Objective

Background

If your organization is running a sealed tender process, submitted tender are locked until the due date and time for the tender has passed.

  • Required User Permissions:
    • 'Limited' access to the project or higher.
      Note: Users with 'Limited' access can only unlock bids if they are the Bid Room Manager. 
  • Additional Information:
    • The due date and time for the bid must have passed in order for the 'Unlock' button to be active in the Bid Room.

    Note: After unlocking the bids:
    • All members of the Tender Room Team with 'Full Access' will receive an email notification and all tender submissions will become visible.
    • Any tenderers who have not yet submitted a tender will be blocked from doing so. If you want to grant those tenderers extra time to submit, you can leave the tender room in its "locked" state.
    • In the case of clarifications or additional rounds of tendering, tenderers can continue to submit revisions as long as they submitted their initial tender before tender were unlocked.
