Compatibility: Because the bidding documents include various softwares, including various budget softwares, construction organization design softwares, various graphics softwares, document editing softwares and so on. Paper tender can be printed into physical paper by printer, so electronic tender should be converted into electronic file format that can be read like physical paper by some technology, and it has the same appearance as paper tender (clear and beautiful, consistent in content), and does not depend on the software itself.
2. Legality and security: The paper tender has legal effect after being stamped with the entity seal and the legal representative seal (signature). Obviously, electronic bidding documents also require the same legal effect, which is the premise of the existence of electronic bidding documents. In addition, the electronic tender cannot be easily modified by others to ensure its security.
3. Functional compliance: Traditional paper tenders are printed into paper through various software, and there are a series of operations after signing and stamping.
