing an advertisement. It is also about using the correct wording, selecting the right newspaper, meeting the publication deadline and keeping proper proof of publication. A small mistake in the tender number, submission date, website address or contact details can create serious confusion for bidders.

In this complete guide, I will explain the Tender Notice Advertisement in Kolkata process from beginning to end. I will also discuss tender types, newspaper selection, advertisement formats, required information, rates, booking process, legal and compliance points, common mistakes, publication proof and frequently asked questions.

At OMM Advertising, we help clients arrange newspaper advertisements in Kolkata and other locations. Our role is to support the advertising and publication process. The tender authority, issuing organisation or appointed legal/procurement professional remains responsible for the accuracy and legal approval of the tender content.

What Is a Tender Notice Advertisement?

A tender notice advertisement is a public announcement inviting eligible bidders to submit offers for a particular work, supply, project or service.

For example, an organisation may publish a tender notice for:

• Construction work
• Road repair
• Building maintenance
• Electrical installation
• Supply of office equipment
• Supply of medicines
• Security services
• Housekeeping services
• IT equipment and software
• Printing and stationery
• Transport services
• Civil engineering work
• Consultancy services
• Catering services
• School or college infrastructure
• Government contracts
• Property maintenance
• Annual maintenance contracts

A tender advertisement normally provides a short summary of the tender. It may also mention the tender reference number, estimated value, eligibility conditions, submission deadline, tender document website and contact details.

The complete tender document may be available separately on an official website or e-procurement portal. The newspaper advertisement usually acts as the public invitation and directs interested bidders to the full tender document.

The exact format depends on the issuing authority, procurement rules, newspaper requirements and the nature of the tender. OMM Advertising’s tender guide also explains that tender advertisements may be used by government bodies, PSUs, private companies, educational institutions and other organisations.

Why Is Tender Advertisement in a Newspaper Important?

A newspaper tender advertisement can serve several important purposes.

1. It informs potential bidders

A public advertisement helps eligible suppliers and contractors learn that a tender has been issued. This can increase the opportunity for more qualified bidders to participate.

2. It supports transparency

For many public procurement activities, the issuing organisation must follow transparency and equal-opportunity principles. Publishing the notice through an appropriate newspaper can support this process.

3. It reaches local and regional businesses

A local Bengali newspaper may reach contractors and suppliers in West Bengal. An English or national newspaper may be suitable when the tender is intended for a wider business audience.

4. It creates a publication record

The published newspaper can act as evidence that the notice was released on a particular date. The issuing organisation should preserve the original newspaper, e-paper copy, publication certificate or other accepted proof.

5. It directs bidders to the complete tender document

A newspaper notice has limited space. It can provide the key details and direct bidders to the official tender portal or office for the full terms and conditions.

6. It may be required by a tendering authority

Some organisations and procurement procedures require newspaper publication. However, I do not recommend assuming that every tender must be advertised in exactly the same way. The issuing authority should confirm the applicable rules, newspaper combination, language, edition and number of insertions before booking.

Who Can Publish a Tender Notice?

Tender advertisements are commonly published by the following organisations:

Government departments

Central and state government departments may publish notices for construction, supply, maintenance, consultancy and public works.

Public sector undertakings

PSUs may publish tenders for equipment, services, civil work, transport, manpower and other operational requirements.

Municipal corporations and local bodies

Municipalities and local authorities may issue tenders for roads, drainage, waste management, street lighting, public buildings and maintenance work.

Educational institutions

Schools, colleges and universities may publish tenders for furniture, laboratory equipment, books, security, housekeeping, construction and other services.

Hospitals and healthcare institutions

Hospitals may invite bids for medical equipment, medicines, maintenance, housekeeping, security, catering and facility management.

Private companies

Private organisations may publish tender notices when they want competitive quotations from suppliers or contractors.

Housing societies and apartment associations

Residential societies may publish notices for lifts, security, painting, plumbing, electrical work, waterproofing and other maintenance services.

NGOs and charitable institutions

Non-profit organisations may invite bids for project-related services, supplies and construction work.

