About this file

This document is Exhibit A, a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) guide for the Bonfire vendor registration and bid submission platform for Halifax Health. The document provides detailed instructions for vendors on how to create a vendor profile, register for bid opportunities, and submit solicitation responses through the Bonfire online portal. Key guidance includes the process of creating an individual account, limitations on multiple team members accessing the same submission simultaneously, and best practices for managing vendor registrations within a firm.

The FAQ addresses common vendor questions about account management, including how to handle multiple registrations from the same company, troubleshooting registration issues, and obtaining support. Vendors are advised that individual Bonfire accounts are not automatically linked, and firms should designate specific team members to manage bid submissions to prevent duplication. For technical support or additional information, vendors can contact Bonfire Support via email at support@gobonfire.com or access the Vendor Help Desk at https://vendorsupport.gobonfire.com/hc/en-us. The document also clarifies that if a vendor does not wish to bid on a released opportunity, no further action is required, and the bid will be considered a 'no bid' if no submittal is received by the due date and time.

Exhibit A

Bonfire Frequently Asked Questions

How do I create a Vendor Profile on Bonfire?

You can click on the “Log In/Register” icon in the upper right corner of the Bonfire screen https://halifaxhealth.bonfirehub.com/portal/?tab=openOpportunities and follow the prompts. You may also watch this quick video on creating an account https://vendorsupport.gobonfire.com/hc/en-us/articles/7322917689367-Creating-a-Bonfire- Account-VIDEO.

If a firm has multiple people in the firm registered in Bonfire, can they all work on the same submittal?

Multiple accounts cannot work on the same vendor submission at the same time. For example: If John at firm A starts the submission, John will need to be the one who finalizes/submits the submission. A Best Practice is to have the team work on the submittal documents outside of Bonfire and select one person to go into Bonfire, submit the Intent to Bid, and proceed with uploading documents and completing the submittal.

Will individual registrations from the same firm be linked to that firm? Will all submittals by the firm be seen in all of the individuals' accounts?

No. Bonfire treats each individual account as an individual and does not link them. A best practice will be to determine internally which individual is responsible for each solicitation to prevent the duplication of submittals.

I am having difficulty registering as a vendor on Bonfire or have not received an email account confirmation from Bonfire. Who do I contact?

First, look through your trash, junk, etc. email accounts (sometimes a vendor's network will treat outside emails as junk). Second, reach out for assistance from Bonfire Support by clicking on the “Log In/Register” icon in the upper right corner of the Bonfire screen https://halifaxhealth.bonfirehub.com/portal/?tab=openOpportunities. You may also submit a question to Bonfire by clicking on the "Help" button at the lower left corner of the screen.

Miscellaneous Information:

If you have been notified of a bid release, and do not wish to bid, there is nothing further you need to do. If the Bid Due Date/Time has passed and no bid submittal is received this would be deemed a 'no bid'.

Instructions for adding additional new lines are in the instructions paragraph at the top of the sheet.

If I have other questions, who can I email?

You can email questions to support@gobonfire.com more clarity. Or please visit Bonfire’s Vendor Help Desk at https://vendorsupport.gobonfire.com/hc/en-us for additional information.
