Procurement Preference Registration for Micro and Small Enterprises

Micro and small enterprises in Mizoram can register with their District Commerce & Industries Office under the Mizoram Procurement Preference Policy for Micro and Small Enterprises, 2025, notified in February 2025. One registration is the single source of every procurement benefit. Registration is valid for five years.

What you get

• A price preference when competing for state-government purchases
• Reduced earnest money and tender document charges
• A minimum share of state purchasing set aside for Mizoram micro and small enterprises

The department's two policy documents describe some terms differently. The investment policy says registered enterprises are exempt from tender fees and earnest money, while the procurement policy speaks of a reduction of half. They also describe the 12 percent price preference against different comparison bids: the lowest out-of-state bid in one, the lowest bidder where that bidder is not registered in the other.

Who can apply

• Micro and small enterprises located in Mizoram
• Udyam Registration
• Continually operational, with products readily available in local markets
• At least 70 percent local people, meaning permanent residents of Mizoram
• Not applicable to externally aided projects

How to apply: Submit the prescribed application form to the concerned District Commerce & Industries Office (formerly District Industries Centre), with the registration fee paid at the Treasury. The district officer physically verifies the unit and issues a Registration Certificate.
