1 Government Printing Works implements a new Notice Quoting System As part of enhancing their investment in the egazette Solution, Government Printing Works will be implementing a new Notice Quoting System from 7 November This new functionality will bring internal process and system enhancements to GPW and streamline the notice quoting process for you, the customer. QUOTING CATEGORIES In line with the GPW notice tariff pricing structure implemented in April 2016, the Quoting System will be defined into three categories: 1. Variable Priced Form Content 2. Variable Priced Separate Content 3. Fixed Priced Notices VARIABLE PRICED FORM CONTENT NOTICES When requesting a quote for a Variable Priced Form Content notice, e.g. Orders of the Court, you are required to your request for quote with the completed Adobe Form attached to info.egazette@gpw.gov.za. Form Content notices follow a different process to Variable Priced - Separate Content notices in the Notice Quoting System. The Adobe form supplied is uploaded by the Contact Centre Agent and the system automatically calculates the cost of your notice based on the information supplied. Please refer below for form completion rules relating to Form Content notices. For Variable Priced Form Content notices, i.e. Sales in Execution, Orders of the Court, Company Notices, etc. it is critical that these Adobe Forms are completed correctly and adhere to the guidelines stipulated by GPW. Quotes for these notices can have multiple line items. This means that different notice types can be listed on a single quote, e.g. 2 x Company Notices and/or 2 x General Notices and/or 2 x TForm4. Quote Cost = R Quote Cost = R These rules apply to ALL notice types with text boxes. The text box on page 2 is for entering the details The font type & size must be Arial pt 9 Line spacing should be the default of 1.0 Do not use tabs, additional hard/soft returns at the end of the line/paragraphs. The quote you receive from GPW is system generated and will be based on the format of the content received. Should you submit your form with the incorrect formatting for quoting purposes, GPW will quote accordingly, however, upon submitting your notice, GPW will adhere to the requirements of the gazette layout and format the content as required. Should there be a difference in cost vs quote, GPW will not be held liable to refund any amount to you, the customer. The example above shows the differences in cost, based on the correct/incorrect formatting used on the same form.
