विवरण

The "Consortia and Tender Marketing Scheme" is implemented by the National Small Industries Corporation (NSIC) under the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, to support Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) in enhancing their market access. The scheme enables MSEs to participate in government and PSU tenders either individually or through a consortium of similar units. Under this scheme, only MSEs registered under the Single Point Registration Scheme (SPRS) of NSIC are eligible. It excludes units engaged purely in trading without value addition. The scheme facilitates participation in open and limited tenders, including nomination-based tenders.
NSIC assists MSEs by forming consortia of similar product manufacturers to secure bulk orders. It also distributes orders among consortium members based on their production capacity. The scheme supports enterprises by arranging Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) and security deposits on a back-to-back basis and helps in accessing credit and raw materials.
The participation limit for tenders is determined based on the higher of 300% of SPRS monetary limit or the last year’s turnover, with provisions for revision based on growth. The limit is reviewed annually. The scheme aligns with the Public Procurement Policy for MSEs, promoting inclusion of MSEs in government procurement, including subcontracting opportunities.
