Awarding to multiple vendors
To award the tender to multiple vendors:
First you have to go to the system settings (only do this once during system configuration if you are going to use this feature frequently)
Select Yes on the drop down list of Allow awarding to multiple vendors.
The system is now configured to allow you to award any tender to multiple vendors and create a separate contract for each.
To use this feature in a tender.
Click the Select winning bid button from the To Do widget
During selection of the winning bid, you will see the Award to this vendor and make copy to award to other vendors as well (Split tender) checkbox below the drop down list of the vendors.
Select the first vendor you want to award a contract and check the box before you confirm.
iSpec will now create a copy of the tender (which you will find under the Tenders under evaluation/negotiation list) and allow any remaining shortlisted vendors to be awarded.