Main Types of Tender Notices

Before preparing the advertisement, it is important to identify the tender type.

1. Open Tender

An open tender is publicly announced and allows all eligible bidders who meet the conditions to participate.

This type is often used when the organisation wants broad competition.

Example: A government department invites eligible contractors for road construction work.

2. Limited Tender

A limited tender is issued to a selected group of suppliers or contractors. The organisation may not need a wide public advertisement in every situation.

The issuing authority should confirm whether newspaper publication is required.

3. Single Tender

A single tender is generally issued to one selected supplier under specific circumstances. It may be used when only one supplier is technically suitable or when urgent or specialised procurement conditions apply.

4. E-Tender

An e-tender is submitted through an online tender portal. The newspaper notice may still be required to announce the opportunity and direct bidders to the official portal.

The advertisement should clearly mention:

• Official tender website
• Tender reference number
• Online submission deadline
• Technical and financial bid details
• Digital signature requirement, if applicable
• Contact details for clarification

5. Global Tender

A global tender may invite bidders from outside India or from a wider international market. Such tenders may require publication in selected national or international platforms according to the applicable procurement rules.

6. Notice Inviting Tender

This is a common formal heading used by government departments, PSUs and institutions.

It may appear as:

• Notice Inviting Tender
• NIT
• Tender Notice
• E-Tender Notice
• Invitation for Bids
• Request for Proposal
• Request for Quotation
• Expression of Interest

7. Expression of Interest

An Expression of Interest, or EOI, is used to invite organisations to show their interest in a project or service. It may be followed by a detailed tender or request for proposal.

8. Request for Proposal

An RFP is generally used when the organisation wants technical and financial proposals for a service, consultancy, technology solution or complex project.

9. Request for Quotation

An RFQ is generally used when the organisation wants price quotations for specific goods or services.

10. Auction or Disposal Notice

Some organisations publish notices for the sale, auction or disposal of old vehicles, machinery, scrap, furniture or other assets. The format and legal requirements are different from a standard procurement tender.

What Information Should Be Included in a Tender Advertisement?

A tender notice should be short but complete enough for the reader to understand the opportunity and locate the full tender document.

The following information is commonly required.

1. Name of the issuing organisation

Write the complete official name of the department, company, institution or authority.

Example: Office of the Executive Engineer, Public Works Department

2. Notice heading

Use a clear heading such as:

• NOTICE INVITING TENDER
• E-TENDER NOTICE
• TENDER INVITATION
• INVITATION FOR BIDS

3. Tender reference number

Mention the tender number exactly as issued.

Example: Tender Reference No.: PWD/2026-27/04

Do not change punctuation, spacing or numbering without approval.

4. Name and description of work

Explain the work or supply in simple language.

Example: Repair and renovation of the administrative building at Kolkata.

5. Estimated tender value

If required by the issuing authority, mention the estimated cost or tender value.

6. Earnest Money Deposit

If applicable, mention the EMD amount, method of payment or exemption conditions.

7. Tender document fee

If applicable, mention the tender document fee and payment method.

8. Eligibility criteria

The advertisement may briefly mention the eligibility requirements, such as:

• Valid registration
• Previous experience
• Financial capacity
• GST registration
• Trade licence
• Technical qualification
• Similar work experience
• Required certificates

The complete eligibility conditions should remain in the official tender document.

9. Date of issue

Mention the date on which the tender notice is issued.

10. Last date and time of submission

This is one of the most important details.

Write the exact date and time clearly.

Example: Last date for submission: 25 September 2026 up to 3:00 PM

11. Opening date and time

If applicable, mention when the technical or financial bids will be opened.

12. Mode of submission

Mention whether bids must be submitted:

• Online
• Offline
• Through a sealed envelope
• Through a specified e-procurement portal
• At a particular office

13. Official website

Mention the correct website or tender portal.

Do not publish an unverified or incomplete URL.

14. Contact details

Include the name or designation of the contact person, office address, phone number or email address if required.

15. Authority’s signature or designation

The notice may end with the name and designation of the issuing officer.

