eSupplier_Review_Update_Bid.pdf

This file is an instructional guide document from the City of Minneapolis detailing the procedures for reviewing and updating submitted bids through the eSupplier procurement portal. The document provides step-by-step instructions for suppliers who have already submitted bids on City of Minneapolis solicitations and wish to review or modify their submissions. Suppliers can access the eSupplier platform by signing into their account and navigating to the "My Event Activity" section, where they can locate their bids either by selecting the number of events bid on or by using the search criteria function. Once a bid is located by Event ID, suppliers have the option to view, edit, or copy from saved bids, with the ability to cancel submissions if necessary. Critical to the process is the requirement to select the "Submit Bid" button after making any changes; selecting "Save for Later" will change the bid status from "Submitted" to "Saved," which will invalidate the bid and prevent it from being considered in the procurement evaluation.

The document emphasizes that all bid modifications must be finalized through the formal submission process, after which suppliers will receive a bid confirmation screen and confirmation email. Support for eSupplier users is available through the City of Minneapolis eProcurement office at eProcurement@minneapolismn.gov. This guide was last updated on May 6, 2024, and serves as reference material for suppliers participating in City of Minneapolis procurement opportunities, including the referenced Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) implementation project.
