Signing of tenders
When you submit a tender at the portal it has to be signed. Signing is the way you say that you are happy with the contents of your tender and
that you accept that the procuring officer can take part of it after the deadline for tenders has passed. After you sign your tender it will be locked for changes.
If you want to change the contents of your tender you can revoke the signing as long as the tender period is still active. When you revoke the signing
the lock is removed and you can make changes. Regardless of any changes you have to sign your tender again for it to be evaluated.
