Entrepreneurs to Sign Documents on Etender.gov.az Portal Using SİMA İmza
Entrepreneurs can now sign documents required for public procurement online
As part of Azerbaijan’s digital transformation, “SiMA İmza” has been integrated into the unified public procurement web portal. The State Agency for Antimonopoly and Consumer Market Control under the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan has enabled documents to be signed digitally on the portal (https://etender.gov.az/) using “SİMA İmza.”
Entrepreneurs can currently use “SİMA İmza” on the portal to sign companies’ financial statements, as well as applications to obtain relevant certificates from the State Tax Service. The process is carried out entirely digitally. Entrepreneurs obtain a digital signature through the mobile app without visiting any service center and can participate in tender processes online directly through the portal.
This simplifies the document-signing process, reduces the operational burden on procurement participants, and allows procedures to be completed more flexibly and promptly. At the same time, obtaining a signature online makes it easier for small and medium-sized enterprises to participate in public procurement, helping to expand competition and enhance the transparency of processes.
This innovation is part of the work being carried out in the country to digitize public services. The “Digital Development Concept of the Republic of Azerbaijan,” approved by the Decree of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan dated January 16, 2025, identifies the modernization of public services and their transition to digital platforms as key priorities.
“AzInTelecom” will continue to expand SİMA’s areas of application and create a convenient and accessible digital service experience for users.
