Understanding the responsiveness across bids-in-progress provides to allocate resources and plan for accurate cash-flow.

Tender negotiations in ERP helps to re-evaluate the existing qualified bids to enhance the overall quality. It helps assess and rise up to the standards of other competitive bids and more qualified subcontractors. It enables to validate on the quality aspect and modify bids to match the best qualified bid.

You can validate on the rates provided by the awarded bid and the associated quality and profitability ratios to enhance and become a strong bidder for future projects.

Thank you for the invitation, however I'm not an expert in this domain.
An erp remains a software no matter how complicate it is. Under this term, put peanuts in - get s@#t out. Furthermore, no software can be a decision maker software. Decisions are made by humans because there are a lot more to consider than the price the incoterms the delivery times etc. when it comes to awarding a supplier.
Don't fool yourself that a software can do your work instead of you. The responsibility is always on purchasing professional's back, that' why you need always to be responsible, ethical and careful.
