What does eTendering mean?
eTendering is a digital platform that enables contracting authorities and bidders to process tenders completely online.
This includes the entire process from publication and submission of tenders to the award of the contract.
To ensure the authenticity of the documents submitted, eTendering requires a Qualified Electronic Signature (QES).
Sign remotely or locally
Whether remote or local: you are free to choose how you want to sign qualified signatures.
Our product portfolio includes the SIGN8 app for remote use, which you can use for qualified signing on the same day.
Alternatively, we also offer the option of signing locally without an internet connection using our USB token.
