If you as a Dutch organisations is applying for a global tender in India for the first time then we will like to share the following suggestion: 

  1. It is good for a Netherlands based company to have an Indian company as a partner who applies for the tender. 
  2. The Indian company needs to have a track record to have successfully applied for tender and having implemented it. 
  3. The lowest cost bidder is generally selected in a global tender. It is important for a company applying for the tender to understand the cost implication. 
  4. Global tenders may not have provision for royalty payment. Hence a company should have full understanding of terms & conditions when to royalty payment or propagation of a variety.
