1. Scope of Work

The Scope of Work is the document statement that contains the description and requirements of the service/work needed. It includes milestones, reports, deliverables, and end products that are anticipated to be fulfilled.

Summary of Scope of Work:

  • Line items: Name of the service

  • Item Description: Service information

  • Frequency: How often you want the service to occur (e.g. weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually)

    Note: you can add another line item to organize the scope of work as shown below. Vendors will have to bid on each line item provided, allowing for optimal responses for services provided

2. Additional Details

The Additional Details are any extra notes and information that vendors may need to know about the task at hand, or information to schedule a site visit.

3. Attachments

This section is for you to upload any files to give vendors a better understanding of the scope of work. These can be pdfs, documents or photos.

*Click Save When You're Done*

Note: any modifications made to the General Information and Scope of Work will be automatically communicated to the selected vendors for the quote request.

Overview Section

Once taken to the overview of the quote request you can view all of your vendors statuses and ratings.

You can also compare bids at the Bid Breakdown section amongst all the vendors from the respected quote request or you can also download a summary.

Inviting More Vendors to Your RFQ

You can always remove the vendor in your cart by clicking Remove under the vendor name.

  2. Click Request Quote next to any vendors you'd like to invite

  3. Vendors appear in your cart (you can remove them before confirming)
