The procuring entity logs into the System, then selects the corresponding section "Goods," "Construction and Installation," or "Non-consulting Services" to prepare the E-Bid Invitation Notice and other contents of the E-Bidding Documents.
After completing the E-Bidding Documents, the procuring entity prints the E-Bidding Documents for submission to the investor for appraisal and approval. The procuring entity is responsible for ensuring the consistency between the contents of the E-Bidding Documents on the System and the approved E-Bidding Documents.
If it is necessary to amend the E-Bidding Documents, the procuring entity logs in and makes direct amendments on the System after obtaining the investor's approval on the contents.
In case there is a discrepancy between the information in the attached file of the E-Bidding Documents issued by the procuring entity on the System and the information in the webform, the information in the webform shall be the basis for preparing and evaluating E-Bid Submission.
