FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Quick answers on vendor access, bid evaluation and purchase order issuance.
Which vendors can take part in a tender?
Only approved, compliant vendors. Vendors register through secure OTP-based access and pass through certification and pre-qualification workflows before joining the approved vendor database. RFQs are then published to certified vendors, so only qualified suppliers receive tender invitations.
How are technical and commercial bids evaluated?
Technical and commercial bids are evaluated separately using consistent scoring, ranking and recommendation criteria. Wrench SmartProject scores and ranks each vendor, sends qualification or disqualification notifications, and moves the result through a recommendation workflow.
Can a tender include live reverse bidding?
Yes. The platform supports competitive bidding and live reverse auctions, with a bid room and live bid tracking once RFQs are published. Combined with structured bid comparisons, this helps achieve more competitive pricing.
How are procurement milestones linked to the project schedule?
Schedule-linked procurement milestones are set up when the tender is structured, and procurement deliverables are linked to the project schedule. Progress is captured based on tender status, giving early visibility of potential delays and showing tender progress within project dashboards.
Can a purchase order be issued directly from an evaluated tender?
Yes. Wrench SmartProject issues the purchase order directly from the evaluated tender, so approved tenders move straight into execution. Procurement progress is then tracked against milestones and reflected in project dashboards.
What record is kept of tender submissions and decisions?
A complete audit trail. Every invitation, submission, clarification, evaluation, approval and decision is recorded, and vendors receive a submission acknowledgement. Centralized digital submissions replace scattered emails, uncontrolled spreadsheets and missing attachments.
