Tender ID on CPPP: what it is and how to search by it
Tender ID. The identifier the eProcurement system gives each tender on CPPP and the GePNIC portals. It is the reliable way to find one tender again, because CPPP tender links do not work outside the session that made them.
Checked against its sources on 23 September 2026.
What it looks like
On GePNIC portals it is a structured string: year, an organisation code, a number and a suffix, as in 2026_MES_786937_1. The same Tender ID appears on every GePNIC portal that carries the tender, which is how one procurement listed on two portals can be recognised as one.
CPWD eTender numbers its tenders on its own system, and the listing on CPPP carries that number; a CPWD Tender ID such as 166702 searches correctly on CPPP.
Why the ID and not the link
A CPPP tender detail address carries an encoded value tied to the session that produced it. Opened anywhere else, from an email, a forwarded message or a bookmark, it returns an invalid URL error. The Tender ID has no such problem: paste it into the Keyword box on CPPP's latest active tenders page, type the image code, and it returns the one tender.
How ScanX uses it
Every CPPP and CPWD row in a digest carries its Tender ID, because that is the thing you can act on. Separately, one procurement often appears on several portals under several buyer names; ScanX collapses those rows on a normalised reference, so it reaches you once.

Where ScanX reads this for you
Every CPPP and CPWD row in a ScanX digest carries its Tender ID and one line saying which box to type it into, because a CPPP link would fail for you. GeM rows link straight to the bid document.
