Best and Final Offers

At the time of Shortlisting Bidders you can also request a Best and Final Offer from Bidders by ticking the Request Best and Final offer option.

Choosing the ‘Best And Final Offer’ will delete all existing financials in the Tender Evaluation Report, however they will be preserved in the View Bid Screen and these Bids can still be ‘Recommended’ at the original rate.

Best And Final Offers will not be accepted after the Closed date if the Tender Project Settings are configured to enforce that date.