Sample Tender Notice Advertisement Format

Bengali Tender Advertisement Format

When the target bidders are mainly from West Bengal, a Bengali advertisement may be useful. The issuing organisation should approve the Bengali translation before publication.

দরপত্র আহ্বানের বিজ্ঞপ্তি

যোগ্য ও অভিজ্ঞ ঠিকাদার/সরবরাহকারীদের কাছ থেকে [কাজ বা সরবরাহের সংক্ষিপ্ত বিবরণ]-এর জন্য দরপত্র আহ্বান করা হচ্ছে।

This format is only a basic example. A government department or public authority may have a prescribed wording that must be followed exactly.

How to Publish a Tender Notice Advertisement in Kolkata

The process is simple when the content and publication requirements are ready.

Step 1: Confirm the tender publication requirement

First, confirm:

• Whether newspaper publication is required
• Which newspaper or newspapers are required
• Whether one Bengali and one English newspaper is needed
• Whether a national daily is required
• Whether a specific edition is required
• Whether one insertion or multiple insertions are required
• Whether the advertisement must be published before a fixed date

This confirmation should come from the tender authority, procurement officer, advocate or authorised department.

Step 2: Prepare the approved tender matter

Prepare the advertisement using the approved tender notice. Do not create new eligibility conditions or change the official terms.

Step 3: Check every important detail

Check the following twice:

• Tender number
• Name of work
• Organisation name
• Submission date
• Submission time
• Opening date
• Website
• Contact number
• Email address
• EMD amount
• Tender fee
• Office address
• Name and designation of the officer

Step 4: Select the newspaper

Choose the newspaper according to:

• Tender authority’s instructions
• Language
• Circulation
• Local reach
• National reach
• Target bidder group
• Required edition
• Budget
• Publication deadline

Step 5: Contact OMM Advertising

Share the approved tender matter with OMM Advertising through the available communication channel. We can help check the basic advertisement requirements, suggest newspaper options and provide a newspaper-wise quotation.

Step 6: Receive the quotation

The quotation should clearly mention:

• Newspaper name
• Edition
• Language
• Advertisement size
• Classified or display format
• Number of insertions
• Publication date
• Applicable taxes or charges
• Total payable amount

Step 7: Approve the final proof

Before publication, carefully review the final proof. The issuing organisation should approve the final text and layout.

Step 8: Make payment

After approval, complete the payment according to the agency’s instructions.

Step 9: Publish the advertisement

The advertisement is scheduled for publication in the selected newspaper and edition.

Step 10: Collect publication proof

After publication, collect and preserve:

• Newspaper copy
• E-paper clipping
• Publication certificate, if available
• Booking confirmation
• Invoice
• Payment receipt
• Final approved artwork
• Publication date and edition details

OMM Advertising describes a similar booking workflow involving enquiry, quotation, content finalisation, payment and scheduled publication.

Documents Usually Required for Tender Advertisement Booking

The exact documents depend on the newspaper and the type of tender. In many cases, the following information is sufficient:

• Approved tender notice
• Organisation name and address
• Contact person’s details
• Tender reference number
• Publication date
• Newspaper requirement
• Official website or portal link
• Final artwork, if already prepared
• Authorisation or approval, if requested
• GST or billing details
• Purchase order, if applicable
• Work order or release order, if applicable

For sensitive government or legal notices, the newspaper or advertising agency may request an official letter, department approval or signed document.

A newspaper advertising agency normally helps with publication arrangements. It should not independently alter the legal or commercial meaning of the tender.

How Much Does a Tender Notice Advertisement Cost in Kolkata?

There is no single fixed rate for every tender advertisement. The final price depends on several factors.

Main factors affecting the rate

1. Newspaper

Different newspapers have different advertising rates. A high-circulation newspaper may charge more than a smaller regional publication.

2. Language

English, Bengali and other language editions may have different rates.

3. Edition

Kolkata city, West Bengal, district and national editions may have different prices.

4. Advertisement size

A small classified notice generally costs less than a large display advertisement.

5. Classified or display format

A text classified advertisement is usually more economical. A boxed or display advertisement provides better visual separation but may cost more.

