e-GP payment methods: paying document fees and securities
Money moves at several points in the e-GP process, and each has its own timing. Miss a payment window and a good bid never happens. Here's what you pay for and how.
What you actually pay for
- Registration & annual renewal — a one-time registration fee plus a yearly renewal to keep your tenderer account active.
- Tender document fee — paid to purchase a specific tender's document before you can submit.
- Tender security — the bid bond required by the notice, in the stated amount and form.
How payments are made
e-GP payments run through designated banks and the portal's supported channels. Depending on the payment type, that can mean an online transaction or a bank instrument referenced in your submission. The portal lists the current accepted methods — follow those exactly.
Timing is everything
The document-purchase window usually closes before the submission deadline. Arrange tender security early rather than on closing day. Payments that clear late are the same as payments not made.
Keep the evidence
Save every payment receipt and instrument copy — you'll reference them in your submission and may need them to release your security later.
How Tenderytics helps
