Click the Awarding button on the Quote Summaries tab of the P.30.22 Commercial Evaluation screen to open the P.30.25 Awarding screen.

On this screen, you can perform awarding, that is, assign positions to a bidder. Only users with the ALLOW AWARDING privilege can perform awarding.

The quote details appear with their line item costs. All costs are shown in the currency of the inquiry. The quote details with the lowest costs are highlighted with a green background color so that they can easily be found.

If the project default ZP_VIRTBID is set to Y and at least one bidder has submitted a bid, a virtual bidder appears as the last bidder representing the best bid. Color visualizations are not applied to this virtual bidder, and positions cannot be assigned to this virtual bidder.

To assign a single position to a bidder, you must double-click in any of the matrix fields 1 to 7. In the picture above, the Quoted Quantity, Full Price, Other Costs, and Basic Costs fields are the first four of the matrix fields.

To cancel a selection, you can assign this position to another bidder; this action automatically withdraws the position from the currently assigned bidder. Or, you can use the shortcut menu provided for these fields and select Reset selection.

If you want to assign all positions to a single bidder, you can double-click on any of the matrix header fields. To clear all positions for a bidder, you can select Reset selection from the shortcut menu on these fields.

Positions can only be assigned to a bidder if they fulfill the prerequisites listed below:

  • The bidder has returned a bid.

  • The quote has not been rejected.

  • The approval process of the quote has not been started.

  • The quote is not approved.

  • The commercial evaluation has been performed (CE Missing not enabled).

  • The technical evaluation has been passed if it is required (TE Missing not enabled).

  • The position has not been assigned to another bidder whose bid is already approved or for whose bid the approval process has been started.

If any of these prerequisites is not fulfilled, the message below appears when you try to assign the position.

To assign alternates to a bidder, you must double-click in the Alt check box and select the alternate in the window that appears.

Instead of picking the items position by position, you can click the Best Bid button at the bottom of the screen to automatically select the items with the lowest costs. The following message appears:

Click Yes to continue.

If any alternates exist for a bidder, these alternates are not included by the assignment.

When the software calculates the costs or applies best splits (cherry picking), alternates and detail tags (if existing) are taken into account.

The main part of the spread table is composed as a matrix. This matrix consists of a header, a body, and a footer.
