When creating an invitation to tender, the Tender Team members can specify whether the tender will be Public or Private.
Public tenders are available in the Asite Marketplace, where potential bidders can express their interest in the tender by raising an Expression of Interest form.
Below are the steps to create an Expression of Interest form:
1. Once logged in to Asite, go to the Project Forms tab and select the project to create a form.
2. Expand the Expression of Interest form group and select Expression of Interest form type.
3. Click on ‘+’ button at top right.
4. It will open the Create Form screen as shown below:
5. Given below is a description of all the fields available in the Create Form view:
5.1. EOI for Tender
Choose the form ID linked to the Invitation to Tender for which you create the expression of interest.
5.2. User Name
Shows the user's name expressing interest in the selected tender (according to the chosen Expression of Interest for Tender).
5.3. Expression of Interest Reason
Enter a description to express interest in the chosen tender.
5.4. Attachment
If applicable, attach an external file from your local device storage.
5.5. Associate Docs
If applicable, you can associate this form with an existing project file, whether from the same project or a different one.
5.6. Associate Apps
If applicable, you can associate this form with another existing project form, whether from the same project or a different one.
6. Click ‘Send’ to submit the form.
If you plan to edit and submit later, use the 'Save Draft' button to save the
details as a draft. In such a scenario, you can get the draft message
reviewed by some other user by assigning them the 'Review Draft' task.
Click 'Cancel' to cancel the form. Clicking on 'Cancel' will prompt the user to confirm again, as any unsaved data in the form will be lost forever.
7. Once submitted successfully, you will be redirected to the Asite Marketplace public open bids listing with the relevant public bid highlighted for which you had submitted the form expressing interest.
8. Click the 'Express Interest' button on Marketplace to complete the process.
