Revised and Final Privacy Policy for Bids App

Last Updated: 12/09/2025

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: READ BEFORE USING OUR SERVICES

Bids Apps information are provided for informational purposes only, and we are not liable for its accuracy or completeness.

1. Sources of Public Information

Our commitment to transparency is paramount. Bids App aggregates notices and related documents from two categories of publicly available and open sources:

A. Official Government Portals:
Our platform gathers data directly from publicly accessible government procurement websites. Our primary sources include, but are not limited to:

• Central Public Procurement Portal: https://etenders.gov.in/eprocure/app

• Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana: https://pmgsytenders.gov.in/nicgep/app

• Andhra Pradesh Procurement Portal: https://tender.apeprocurement.gov.in/
  (Note: The list contains the data that is freely avilable to public but scattered. This list is updated periodically as new public sources are updated.)

B. Public Tender Notices in Newspapers:
We digitize tender advertisements published by government entities in widely-circulated newspapers, accessed via their official e-paper websites, including Eenadu, Sakshi, The Hindu, and others.

Data Accuracy and User Responsibility:
While we strive for accuracy, Bids App does not claim ownership or guarantee the timeliness or correctness of information from these third-party sources. We are not liable for any errors, discrepancies, or omissions. Users MUST verify all tender details on the official government website or publication before taking any action.
