Build the event around the decision

Keep supplier participation in the workflow

Suppliers can submit bids, respond to clarifications, and participate in configured rounds or reverse auctions. The event workspace keeps participation, deadlines, documents, and communications connected.

Compare evidence, not just prices

Technical and commercial evaluations can be reviewed together. Bid comparison, evaluation input, supplier type, and supporting evidence remain available to authorized reviewers.

Preserve award rationale and approval

Award scenarios can show the recommended allocation, supporting evidence, evaluation status, and the approvals required before execution. Authorized users remain accountable for the decision.

A role-specific view without a separate record

Daniel Reeves — VP, Strategic Sourcing sees event progress, supplier participation, evaluation evidence, and award rationale. Michael Grant — Finance Controller sees the financial and approval context tied to the same sourcing record.
