Understanding Annex 3

Annex 3 is crucial—it defines exactly what’s covered under PSG.

What Annex 3 Contains

• Specific items: Software licenses, modules, features
• Approved pricing: Maximum claimable for each item
• Mandatory specifications: What must be included
• Optional add-ons: Additional covered items

How to Use Annex 3

1. Download Annex 3 for your chosen solution
2. Share it with the vendor
3. Request a quotation that matches Annex 3 exactly
4. Verify items and pricing align

Common Annex 3 Mistakes

• Wrong items: Quotation includes items not in Annex 3
• Wrong pricing: Items priced higher than Annex 3 caps
• Wrong vendor: Quotation from non-pre-approved vendor
• Missing items: Required items omitted from quotation

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find a PSG grant vendor?

All PSG grant vendors are listed on the official GoBusiness Gov Assist portal. Browse by sector or function to see pre-approved vendors for each solution category. This is the only authoritative source—do not rely on vendors claiming PSG approval without verifying on the portal.

What is a pre-approved vendor for PSG?

A pre-approved vendor is a company that Enterprise Singapore has vetted and authorized to provide solutions under the PSG grant. These vendors have demonstrated their capability to deliver the solution and meet PSG compliance requirements. You can ONLY claim PSG funding for purchases from pre-approved vendors listed on GoBusiness Gov Assist.

Can I use any IT vendor for PSG?

No. PSG requires you to purchase from pre-approved vendors only. Using a non-approved vendor means your grant application will be rejected. Always verify vendor approval status on GoBusiness Gov Assist before proceeding.

How many PSG grant vendors can I choose from?

The number varies by solution category. Popular categories like accounting software may have 10+ pre-approved vendors, while niche solutions might have only 2-3. This gives you options to compare pricing, support, and implementation quality.

What if my preferred vendor is not pre-approved?

If your preferred vendor is not on the pre-approved list, you have two options: (1) Choose a different pre-approved vendor offering a similar solution, or (2) Consider the Enterprise Development Grant (EDG) instead, which allows any vendor but has a longer approval process. See our PSG vs EDG comparison for guidance.

How do I verify if a vendor is PSG pre-approved?

Go to GoBusiness Gov Assist, search for the solution category, and check if the vendor appears in the list. The listing shows the specific solutions each vendor is approved for—a vendor may be approved for some solutions but not others.

Can I switch PSG vendors after applying?

You can request a change of vendor before your grant is approved, but it requires submitting a new quotation and may delay processing. After approval, changing vendors typically requires cancelling and reapplying. Choose your pre-approved vendor carefully before submitting your application.
