Tender work in Malta. Signed by you.

Companies bidding on Malta’s public tenders need registrations, certificates and attested documents that only a licensed professional may do, and a bid prepared to the last page. As an askTender Partner, that work comes to you as priced job offers, done under your own name and registration.

How filing works in Malta

The company presses submit. You do the rest. In Malta, ePPS allows one account per organisation. You don't file on the portal: you do the registrations, certificates and attested documents in your own name, prepare the bid, and can guide the client through the submission.

Guided filing sessions are paid work too: you sit with the client’s signatory, file by file, until the receipt is saved. Nobody ever uses the client’s login or signature.

How work reaches you

Offer. A client’s bid needs work only your profession may do. You get the requirement, the tender’s format, the deadline and your fee.
Accept. Accept within 4 hours and confirm you have no conflict. The client sees your firm’s name and shares what you need.
Do the work. Ask the client for anything missing, right on the job. Sign under your own name and registration, and upload.
Checked. askTender checks every deliverable against the tender before the client sees it. If something’s off, you hear exactly what.
Paid. The client approves, it goes into their bid, and your fee is released.
