bids&tenders version 3.12.13 is ready for release and will occur on Tuesday March 19, 2019 starting at 8PM EST.   We will send an email after the update is complete on March 19th.  The support portal  will be updated to reflect all updates to the system!   The list of features are below:  Submit a Question Feature - Attach Documents Vendors can now attach documents with their questions through the Submit a Question Feature. There is a maximum of 10 MB per file, per question. Note: This feature is only available if you limit your questions to Plan Takers. If you allow anyone to submit questions, then this feature cannot be enabled Bids Module - Addenda Tab (eBidding Only) If your system is configured to withdraw bids when you upload addendums, then the system will now send an automated email to the bidders immediately after you upload the addenda advising them that their bid has been withdrawn. You are still required to send a notification about the addenda being posted. This functionality is similar to how the system automatically notifies bidders when the eBids tab is altered. Bids Module - Ebids Tab The ability to export tables out of the bidding system. A new button will be available for you to download the table into a CSV format: Bids Module - Bid Details Tab The Bid Summary Checklist has been renamed to "Bid Summary Report".
