Seven Critical Do’s and Don’ts for Bidders

SEVEN CRITICAL DO’S AND DON’TS FOR BIDDERS

Specifically for Supplier organizations, the following 'SEVEN KEY INSTRUCTIONS for BIDDERS' must be assiduously adhered to: 1. Obtain individual Digital Signing Certificate (DSC or DC) well in advance of your first

tender submission deadline on ETS 2. Register your organization on ETS well in advance of the important deadlines for your

first tender on ETS viz ‘Date and Time of Closure of Procurement of Tender Documents’ and ‘Last Date and Time of Receipt of Bids’. Please note that even after acceptance of your registration by the Service Provider, to respond to a tender you will also require time to complete activities related to your organization, such as creation of Marketing Authority (MA), ie a department within the Supplier/ Bidder Organization responsible for responding to tenders, users for one or more such MAs, assigning roles to them, etc. It is mandatory to create at least one MA. This unique feature of creating an MA enhances security and accountability within the Supplier/ Bidder Organization.

3. Get your organization's concerned executives trained on ETS well in advance of your

first tender submission deadline on ETS 4. For responding to any particular tender, the tender (ie its Tender Search Code or TSC)

has to be assigned to a MA. Further, an ‘Official Copy of Tender Documents’ should be procured/ downloaded before the expiry of Date and Time of Closure of Procurement of Tender Documents. Note: Official copy of Tender Documents is distinct from downloading ‘Free Copy of Tender Documents’. Official copy of Tender Documents is the equivalent of procuring physical copy of Tender Documents with official receipt in the paper-based manual tendering system.

5. Submit your bids well in advance of tender submission deadline on ETS (There could be

last minute problems due to internet timeout, breakdown, et al) 6. It is the responsibility of each bidder to remember and securely store the Pass-Phrase

for each Bid-Part submitted by that bidder. In the event of a bidder forgetting the Pass-Phrase before the expiry of deadline for Bid-Submission, facility is provided to the bidder to ‘Annul Previous Submission’ from the Bid-Submission Overview page and start afresh with new Pass-Phrase(s)

7. ETS will make your bid available for opening during the Online Public Tender Opening

Event (TOE) ‘ONLY IF’ your ‘Status pertaining Overall Bid-Submission’ is ‘Complete’. For your record, you can generate and save a copy of ‘Final Submission Receipt’. This receipt can be generated from 'Bid-Submission Overview Page' only if the ‘Status pertaining overall Bid-Submission’ is ‘Complete’.

NOTE: While the first three instructions mentioned above are especially relevant to first-time users of ETS, the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh instructions are relevant at all times.

Registering on ETS as Supplier Organization

Close

ElectronicTendering System® (ETS)Introduction to Supplier Registration

To use the ElectronicTender System® (ETS), an organization has to register on ETS as a ‘Buyer organization’ and/ or independently as a

‘Supplier organization’. The Registration Form should be filled by a senior person of the registering organization. In the terminology of the

ElectronicTender System™ (ETS), this registering person will be referred to as the Super User (SU) of that organization.

The SU is the main contact person from the registering organization who would interact with ETS for all high-level decisions such as

changing registration information, empowering other users (viz. Master Users and Authorized Users) in his organization to use the ETS for defined activities, receive confidential messages from ETS, configure the ETS in accordance with his organizations tendering policy and so

on.

Since the SU has a crucial role to play in the usage of this system, it is recommended that he be a senior person from the organization,

with powers to delegate authority for various tendering activities within the organization.

During the process of registration, the SU would be creating for himself -- User ID, Password and S-PIN for his authentication. In the light

of the stringent security set-up deployed by ETS, it is important that the SU keep a record of his Password/ S-PIN in safe custody.

The procedure for Forgot Password/ S-PIN would require the use of Digital Certificate (DC). Record of User ID should also be kept.

Operational requirements of ETS mandate the use of Digital Certificate (DC) by the SU, as well as, other users. If the SU already possesses a valid DC issued by a Certifying Authority (CA) duly licensed as per the Indian IT Act 2000, he can use the same DC on ETS.

In this case, while registering on ETS the SU should submit the same E-mail ID for which the existing DC was issued. If the SU does not

possess a valid DC, he should obtain one for the E-mail ID which he would be submitting during registration on ETS.

The registering person or user would be shown a preview of the information submitted, so that he can check the correctness of the

information furnished by him and edit it, if required. The form should be submitted after all the mandatory fields have been filled in, and the data entered meets the validation rules for the respective fields. The user will be informed if the validation requirements are not met.

On successful completion of the submission process, the user would receive an acknowledgement on screen. Acknowledgement at this stage will not mean "Acceptance of Registration". "Acceptance of Registration" may be subject to preliminary screening, offline receipt of

specified documents necessary for verification (if required by the service provider), and receipt of payment (if applicable) from the user.

The user would also receive e-mails at various stages conveying additional instructions if any.

NOTE: For registering on ETS go to the home page of the portal, and select the link 'Supplier Organization' under the section titled

'Registration' and proceed further to submit registration request for acceptance by the Service Provider.

