How to receive a paper or emailed submission (a Manual Tender)

In 360, a "Manual Tender" refers to responses to a request being received manually - e.g. a paper-based tender dropped in a physical tender box or documents emailed to the procurement team.

If a provider has not submitted their response via 360 provider's portal but you would still like them evaluated alongside other providers, the request manager can be add them manually.

      4. Click Add Selected Provider(s)
        At this point, you have successfully added the provider(s) to this closed request.
