Digital Signature Certificate for E-Tenders

E-procurement means buying and selling goods or services online between businesses. It is different from normal online shopping because only registered users (like government departments or approved vendors) can take part.

E-procurement helps businesses and suppliers connect to send bids, raise purchase orders, and carry out other buying activities.

To handle these online purchases, e-tendering is used. E-tendering is an online system where businesses advertise their requirements, and suppliers can submit their offers.

To take part in e-tendering, a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is mandatory. This is used to verify the identity of the bidder and to ensure that all documents are safe and secure.

For e-tendering, a Class 3 Digital Signature Certificate is needed because it offers the highest level of security. The certificate can be valid for 1, 2, or 3 years, depending on your choice.

How does a Digital Signature work?

While registering for a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC), a private key and a public key are created using the same algorithm by the Certifying Authority (CA).

• The private key is securely shared only with the registered individual or organization.
• The public key is made available to everyone and is used to verify the digital signature.

The private key is used to create the digital signature, and the public key is used to verify it. A digital signature is considered valid only when the public key can successfully verify the signature created using the matching private key.

Advantages of E-Tendering

• Instead of submitting tender documents in paper format, all the information can now be uploaded and stored online. These saved documents can also be reused for future tenders.
• E-tendering saves time because it's much faster than the traditional paper-based process. Since your documents are already available online, reapplying becomes easier and more efficient.
• It also helps save money by reducing paperwork, avoiding duplicate expenses, and cutting printing and courier costs.
• When multiple departments or agencies are involved in purchasing, electronic systems make the buying process smoother and more transparent.
• Online transactions also speed up the procurement process. As a result, suppliers can respond faster, and businesses can complete deals in a shorter time.