Export Public Key for Uploading Digital Certificate (DC) on ETS

Close

ETS User-Guidance CenterUpload Digital Certificate (DC)


Upload Digital Certificate (DC)

For integrity of data and authenticity/ non-repudiation of electronic records, and to be complaint with IT Act 2000, it is necessary for each user to have a Digital Certificate (DC), also referred to as Digital Signature Certificate (DSC), of Class 2 or above, issued by a Certifying Authority (CA) licensed by Controller of Certifying Authorities (CCA) [refer http://www.cca.gov.in]. Note: It is recommended that DCs be obtained well in advance so that there are no last minute problems. Furthermore, it is also important to ensure that the necessary driver for the DC, as required by the operating system of the user’s computer is properly installed. (Precautions to be taken at the time of DC Renewal) It is important to note that a DC is never renewed. Always, a new DC is issued. Even after a DC expires, it may be required for decrypting documents which have been encrypted using the corresponding Public-Key. Similarly, the Public-Key of the expired DC may still be required for verifying the digital signature affixed using the corresponding Private-Key. Keeping this in view, users are requested as follows: A) Not to throw away their expired DCs, if they anticipate that the old DC may be required in future for activities outlined above B) Always take a new DC on a new token-drive (also called USB-token). Alternatively, to reduce cost, if the USB-token of the old DC is to be used, care must be taken to ensure that the old DC is not erased. Operational requirements of ETS mandate the use of Digital Certificate (DC) by all ‘users’. The DC to be submitted by the user should have been issued for the same e-mail Id which had been submitted on ETS for that user’s profile. If a user has not submitted a valid DC on ETS, then on login, a screen will appear for submitting (ie uploading) his DC. Necessary ‘Help’ would be available on that screen itself. However, the user is advised to keep his Public Key (ie, .CER file) ‘ready’ on his computer before logging on to ETS. Essentially, this would consist of ‘Exporting’ the Public Key (.CER file) from the Digital Certificate. The procedure for exporting the Public Key (.CER file) is given below:

Export Public Key (.CER File)

Note: The procedure outlined below is assuming Windows 7 - Operating System and Microsoft Internet Explorer Browser 10.x. The procedure may vary slightly for other Microsoft Operating Systems and versions of Microsoft Internet Browsers. Step-1 : Open the Microsoft Internet Explorer Browser, select ‘Tools’ menu and click on ‘Internet Options’

Step-2 : The following Microsoft setup screen would be displayed. Click on ‘Content’ tab, and then click on ‘Certificates’

Step-3 : List of all Digital Certificates available on your system will be displayed on the following Microsoft setup screen. Select the Digital Certificate for which the Public Key (.CER file) is to be exported, and click on ‘Export’’

Step-4 : The following Microsoft setup screen would be displayed. Click on ‘Next’’

Step-5 : The following Microsoft setup screen would be displayed. From the available options, select ‘No, do not export the private key’ option, and click on ‘Next’’

Step-6 : The following Microsoft setup screen would be displayed. Click on ‘Next’’

Step-7 : The following Microsoft setup screen would be displayed. Click on ‘Browse’ and select the path/ location where the Public Key (.CER file) is required to be saved. Then click on ‘Next’’

Step-8 : The following Microsoft setup screen would be displayed. Click on ‘Finish’

Step-9 : The following Microsoft setup screen would be displayed. The Message, ‘The export was Successful’ would be displayed. Click on ‘OK’.

The Public Key (.CER file) of the selected Digital Certificate has now been successfully exported, and saved as a file with .CER

extension at the selected location.

First Login

ElectronicTendering System® (ETS)First Login


First Login

After the acceptance of registration when the Super User (SU) logs in to ETS for the first time using -- User ID, Password and S-PIN (created during registration), it is called ‘First Login’. Similarly when other users of the organization (created under Virtual Hierarchy module) log in to ETS for the first time using -- User ID, Password and S-PIN, it is also called as ‘First Login’. After first login, each user would be guided to perform the following activities:

Upload Digital Certificate (Public Key)

It is assumed that before First Login, the user has already procured a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) of Class-II or above from a licensed Certifying Authority (CA). DSC is also referred to as Digital certificate (DC). The DC should be issued for the same E-mail ID as submitted for the user’s profile. In this context, Uploading DC implies uploading the Public Key (.CER file) of the concerned user. Essentially, this would consist of first ‘Exporting’ the Public Key (.CER file) from the Digital Certificate, and then uploading to ETS. The procedure for exporting the Public Key (.CER file) is given under ' Export Public Key for Upload Digital Certificate (DC) on ETS' in the 'ETS User-Guidance Center'.

Change Temporary Password

Password created during registration/ creation of user is treated as ‘Temporary Password’. On ‘First Login’, the user is forced to change the Temporary Password. The user would also need to 'Digitally Sign the new Password'.

Change Temporary S-PIN

S-PIN created during registration/ creation of user is treated as ‘Temporary S-PIN’. On ‘First Login’, the user is forced to change the temporary S-PIN. The user would also need to 'Digitally Sign the new S-PIN'.

Digitally Sign Terms and Conditions of Site Usage

In addition, the SU of the organization would also be guided to Digitally Sign Terms and Conditions of Site Usage (which were earlier accepted by the SU during registration).
