In some instances, a bid package may require additional work items that were not initially included by the Bid Manager (GC) while creating the bid. This could be due to missing items or special requirements that subcontractors or vendors need to address. Bid Response Managers have the flexibility to add these extra work items to a bid before they submit their response. Here's how to add new items to a bid response:

Note: Users can add work items to a bid response only after they have acknowledged the bid, and the bid response is in the 'Draft' state.

Acknowledging the Bid: Users can start by acknowledging their intent to bid on a specific bid package. The bid response will then come into 'Draft' state.

  • The ‘+’ enables and clicking on the '+' button adds a new work item. This action enables to insert a new work item into the grid

  • The 'Grand Total' displayed at the bottom of the 'Work Items' section will update dynamically to reflect the total bid value.
