Sprint 122 (December 7th 2022)
TM - Digital Signing in multi-lots
Why
Multi-lots are commonly used by the public buyers, which also requires from suppliers to digitally sign their proposals.
What
If the digital signing is enabled in a multi-lot tender, the suppliers should have a possibility to digitally sign their proposal using the desired signing method
How
Suppliers will get an extra step before submitting their multi-lot proposal - generate the receipt which should be signed.
The receipt will have all the information from the selected lots. All selected lots will get the same receipt.
Once the receipt is signed - the offer is locked for editing. The supplier may submit the proposal or do it later, while the proposal remains signed.
Signed lots are locked for editing. Can be modified during the submission period though. If modified is used, a new sign process should take place first.
In case of divergent lots, each lot can be signed and submitted separately. There is no bulk action here.
Each divergent lot has its own receipt.
TM - Award motivation and consensus
Why
Automate the process of creating award letters for suppliers as much as possible. Motivating why the supplier is or isn’t awarded and what the results are of the award criteria is an important factor. With this new feature we will support in creating the motivation and apply consensus if this is desired by the buyer.
What
An overview of all evaluation performed and their comments per award criteria and the possibility to overrule the average score of the evaluators with a consensus score. Beside that the buyer can add an external comment per criteria that will be included in the award letter when they use the award motivation placeholder.
How
Enable in BPM/tender
BPM → Workflow → Round → Round settings → Offer card:
Turn on the award motivation and consensus feature in the BPM.
All tenders will have this round setting but the feature is turned off and locked, with this release we will unlock it for all tender so buyer can turn the feature on in existing tenders.
