Tender Bidding




Basic Flow For Tender Bidding Process


  1. Vendor Applies for Bid: Vendors submit
    their bid applications to express their
    interest in participating in the tender.
  2. Eligibility Verification: After applying,
    vendors must provide evidence to establish
    their eligibility for the bid. They are
    required to upload documents, such as
    “company information” and “balance sheet,”
    as outlined in the tender description.
  3. Document Review by Admin: The administrative
    team thoroughly examines the uploaded
    documents to evaluate the vendor’s
    qualification for the bid. Based on this
    review, the vendor is either deemed
    qualified or disqualified from
    further participation in the bid.


    • If vendor qualified for Bid

      Qualification Notification: If the
      vendor meets the qualification
      criteria, they receive
      a notification via email confirming
      their qualification for the bid.
      This communication allows them to
      proceed with the bidding process.

    • If vendor disqualified for
      Bid

      Disqualification Communication: In
      case a vendor does not meet the
      qualification requirements, the
      admin sends an email informing them
      about the disqualification.
      The email may provide the reasons
      behind the disqualification.
      Additionally, the admin may specify
      whether the vendor has the option
      to resubmit their qualification
      documents for reconsideration
      documents.


  • Step 1 : Applying for Bid


  • Step 2 : After applying, vendors are redirected
    to their bid or can access “My Account” to view
    all their submitted bids


  • Step 3 : Vendors are required to upload
    qualifying documents to be eligible for bidding
    on the tender.


  • Step 4 : Admin can either qualify or disqualify
    vendor from bid



  • Step 5 : Vendor can submit bid from website



  • Step 6 : The vendor can modify their bid after
    receiving permission to edit.

  • Tender Bid Selection




    The flow of the tender bidding process
    varies based on the specific type of tender(The
    entire process is handled by the admin)
    • When Tender Type is “Product wise vendor”

      • In the “Product Wise Vendor” type, you
        are required to select individual
        products
        from multiple vendors. Based on these
        selections, multiple
        purchase orders will be generated, each
        corresponding to the specific vendor(s)
        chosen for the respective
        product(s).(Please refer to the
        screenshot below for better
        understanding)
    • When Tender Type is “Single Vendor for all
      Product”

      • In the “Single Vendor for all Product”
        type, you only need to select a single
        bid.
        Instead of selecting each product from
        multiple vendors, this type allows you
        to choose
        one vendor who can fulfill all the
        requirements in a single bid
        submission(Please refer
        to the screenshot below for better
        understanding)



    Bid Selection : Product wise vendor
    (Screenshots)

    • When Tender Type is “Product wise vendor”

      • Upon receiving bids from vendors, the
        next step is to proceed to the “Bid
        Evaluation”
        stage on the tender.
      • Once you click on “Bid Evaluation,” the
        bidding process is closed, and vendors
        cannot bid on the tender anymore. At
        this
        stage, a smart button labeled “Bid
        Evaluation”
        appears, and
        you can proceed to the bid selection
        stage to review and choose right bid for
        tender.
      • Clicking on the smart button will
        redirect you to view all the bids.
      • Selected Bid
      • Confirm Bid

      • Purchase Order
      • Notification: When a purchase order is
        created, a mail notification containing
        the details is sent to the vendor, and
        their bid status is updated to “Won” If
        no bid is selected, the vendor receives
        a mail apologizing for not being chosen,
        and their bid status is marked as “Lost”

      • Purchase order and bills on website



    Bid Selection : Single Vendor for all
    Product

    • When Tender Type is “Single Vendor for all
      Product”

      • In the specified tender type “Single
        Vendor for all Product”, vendors are
        assigned ranks based on their bid
        Prices. For example, if your rank is 1,
        it signifies that your bid is the lowest
        among all the participating vendors.
      • After receiving bids from vendors, you
        can access the “Bid Evaluation” section
        in the tender. By clicking the
        “Legit Bid” smart button, you can view
        legitimate bids that meet the required
        criteria

      • Legit Bid

        1. In the “Single Vendor for all
          Product” type, you are required
          to select only one
          bid from a vendor to create a
          purchase order.
        2. For a bid to be considered
          “legit,” the vendor must provide
          valid prices for
          each and every product included
          in their bid. This means that
          the vendor needs
          to specify a price for every
          product they are offering.
        3. If the vendor sets the price of
          any product to 0 or leaves it
          blank, their bid
          will not be considered “legit.”
          This is because a bid with
          missing or zero
          prices does not fulfill the
          tender requirements.
        4. Only bids that meet the
          requirement of having valid
          prices for all the products
          will be deemed “legit” and
          eligible for further
          consideration in the bid
          evaluation process.
        5. In our example, out of the total
          3 bids received, only 2 bids are
          considered
          “legit.” By clicking on the
          “Legit Bid” option, you can
          access and review the
          bids that meet the necessary
          requirements
        6. Bid Selection
        7. Bid Confirmation

          • Mail Notification :
            Vendor bid is selected
          • Purchase Order


            • Once a purchase
              order is
              created, vendors
              can view the
              purchase order
              and
              associated bills
              on their website
              portal.
