Step 1: Compare bids
Step by step
- 1
Compare complete offers
Check price together with product fit, delivery region, timing and verified company information. Risk flags and financial ratings are decision support, not guarantees.
- 2
Confirm the selected supplier
Use the tender’s award action for the intended supplier. Review the selection carefully before confirming; do not assume the best-price badge constitutes an award.
- 3
Open the resulting order
Find the order in Workspace and note the Order ID. It links the contract, delivery, chat and payment-support records.
- 4
Review and sign the contract
Both parties review and sign the agreement. The buyer can then choose the payment arrangement on the order.
Expected outcome
An awarded order ready for both parties’ contract review.
Important checks
- A company risk check is early-warning screening, not official compliance clearance or a credit guarantee.
Questions & answers
Does an award send money?
No. Contract signatures, payment terms and explicit payment instructions are separate steps.
