Tender creation

You can create three procedures:

• reporting - reporting with no stand-still period
• negotiation - negotiation procedure with 10 day stand-still before contract registration
• negotiation.quick - quick negotiation procedure with 5 day stand-still before contract registration

Creating tender for reporting procedure

To create tender for reporting procedure you should set reporting value for procurementMethodType.

Let’s create a tender:

We have 201 Created response code, Location header and body with extra id, tenderID, and dateModified properties.

Let's check what tender registry contains:

We do see the internal id of a tender (that can be used to construct full URL by prepending http://api-sandbox.openprocurement.org/api/0/tenders/) and its dateModified datestamp.

Creating tender for negotiation procedure

To create tender for negotiation procedure you should set negotiation value for procurementMethodType.

Creating tender for negotiation.quick procedure

To create tender for negotiation.quick procedure you should set negotiation.quick value for procurementMethodType.

Modifying tender

Let's update tender by supplementing it with all other essential properties:

We see the added properies have merged with existing tender data. Additionally, the dateModified property was updated to reflect the last modification datestamp.

Checking the listing again reflects the new modification date:

Document

Uploading documentation

Procuring entity can upload documents and files into the created tender. Uploading should follow the upload rules.

201 Created response code and Location header confirm document creation.

In case we made an error, we can reupload the document over the older version:

Awarding

Adding supplier information

Addition of supplier information is the same for all procedures.

Procuring entity registers supplier information for reporting procedure:

Procuring entity registers supplier information for negotiation procedure:

You can notice that there is complaintPeriod record with startDate value generated.

Procuring entity registers supplier information for negotiation.quick procedure:

Award for negotiation.quick procedure also has complaintPeriod record with startDate value.

Uploading award documentation

You can upload award documents only before awarding decision is confirmed. Let's add award document:

201 Created response code and Location header confirm that document has been added.

Let's see the list of award documents:

We can add another award document:

201 Created response code and Location header confirm second document has been added.

Let's see the list of all uploaded award documents:

Award confirmation

Procuring entity can confirm awarding decision:

Award confirmation for negotiation procedure:

The difference between startDate and endDate in complaintPeriod record for negotiation is 10 days.

Award confirmation for negotiation.quick procedure:

The difference between startDate and endDate in complaintPeriod record for negotiation.quick is 5 days.

Setting contract value

By default contract value is set based on the award, but there is a possibility to set custom contract value.

If you want to lower contract value, you can insert new one into the amount field.

200 OK response was returned. The value was modified successfully.

Setting contract signature date

There is a possibility to set custom contract signature date. You can insert appropriate date into the dateSigned field.

If this date is not set, it will be auto-generated on the date of contract registration.

Setting contract validity period

Setting contract validity period is optional, but if it is needed, you can set appropriate startDate and endDate.

Uploading contract documentation

Contract documents can be uploaded only up until conclusion of the agreement. Let's add contract document:

201 Created response code and Location header confirm that document has been added.

Let's see the list of contract documents:

We can add another contract document:

201 Created response code and Location header confirm second document has been added.

Let's see the list of all uploaded contract documents:

Contract registration

Reporting tender contract can be registered immediately after award confirmation:

Negotiation tender contract can be registered only after the stand-still (10 day period after the award confirmation):

Negotiation.quick tender contract can be registered after the stand-still (5 day period after the award confirmation):

Cancelling tender

Procuring entity can cancel tender anytime. The following steps should be applied:

1. Prepare cancellation request
2. Fill it with the protocol describing the cancellation reasons
3. Cancel the tender with the reasons prepared.

Only the request that has been activated (3rd step above) has power to cancel tender. I.e. you have to not only prepare cancellation request but to activate it as well.

See cancellation data structure for details.

Preparing the cancellation request

You should pass reason, status defaults to pending.

id is autogenerated and passed in the Location header of response.

There are two possible types of cancellation reason - tender was cancelled or unsuccessful. By default reasonType value is cancelled.

You can change reasonType value to unsuccessful.

Filling cancellation with protocol and supplementary documentation

Upload the file contents

Change the document description and other properties

Upload new version of the document
