In the public procurement system, EDS has become not just an authorization tool, but a legal confirmation of identity and responsibility. Every document, every download, every action in the system is a digital footprint that belongs to a specific person. Therefore, if a supplier declares specialists as part of the qualification requirements for services or works, each of them must have their own EDS, and not the general signature of the management or accountant. EDS is a personal legal identifier. The electronic signature confirms: the personality of the specialist, his participation in the project, his responsibility is for the accuracy of the information provided, the authenticity of documents related to qualifications. This excludes situations where one specialist "participates" in several purchases at the same time, or when a company claims people it has not actually engaged or seen. Declared specialist = a specialist with his own EDS When participating in the procurement of services or work, the supplier must confirm the availability of qualified and experienced staff. Confirmation is considered appropriate only if: the specialist is actually on staff or engaged by an official contract, the documents are drawn up correctly, all materials related to the qualification are signed by his personal EDS. This is a direct requirement of good faith and transparency: everyone who is listed in the application must be personally confirmed by the system. Why can't I sign documents for the director's EDS staff? Signing the head's EDS qualification documents is the most common mistake made by suppliers. This is unacceptable because: the director does not have the professional qualifications of the staff; he has no right to confirm someone else's personal experience.; such signing distorts the meaning of the qualification requirements.; this creates the risk of the application being rejected as inappropriate. The director's EDS confirms the company's management actions. The specialist's EDS confirms his personal competence. These are two different legal levels of responsibility. Why does the market and both sides need this? For the customer, this is a guarantee that the work will be performed by real specialists with proven experience. For the supplier— this is protection from accusations of fictitious personnel and confidence that the application will pass verification. The EDS here plays the role of a digital filter that separates transparent participants from nominal ones.
