Tenders/Bids

Aconex Tenders, known as Bids in the USA, and BidContender are two separate products that Aconex, the company, supplies. Aconex Tenders/Bids is, along with Documents, Models and Cost etc, a module in the main Aconex application. BidContender on the other hand is a stand-alone application that is part of the Aconex group. For BidContender user guides click here.

The Tenders module is not available on all projects. Contact your Org Admin if you need access. Or, if you are using Aconex for a project based in America, you'll see Bids instead of Tenders.

Ask your Org Admin to modify your user role. They'll need to follow the instructions here – Creating a Tenders user role.

If you need to create and manage Tenders invitations, you’ll need to be given Tender Administration permissions.

Your Org Admin can do this. They will follow the instructions here: Manage Tenders, Workflows and Supplier Documents.

When you add an addendum to your tender the version number will increase.

For example, you gave your original tender invitation a version number of 1.

When you add an addendum to the tender, the version number will increase to 2.

For step-by-step instructions about creating a tender addendum follow these steps - Update an open tender invitation.
