Sidebar
The left navigation is the map of the buyer workspace. On a wide page it stays docked. Below 1200 pixels, and inside Teams, it closes into a menu so the page can use the full width.
- Dashboard. Open events, deadlines, and the work that needs attention.
- Requisitions. Internal requests before they become an RFx.
- Events. The register of RFI, RFQ, RFP, ITT, and tender events.
- Suppliers. Companies you can invite, including prequalification.
- Evaluations and Awards. Score sheets, consensus, and the award decision.
- Approvals. Requisition, event, and award approvals waiting on you.
- Auctions. Live English, Dutch, and Japanese auctions.
- Clarifications, Templates, and Questions. Supplier questions, reusable events, and the question library.
- Compliance, Calendar, and Documents. Checks, dates, and the event file set.
- Reports, Analytics, and Audit. Award packs, sourcing measures, and the activity ledger.
- Search and Public tenders. Find records you can already open, and see events marked public.
- Settings. Administrators only.
Event workspace
Open an event to work the tabs for overview, suppliers, bids, questions, addenda, messages, evaluation, and activity. Tabs wrap onto a second row on a narrow window instead of clipping the labels.
Appearance and language
Appearance supports light, dark, and match-system. A company logo can be stored with the appearance settings. Keep the image under 120 KB.
The workspace is available in English, Spanish, French, and German. The product name Bid Management Hub stays in English in every language. If a translation is missing, the app shows the English sentence.
What each role sees
Admin sees every page, including Settings. A Sourcing Manager runs events, suppliers, auctions, and unsealing. An Approver works the approval queues and can see the event. An Evaluator scores assigned bids and does not manage settings or auctions. A Supplier has no pages inside the SharePoint web part and uses the portal instead.
