DSC Expiry Reminder
Enter when your digital signature certificate runs out and save reminders to your calendar, so it never lapses on a closing day.
You get a calendar file (.ics) with an entry on the expiry date and 30, 15, 7 and 1 day before it. Open it to add the entries to Google Calendar, Outlook or your phone’s calendar. Nothing you type here is sent to Bidkoo.
Common questions
- Why does a DSC expiry matter for tenders?
- Most e-procurement portals need a valid Class 3 digital signature certificate to sign in and to sign and submit a bid. If the certificate has run out on the closing day, the bid cannot be submitted, and getting a new one takes time. A reminder a month ahead leaves room to arrange it.
- Where do I find the expiry date of my DSC?
- The certificate itself states a "valid from" and a "valid to" date. You can read them in the software that came with your USB token, or in the certificate details your browser or operating system shows. The certifying authority that issued it can also tell you.
- What do I do after I get a new DSC?
- A new certificate is a different certificate, so portals that hold your old one usually need the new one registered against your bidder account before you can sign with it. Check each portal you bid on for its own steps, and do it well before a closing date.
- Which other documents can I add?
- Anything with an end date that a tender may ask for: an ISO certificate, a solvency certificate, a labour licence, a bank guarantee, or a document you name yourself. Each one gets its own reminders in the same calendar file.
- Is what I type stored anywhere?
- No. The calendar file is made in your browser and saved to your device. Nothing you type on this page is sent to Bidkoo.
