IREPS is a highly integrated electronic procurement system developed to allow the vendors to formulate and engage in numerous tenders floated by the Indian Railways. It acts as a central contract system that can eliminate bureaucracy, opacity and difficulty in the procurement process. Specifically for sole proprietorships wanting to bid for contracts with Indian Railways, knowledge of the elaborate registration process, whether as a validating vendor, a new vendor or a vendor consolidating the small business firms, is essential for qualification, the type of documents to provide, as well as the steps followed. IREPS gives sole proprietors a unique opportunity to get numerous tenders for their business and, at the same time, improve business processes by using more efficient solutions instead of the traditional modes of procurement that usually take a lot of time and money. In the following guide, the detailed account of each step is described.
IREPS, also known as the Indian Railways E-Procurement System, is an electronic system to support the procurement of the Indian Railways. It has features that act as a single point for vendors and contractors to bid for contracts in the supply of products and services to the numerous departments within the railway. IREPS is aimed at eliminating paper work and making the procurement system more transparent and fair for both suppliers and the railways. Such tools include tender posting and alerts, bidding, and convenient supplier’s submittals and tracking. To obtain tenders, vendors need to be accredited on IREPS by completing certain forms in compliance with the set standard of eligibility and submitting supporting documents. The system avails a guarantee that all procurement activities are conducted in a secure manner because measures to safeguard such information are strictly implemented. In general, IREPS plays a major role in streamlining the tendering process and improving the visibility of the procurement opportunities for the supplier and the railway industry.
The Indian Railways E-Procurement System (IREPS) offers several key benefits:
Follow these steps to register as a new vendor or contractor on the IREPS portal:
Navigate to http://ireps.gov.in
Fill out the application form and ensure that the details entered are correct for your company, for instance, company name, physical address, telephone number, and PAN number.
All required documents for the company registration process must be attached, including your business registration certificate, PAN card, GST certificate if applicable, and DSC.
Once you are sure of the entries made, submit your application and wait for the approval from the IREPS authorities.
To register on IREPS successfully, prepare the following documents:
IREPS registration is free, but there are registry fees for acquiring a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC). The price of a DSC differs depending on the certifying authority you choose to work with.
Note:- Professional fees for phytosanitary certification is ₹3,000 only with Professional Utilities.
The Digital Signature Certificate used for the IREPS is for mainly one or two years as prescribed by the certifying authority and the type of DSC required. Renewal is important if one is to remain in the bidding process for other tenders to be floated.
IREPS registration is therefore compulsory for any sole trader who wants to do business with the Indian Railways tender. This platform provides exactly what people need in today’s procurement process: transparency, simplicity, and lower costs. A registration procedure includes filling out an online form, attaching documents, like a PAN card, GST certificate, and DSC, and meeting certain criteria. Even though the IREPS registration is free, obtaining a DSC comes for a minimal charge. Sole trading business owners also need to make certain that they make timely renewals of the DSCs to enable them to compete for tenders. IREPS provides sole proprietors with an easy, safe, and convenient way of bidding for contracts in Indian Railways.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
