eSupplier_Review-Update-Bid.pdf

This file is an instructional guide document provided by the City of Minneapolis eProcurement Department for suppliers participating in the eSupplier system. The document outlines the procedural steps for reviewing and updating bids that have been previously submitted through the eSupplier platform. The instructions detail the navigation process beginning with signing into the eSupplier home page, accessing the Supplier Secure Home Page, and locating submitted bids through the My Event Activity tile. Suppliers can search for specific bids using the Events Bid On filter and subsequently access submitted proposals through the Event ID. The document specifies that users may view, edit, or copy from saved bids, and provides detailed guidance on the submission process to ensure bid validity.

The guide emphasizes critical procedural requirements for bid submission and modification, particularly noting that users must select the Submit Bid button after making changes rather than the Save for Later button, as selecting Save for Later will change the bid status from "Submitted" to "Saved" and render the bid invalid for consideration. The document also includes a cancellation option for bids and confirms that a Bid Confirmation screen and confirmation email will be generated upon successful submission. For technical support or questions regarding the eSupplier system, suppliers are directed to contact the Minneapolis eProcurement Department at eProcurement@minneapolismn.gov. The guide was last updated on May 6, 2024.
