Respond to the Query by Bidders

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Once a ‘Tender Query’ is raised by the bidder, the contact person for the selected tender can respond to that query by completing the ‘Respond’ task assigned to them.

1. From the ‘Tender Query’ forms listing area, click on the ‘Respond’ task to complete that task.

Alternately, while viewing a ‘Tender Query’ form, go to the ‘Task’ menu and click ‘Reply’ or ‘Reply All’ to respond to a form.
