Bid Tabulation works in conjunction with Bid Scope. After the bid scope has been defined you can tabulate the results of all submitted bids from the Bid Tabulation tab. Also when the Bid Tab is opened, documents submitted by each bidder to support their bid are moved to the folder designated to receive those documents when the bid details were completed. These documents are not available for viewing until the bid tab is opened.
Note that when large documents are submitted to support a bid it may take a few minutes for the documents to appear in the designated folder.
Once the Bid Tab has been opened no other bids can be submitted by invited bidders. Please be sure that all anticipated bids have been received when the bid tab is opened.
