Background documentationSourcing and Tendering

 

Sourcing and tendering integrates functions used in the public sector for competitive procurement into the standard SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) procurement scenario.

Features

Sourcing and tendering provides the following functions:

  • Synopsis

    Organizations can create synopses for business opportunities. For more information, see Synopsis.

  • Prequalification questionnaires

    Purchasing organizations use prequalification questionnaires to evaluate which suppliers are best suited to submit RFx responses for an RFx. For more information, see Prequalification of Suppliers.

  • Tender fees

    Tender fees are paid by prospective suppliers to access RFx documents and submit an RFx response. For more information, see Tender Fee Processing.

  • Earnest money deposits

    Earnest money deposits are paid by prospective suppliers as a guarantee of fulfillment of contract. For more information, see Earnest Money Deposit Processing.

  • Two-envelope RFx responses

    Two-envelope RFx responses allow suppliers to submit technical bid information separately from price information. For more information, see Two-Envelope RFx Response Processing.

  • Multi-party verification at RFx response opening

    Multi-party verification uses the simultaneous logon process to allow multiple users to approve RFx response opening by logging on to the system. For more information, see Simultaneous Logon at RFx Response Opening.