6. Number of insertions

Publishing the same notice on multiple dates increases the total cost.

7. Colour

A colour advertisement may cost more than a black-and-white advertisement.

8. Page position

Premium positions and special pages may carry additional charges.

9. Urgency

Last-minute publication may have limited availability or additional charges.

10. Taxes and other charges

The final quotation may include applicable taxes, design charges, agency charges or other publication-related costs.

OMM Advertising’s published tender guide provides indicative newspaper-wise examples and clearly notes that rates can vary according to newspaper, city, language, size and position. Those figures should be treated as examples, not as a permanent rate card.

Indicative rate examples

The earlier OMM tender guide lists examples such as:

• Times of India and Ei Samay combinations
• The Hindu
• Anandabazar Patrika
• Jansatta
• The Statesman

However, the exact current price must be confirmed before booking because newspaper rates, editions and publication policies can change.

For a reliable quotation, share the following details:

1. Advertisement matter
2. Preferred newspaper
3. Language
4. Edition
5. Publication date
6. Number of insertions
7. Classified or display requirement
8. Whether design support is required

Classified Tender Advertisement vs Display Tender Advertisement

Classified tender advertisement

A classified tender notice is generally:

• Text-based
• Compact
• Budget-friendly
• Suitable for short notices
• Published in a notice or classified section
• Useful when the full tender document is available online

It may be suitable when the issuing authority has approved a short format.

Display tender advertisement

A display tender advertisement generally offers:

• Larger text
• Better visual separation
• Box layout
• Logo or department name
• Stronger visibility
• More space for important details

It may be suitable for large projects, major public notices or advertisements that require more visibility.

Which one should you choose?

The correct choice depends on the tender authority’s instructions. If the authority specifies a particular format, that instruction should be followed even if another format is cheaper.

Which Newspapers Are Commonly Considered in Kolkata?

Depending on the tender requirement, clients may consider Bengali, English or national newspapers.

Examples may include:

• Anandabazar Patrika
• Bartaman
• Aajkaal
• Ei Samay
• Sangbad Pratidin
• The Telegraph
• The Times of India
• The Statesman
• Hindustan Times
• Other approved regional or national publications

OMM Advertising states that it handles newspaper advertisements in Bengali, English, Hindi and other regional publications. The correct newspaper should always be selected according to the tender authority’s instructions rather than only by price.

How Many Newspapers Are Required for a Tender Notice?

There is no universal answer for every tender.

The requirement may depend on:

• Central government rules
• State government rules
• Departmental procurement policy
• PSU guidelines
• Funding agency requirements
• Court or authority directions
• Tender value
• Type of procurement
• Local or national competition
• Language requirement

Some tender procedures may require a regional newspaper, a national newspaper or a combination of publications. Others may permit online publication only or may follow a specific e-procurement process.

Before booking, ask the issuing authority:

• Which newspapers are approved?
• How many newspapers are required?
• Which language is required?
• Which edition is required?
• How many times must the notice be published?
• Is a publication certificate required?

How Much Time Does Tender Advertisement Publication Take?

The timeline depends on the newspaper, advertisement size, publication date and booking deadline.

As a practical approach, I recommend starting the process at least two to three working days before the required publication date. For large display advertisements, special positions, multiple newspapers or urgent government notices, more time may be necessary.

A practical timeline

• Day 1: Share tender matter and publication requirement
• Day 1: Receive newspaper-wise quotation
• Day 1: Approve newspaper and rate
• Day 1 or Day 2: Approve final proof
• Day 2: Complete payment and booking
• Scheduled date: Advertisement is published
• After publication: Collect newspaper proof

Do not wait until the last day if the tender submission deadline is close. Newspaper booking deadlines may be earlier than the actual publication date.

What Should Be Checked Before Publication?

Use this checklist before giving final approval.

Common Mistakes in Tender Advertisements

1. Incorrect tender number

A wrong tender number can prevent bidders from finding the correct tender document.

2. Wrong submission deadline

This is one of the most serious errors. The date and time must be checked carefully.

