Tender work in Singapore. Signed by you.

Companies bidding on Singapore’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 Singapore

The company presses submit. You do the rest. In Singapore, the GeBIZ Authorised Representative must be someone who can represent the company. 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.

Corppass can authorise a third-party firm; whether GeBIZ accepts it is being confirmed with the portal.

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.

Who does what

Rules we follow in Singapore

Corporate service provider (CSP) registered with ACRA / company…. CSPs are regulated for AML/CFT; they act under their own registered filing-agent identity on BizFile, not the client's Singpass.
Public accountant (ACRA-registered) / chartered accountant (ISCA). Statutory audits may only be signed by a public accountant; independence rules bar auditing a client for whom they prepared the statements in some cases.
Advocate and solicitor (Singapore law practice). Singapore's professional conduct rules restrict lawyers from sharing fees with or paying referral fees to non-lawyers; askTender must not take a share of legal fees. (Rule text not fetched in this research.)
Translator (translation certified by the issuing country's embassy…. Uncertified translations are not accepted for Corppass foreign-entity registration.
Tender consultant / bid writer. Cannot submit on GeBIZ in the client's name; the GeBIZ Authorised Representative must be a person with authority to represent the company and accounts cannot be transferred outside the company.
Professional engineer / registered technical personnel. Top CRS grades require full-time, Singapore-based technical staff — a partner cannot simply lend their name.
