How do I review and award a bid?
Open the posting from Opportunities → Posted Opportunities. Each response shows whether the firm accepts your terms as posted or offers its own (price, visit time, expenses, expiry), any RFP response file, and the firm's rating. An expired offer can't be awarded. A Company Manager awards the bid they choose; the job is created for the contractor straight away and the other bidders are told they weren't selected.
If you set a closing date, no bids come in after it; you can still award a bid made before it. The posting's creator or a Company Manager can extend the closing date or cancel the posting, giving a reason the bidders see. A bid outside the budget you gave is marked "Outside budget".
Once awarded, confirm the visit's date and time on the job's Schedule tab: the technician and their firm are told straight away, and everyone is reminded the day before.
Awarding forms an agreement with that firm at the agreed price and scope, recorded by PeerToSite and shown on the job for both of you. After that a job is canceled only once PeerToSite staff confirm it: ask from the job page with your reason.
