We will continue to respond to technical queries on how to use the eTendering System. Details of how to submit questions can be found in section 3 of the IFA.

How to submit your tender

All tenders for new contracts must be submitted through the LSC's secure eTendering system, which can be accessed through the eTendering portal.

When you first visit to the eTendering site, you will need to register your organisation's details to be able to use the system - you will then be provided with a username and password.
