Submit a Tender
After you accept an invitation to tender, you can submit your tender.
After you enter your submission information, you can save your tender before submitting it. This is helpful if you want to save your progress on a submission without sending it back to the general contractor just yet.
To submit a tender:
- On the My opportunities page, select a tender package.
Make sure the filters include opportunities with a Status of Accepted.
- On the Quote tab, in the Quote amount field, enter the amount for your tender.
- In the Description field, summarize your organization's main tasks and responsibilities for the job.
- In the Files area, add any files that were requested by the general contractor or that you otherwise want to send along with your tender, such as specially formatted proposals or material specifications. You can drag-and-drop files or add them manually.
- If you want to save your tender before submitting it, select Save.
After that, you can navigate away from the the Opportunity page without losing the information you've already provided.
- Review all information provided in the tender package, including any addenda in the Addenda tab. Check the checkbox beneath the Description field to confirm that you reviewed any addenda associated with the opportunity. When general contractors review quotes, they will see a red indicator beside the tenderer name to alert them if all addenda have not been reviewed.
- When you're ready to send your tender to the general contractor for consideration, select Submit.
Note: You will receive an error message if you attempt to upload a file that—
- Is an unsupported file type
- Exceeds 500MB in size
- Has a filename that contains the following special characters: ?*<>_|:\/"%
- Has a filename that exceeds 255 characters
Tip
- You can revise your bid if you need to make changes after you submit it. If you do make changes, a revision number will be added to your bid. See Revise a Proposal.
- To view a full list of files, select Maximize to maximize to a full page view. You can also resize file data columns by using your pointer to select the divider between column headers, then dragging it to the preferred location.
