Instructions on How to Select a Winner
Vendor selection is a two-step process. At any time, you may log in to the system to view the bids that have been placed for your project. Once the due date for proposals has arrived, the project is set to Closed status. After the project has closed and you have had ample time to review bids, you may log in to the system to select a winning bidder. The winner will receive an email notification from the system. At this point you will follow up with the winner via the contact information provided with the bid.
