You can read below to find out more information on Linking a Bid Request to a Contract or watch this short video:
Bid requests can be linked to a contract, which is convenient when you have awarded a bid to a supplier and want to connect the origin of the contract to the bidding event. By connecting a bid with a contract you can reference the original bid to assure consistency and as much detail as possible. When creating a contract the user will have two options for linking to a Bid Request.
Go to the Contracts module > click Create Contract.
Link Unimarket Bid Request to Contract
To link a bid request to a contract after completing the Counterpart and Leadsheet tab, select Bid tab > Click dropdown in Bid request field and select Link to Unimarket Bid Request > click the desired bid request in the Bid Request field.
This option allows the user to search through existing Bid Requests in the Unimarket system based on the supplier that is entered on the Leadsheet and automatically link the details of that Bid Request.
Manually Enter Bid Request Details
If the Bid Request was not entered into Unimarket, click the dropdown in the Bid Request field > select Enter Bid Request Details > key in necessary information regarding the Bid Request.
