Projects at 'tender' stage

Introduction

Users can use the Local Supply Chain platform to help them with the project tendering process, from sourcing suppliers in new areas to issuing enquiries, checking PQQ & insurances to notifying suppliers of awards or declines. 

You can use the tool to review all projects that are currently being tendered across your business, helping to keep project information in one place and available to users on demand.

A project at tender stage will either be 'Won' when the status should be updated to 'Contract', or 'Lost' and recorded as such on the platform. 

Who can access this area?

All users can see all projects on the portal (only certain roles can edit – those listed as editors/admins)

Select projects – Tender then select the ‘everyone’ tab to see all projects at tender stage

You can select ‘all projects’ to see projects at every stage
