Four short videos follow a single bid from a blank page to an awarded contract — the buyer creating and publishing it, a supplier responding, and the buyer scoring and awarding. Five more, further down, each cover one thing on their own. Nothing is sped up and nothing is mocked: every screen is the shipping product.
The organisation, suppliers and pricing are a demonstration data set, not a real customer.
Buyer · Create & publish
A buyer opens an empty RFP, gives it structure, invites three suppliers, clears the pre-publish checklist and publishes.
The checklist is a gate, not a suggestion — the Publish button stays shut until the bid has a closing date, a section and an invitation.
Buyer · Notices & addenda
A supplier asks a question that moves the timetable. The answer is released to every bidder at the same moment, and the change it promises is recorded as a versioned addendum.
The addendum keeps the old closing date beside the new one. Nothing is overwritten quietly, and every bidder is told at once.
Supplier · Respond & submit
The other side of the same bid: the published document arrives section by section, gets filled in place, and is submitted.
Suppliers never pay, never install anything, and never retype a bid into a spreadsheet.
Buyer · Evaluate & award
The last response is scored against weighted criteria, the ranking resolves, and the award is published with a reason attached.
The cheapest bid comes second here. That is the point of weighted evaluation, and the scoring that produced it is on the record.
These do not continue the bid above. Each one is a single thing the product does, filmed the same way. Open whichever is relevant to you.
Buyer · Consensus scoring
Three colleagues score the same bid independently. The averages come out tied for second place, and a consensus session is where the panel settles it.
Averaging hid a dead heat. Resolving the one criterion the panel actually split on breaks it — and the software records who changed the score, from what to what, and why.
Supplier · Confidentiality
A supplier opens an invitation and gets a confidentiality agreement instead of the documents. Accepting it is what releases them.
The gate is the server's, not the page's. Until it is accepted, the scope, the drawings and the pricing schedule are never sent at all.
Buyer · Templates
A bid that has already been run once is saved as a template — sections, priced schedule, invitation list and evaluation criteria — and next season's is raised from it.
You type the title and the deadline. Everything else arrives already built, down to the quantities and the bidders.
Buyer · Rectification
Two of three submissions priced the same line the wrong way. A correction window reopens those two responses without reopening the bid.
Cancelling and re-tendering costs weeks and punishes the supplier who got it right. This names who may correct what, until when, and keeps the round on file.
Supplier · Discover & alerts
Beside the bids they were invited to, suppliers get a feed of United States and Canadian government solicitations, and can turn a search into an email alert.
