Tender stamp for bid submissions
A tender stamp goes on every page of a bid in many procurement processes, and the reason is unglamorous: it makes substitution of a page after opening obvious.
Making a tender stamp, step by step
- Open the stamp maker and pick the Tender stamp template, or type your own wording.
- Decide the outline and the colour first, size it to match the paperwork, then add the changing lines.
- Pick a PNG or a JPG on its own, or take everything at once including the retypable Word version.

Every preview on this page carries a faint Stamp-Seal watermark. Your own download does not: the editor renders your stamp again, clean, as a transparent PNG, an SVG or a PDF. See the full template library.

Questions people ask
Is the tender stamp free?
Yes to design it, no to download it. Building a tender stamp costs nothing and needs no account, and you can edit it for as long as you like. Getting the file out is $1.50 for a single image format, or $3.00 for the full pack.
Can I add a date to the tender stamp?
Add a date line anywhere on the tender stamp. If you type a date it stays put; if you leave it empty it becomes today's date each time the file is generated, which is usually what a dated stamp is for.
What format do I get?
A transparent PNG is the one most people want, and it is available on its own. SVG, PDF, EPS and Word are pack-only, because a vector that rescales forever is not the same product as a flat image.
Is there a free maker, or only samples?
It is a tender stamp maker rather than a tender stamp template you download and then fight with in a word processor. Build a tender stamp online from a tender stamp sample, or start empty and use it as a tender stamp generator: every part of the tender stamp design stays adjustable. The tender stamp price covers the file only, $1.50 for a transparent tender stamp png or $3.00 for every format.
Why do tenders require every page stamped?
To make the submission tamper evident. If each page carries the same mark and a serial, replacing one after the bid box is opened is visible. It is also why a stamp with a number that cannot repeat is worth more here than a decorative one.
