Apparent bids can be entered either at the letting level or at the proposal level. Bids that are downloaded using the Bid Opener will already be listed. The entry with the low bid is displayed first in the list. When you add an entry, it will not be sorted into the list of apparent bids until you reload the page.
If you need to mark a bid as non-responsive, select the Non-Responsive check box for that bid. Enter an explanation in the Reason field.
You can choose to automatically populate the apparent bid entries with vendor information by using the Bidding Options on the Manage Agency Settings page.
If a company submitted a manual bid, the company information must be uploaded into the Bid Express® service before its bidder ID can be entered on the Apparent Bids page.
