When purchasing standard items from a preferred group of vendors the system provides a function where you may allow the vendor to enter and maintain his own specification document for a tender.
The vendor has access to one or more templates and his document(s) in the template. The vendor may edit his information in his documents and when the specification is acceptable to you, you may approve it for use in the template.
When a tender is published and the vendor is invited to tender, he will see his supplied specification documents instead of the standard specification.
Because it is an already pre- approved specification the only items to respond to and negotiate on would be the amount of items ordered, price and delivery dates where applicable.
