1) The Ministry of Education (MOE) is aware of some fraudulent activities involving fake documents purportedly issued by MOE to request quotations for goods or services, and to issue fake Award Notifications and Purchase Orders (POs) to affected vendors.

MOE would like to advise vendors that in general procurement are processed via GeBIZ and correspondences on procurement with MOE or schools should be via email addresses ending with gov.sg or edu.sg.

3) MOE takes a serious view of the cases and has referred them to the Police for investigation. MOE has also informed affected vendors to disregard the fake correspondences.

4) MOE advises vendors to be vigilant of suspicious mails and phone calls and to exercise caution when sharing their business or personal details online. Should anyone encounter this scam, please disregard these fake order(s) and if necessary, lodge a police report.

At the Ministry of Finance (MOF) Committee of Supply (COS) Debate 2022, it was announced that Government would be working to allow auto-approval for factoring for certain contracts so that suppliers can have more financing options to help ease their cashflow.

We would like to share that since 1 April 2023, selected government procurement have included clauses (under the Payment section) which states that "The Authority is agreeable to the Contractor assigning its Receivables to any Factor, subject to the following ...". With the addition of these clauses, suppliers will be allowed to enter into factoring arrangement with auto-approval from the Government agency if the factor is listed in the "List of Factoring Companies" on Vendors@Gov. For procurement contracts with the abovementioned clauses, there is no need for suppliers to provide notification or seek approval from the Government agency before submitting a factored e-invoice, unless specified otherwise in the contract.

For contracts without the abovementioned clauses, suppliers can still check with the Government agency that it is working with on the process of obtaining approval for the factoring arrangement.

We will be introducing a new digital payment method, PayNow, for the payment of Government Supplier Registration (GSR) application fee. GSR applicants can choose to pay for new GSR application or renewal via PayNow with effect from 1 September 2023.

A new Corppass user (of a business entity) granted access to GeBIZ e-Service in Corppass may log in to GeBIZ. In the event where there is only a single account in the business entity, and this new Corppass user does not hold a GeBIZ account, he will not be able to proceed further. With the new GeBIZ enhancement, he can approach the business entity Corppass Administrator or Sub-Administrator granted access to GeBIZ e-Service to log into GeBIZ and perform the account swap to the new user.

To locate the Corppass Administrator or Sub-Administrator, login to Corppass website to search. We hope this enhancement will save time and give convenience to new Corppass users. If you have any suggestion to improve GeBIZ, please contact support@gebiz.gov.sg.
