Once the RFB business process is active in Primavera Unifier, the bid procedure runs as follows:
You:
| 1 | Start the bid procedure by opening the RFB, filling in the form, and sending it for internal review (if necessary). |
| 2 | When the internal review is complete, you: |
| a | Assemble the bid package and prepare the bid invitation for distribution. |
| b | Send out the bid invitations, along with a user name and password so that the vendors can log into Primavera Unifier and submit their bids. |
Once the bid invitations have been sent, you must wait, then, for the bid due date to pass.
The vendors:
| 1 | When the vendors receive the bid invitation, they log into Primavera Unifier and open the bid request. |
| 2 | They (optionally) can request clarification of any questions or issues before submitting the bid. (They can use the uMail link on the bid request for this purpose.) |
| 3 | They then submit the bid. |
You:
| 1 | When the due date for all bids is reached, you tabulate the bids for comparison. |
| 2 | Optionally, open discussions about the bids, if necessary. |
| 3 | Award the bid to a vendor. |
