Bid requests can be linked to a contract, which is convenient when the Community:
- Has awarded a bid to a supplier and
- Desire to connect the origin of the contract, to the bidding event.
By connecting a bid with a contract, the Community can reference the original bid. To ensure consistency and view as many details, as possible.
When creating a contract, the user will have two options for linking to a Bid Request:
- Link to Unimarket Bid Request or
- Enter Bid Request Details - Manually