3. Incorrect website

A single spelling error in the tender portal address may make it difficult for bidders to download the document.

4. Missing eligibility details

The advertisement should mention important eligibility requirements where required. The complete details should be available in the tender document.

5. Publishing in the wrong newspaper

If the tender authority requires a specific newspaper, publishing elsewhere may not satisfy the requirement.

6. Choosing the wrong edition

A Kolkata city edition and a wider West Bengal edition may not be treated as the same publication requirement.

7. Changing approved wording

The advertising agency should not change the meaning of the tender notice without written approval.

8. Booking too late

Late booking may lead to missed publication dates.

9. Not keeping publication proof

The organisation should preserve the newspaper copy and other evidence for its records.

10. Using unclear formatting

A crowded advertisement can make dates, numbers and contact details difficult to read.

11. Forgetting the official contact details

Bidders need a reliable source for clarification.

12. Not checking the final proof

Always check the final proof before publication. Once printed, correction may require another advertisement.

Can a Tender Advertisement Be Published Online?

Yes, many tenders are now managed through online e-procurement portals. However, online publication and newspaper publication are not always interchangeable.

The issuing authority should confirm whether:

• Newspaper publication is mandatory
• Website publication is sufficient
• An e-tender portal must be used
• Both newspaper and online publication are required
• A printed newspaper copy must be preserved

A newspaper advertisement may provide the public announcement, while the official tender portal contains the complete tender document, technical conditions, forms and submission process.

Can OMM Advertising Draft the Tender Notice?

OMM Advertising can assist with formatting, layout and publication coordination. However, the tender authority or its authorised officer should provide or approve the final tender matter.

For legal and procurement accuracy, the following should be approved by the issuing organisation:

• Eligibility conditions
• Tender value
• EMD
• Tender fee
• Submission deadline
• Technical requirements
• Contract conditions
• Cancellation rights
• Evaluation method
• Official website
• Contact details

If the tender is sensitive or legally complex, the final content should be reviewed by the organisation’s procurement officer, legal adviser or authorised department.

How to Get a Tender Advertisement Quote

To receive a proper quotation, send the following information:

Organisation Name: Tender Number: Name of Work: Advertisement Matter: Preferred Newspaper: Language: Edition: Publication Date: Number of Insertions: Classified or Display: Colour or Black and White: Design Required: Yes/No Contact Person:

Once these details are available, OMM Advertising can check the publication options and provide a suitable quotation.

After the Tender Advertisement Is Published

Publication is not the end of the process. The issuing organisation should complete the following steps.

1. Check the printed advertisement

Confirm that the advertisement appeared in the correct newspaper and edition.

2. Check the publication date

Make sure the notice was published on the approved date.

3. Preserve the newspaper copy

Keep the original newspaper or a proper e-paper copy.

4. Save the publication certificate

If the newspaper or agency provides a publication certificate, preserve it with the tender file.

5. Upload or attach proof if required

Some departments may require proof of publication in their procurement records.

6. Keep the invoice and payment receipt

These documents may be needed for audit, accounts or reimbursement.

7. Monitor the tender portal

The organisation should ensure that the complete tender document and any corrigendum are available on the official portal.

8. Publish corrigendum if necessary

If there is a change in the tender date, scope, eligibility or other important detail, the issuing authority should follow the applicable correction process. A corrigendum may need to be published in the same or another approved newspaper.

What Is a Tender Corrigendum Advertisement?

A tender corrigendum is a correction or amendment to an already published tender notice.

It may be required when there is a change in:

• Submission deadline
• Opening date
• Tender value
• Technical specification
• Eligibility condition
• EMD amount
• Tender document availability
• Website address
• Scope of work
• Contact details

A corrigendum should clearly mention the original tender reference number and explain what has changed.

Sample corrigendum format

CORRIGENDUM

With reference to Tender Notice No. [number] published on [date], the following amendment is issued:

Existing: __________ Read as: __________

All other terms and conditions shall remain unchanged.

Authorised Signatory Organisation Name

The issuing authority should decide whether the corrigendum must be published in a newspaper, uploaded on the tender portal or both.
