| Discontinuation of the Previous Version of the Tender Preparation Tool |
Dear EO User
Already three (3) weeks have passed since the implementation of the new ePPS, which included the new Tender Preparation Tool (TPT).
This new TPT is now called WebTPT since it is a web-based tool that no longer depends on third party software.
The new ePPS still has available the previous TPT, where economic operators can make use of it to make submission, but it has been this Department’s recommendation from the outset that you start familiarizing yourselves and make use of the new tool.
It is planned that the last day, where the previous version of the TPT remains available will be 31/03/2023.
As of the 01/04/2023, only the new WebTPT will be available to make submissions with.
We advise you to access the link below, to download a short clip and guide that has been prepared by this Department, which explain the use of the WebTPT:
https://contracts.gov.mt/en/NewsAndInfo/Documents/WebTPTClipandGuide.zip
As always, it is advised that when making submissions, you do not leave it to the last minute so that we can assist as much as possible.
Your cooperation and understanding will augur a smooth transition.
The Department’s IT Unit will be available to assist you with any queries and / or difficulties that you may have.
The Unit can be reached by email on etenders@gov.mt or contact number +356 2378 1000.

| Email Automated Notifications |
Dear ePPS Users
As you may have realised the deployment of the new ePPS was carried out over the weekend.
Unfortunately, there are some teething issues, one of which is the automated notifications that are sent by email.
Unfortunately, these are not being dispatched by the system.
The System Developers are investigating this and hopefully, the issue will be resolved in the shortest possible time.
Any inconvenience is very much regretted.

| Upgrading of ePPS, new WebTPT and New Contact Numbers |
This coming weekend, the planned deployment of ePPS will upgrade the system to a new version, which includes a new Tender Preparation Tool (TPT) called WebTPT.
Economic Operators can familiarize themselves with the new WebTPT by making use of the prepared clip and guide. Both these can be downloaded in a .zip file from the link below:
https://contracts.gov.mt/en/NewsAndInfo/Documents/WebTPTClipandGuide.zip
The current TPT will remain available for use on the new system but this will eventually be discontinued.
