By default you can create RFP's with your standard membership subscription at no extra cost. If you are a larger organization with a Procurement Department or specialists you should apply to be a "Procurement Partner". With a Partner account you can create Procurements and/or RFP's and assign multiple users to your account.

Please call us to request a Procurement Partner account (currently no charge).

Steps for creating a Contract are:

	Contract Summary
	Enter summary information such as an Internal Reference Number, Contract Title, Contract Description, Industry Classification, Publishing and Closing Dates, Budget (optional), Location etc.
	Supporting Documents
	Upload and attach any supporting documents such as detailed requirements, supporting information and specifications if required. Accepted document types include Word™ & Excel™, PDF™, GIF, JPEG, RTF, Text and Zip files.
	Conferences
	Define any conference or meeting dates and locations if required. If there are no conference requirements or you don't know them at this point they can be setup after the contract has been created.
	Forms and Information
	Add, edit or delete documents that are generic to your organization and not to a specific contract, a generic Vendor Registration Form for example. These are available from a central library specific to your account for ease of re-use.
	Publishing Scope
	This screen will only be seen by Members belonging to more than one organization within the ebizmatching™ system. By default contracts will be available to all ebizmatching™ members.
	Contract Review
	This step allows you to review the contract and make any changes. Once reviewed you click the 'Save' button to finalize the process. If the 'Publish Date' is today then it will be visible immediately.
