Is BOQ Excel available on Starter?

Starter includes BOQ highlights in the daily WhatsApp summary. One-click Excel export is on Pro. See homepage pricing for plan differences.

Do you extract BOQ from every GeM bid?

Only where the notice includes a usable bill of quantities. Scanned or missing BOQs cannot be turned into a reliable Excel file. The brief will still carry EMD, eligibility and deadlines when those are stated.

Can I upload the Excel as my GeM bid?

No. The export is for estimation. Submit on the official portal in the format GeM or the state portal requires, under your own digital signature.

BOQ highlights and Excel export from government tenders

A BOQ is the bill of quantities — item-wise quantities used to estimate a government tender. Typing it from a PDF is slow and error-prone. Where the notice includes a usable BOQ, TenderChief pulls highlights into the WhatsApp brief and, on Pro, a clean Excel export. Treat it as a first-pass takeoff and verify quantities on the official document.

What is a BOQ in a government tender?

The bill of quantities lists items, units and quantities the buyer wants: cameras, cable, civil items, medical units and so on. Estimators use it to build a quote. On GeM and state portals the BOQ may be a spreadsheet, a scanned table, or buried in the NIT.

How does TenderChief extract BOQ highlights?

When the notice has a usable list, we surface the main lines in the 1-page dossier — enough to see scope and start a margin sketch. We do not invent quantities. If the source BOQ is a scan or incomplete, highlights may be limited and the brief will not pretend otherwise.

Can I export BOQ to Excel?

Pro Contractor plans include one-click BOQ Excel downloads for matching tenders. That is for your estimation sheet, not a bid upload file. Enterprise can add drawing and spec analysis for larger teams.

Should I still verify quantities on the official document?

Always. A missed line or unit change in a corrigendum can wreck a quote. Use TenderChief BOQ as a first pass, then lock quantities from the official GeM or state file before you submit.
