Important : it must be taken into account that the request of the Signature Amendment type will validate that the company re-annexes the summary document of the offer generated by the e-Licita tools. If the purpose of the request is not to amend the signature of this document, you must choose another type.

    Password: which allows access to the notifications reported with the NIF +
    (mail/mobile) in the generation of the notification and
    Certificate: which allows access to all notifications. It should be noted that
