What is a Digital Signature for e-Tendering?
Online tender and e-procurement portals require a Class 3 Combo Digital Signature Certificate — one that can both sign and encrypt. The signing certificate authenticates your bid, while the encryption certificate protects confidential price bids until the official opening date.
Most government, PSU and state e-procurement portals (CPPP/eprocure.gov.in, IREPS, GeM and others) mandate this dual-key DSC. SignSecure issues Class 3 Combo certificates that work across all major tendering platforms.
