Publish Bid Invitations.

[Former Member]

Hi Guys, need help in the following:

1) What does public bid Inviation mean? My understanding is that we will not have to assign any bidders to the bid invitation and it get published on a portal.

2) How do I publish the bid on a portal - I want to publish the bid invitation on Internet where the suppliers can see the opportunity for businees?

3) How does it work - Do we have to generate a PDF using smart form and then put it on the net some how?

4) How will the vendors respond to the Open Bid Invitation as they are not created in the system and do not have login details?

Kind Regards,

Hi,

Yes you are right.Public Bid Invitation means that any body can bid to the event.If Bidders are involved then it becomes Restricted Bid Invitation.

In Public Bid Invitation,you need to give link to which the intending bidder need to get registered by answering a questionnaire published by your enterprise.Once his registration is approved by the enterprise, he will be issued a userid & Pwd and he will be in a position to submit Bid response.

This requires the setting up of the Supplier Registration scenario.

Thanks & Regards,
