Electronic Lodgement

• Note Large filesizes can take a long time to lodge, please allow time to resolve any issues or problems.
• Remember the Tenderer is responsible for lodging the Tender on time.
• The complete Tender must be received by the closing time, otherwise the Tender will be deemed late. The date and time on the receipt is a world synchronised time.
• Please ensure you WAIT, until all your files are transmitted and, for the Confirmation Form and Receipt. Please print your receipt, as it is the only evidence of your electronically lodged Tender.

Using Electronic Lodgement:

eLodgement provides for a structured process offering a convenient alternative to paper-based lodgement. The technology involved however requires some different procedures.

Considerations:

The Northern Territory Government eLodgement system allows tenders to be invited and offers made by secure electronic transfer via our web site. Tenders lodged electronically will be processed with the same levels of security and confidentiality that are applied to tenders lodged by other means.

By submitting a tender through the eTendering system, the tenderer accepts the NT Government conditions of lodgement.
The electronic lodgement system ensures that on completion and issue of receipt, the tender is encrypted, securely stored and backed up, receipted and made inaccessible prior to close of tenders.

Accessibility after close of tenders is similar to the paper tender opening process. The “Electronic Tender Box” containing the received tenders is “opened” through a controlled process which includes electronic decryption using secure “keys”.

Note: the eLodgement system does not place a limit on the total size of the files that can be transmitted. However large file sizes can take a long time to transmit and are more prone to corruption and failure for reasons beyond the control of the NT Government. Current NT Government Policy states that tenders must be received in full prior to the closing date and time, hence transmitting unnecessary information (particularly graphics) not required by the tender documents can be risky if this necessitates the lodgement of large files.
