Envelopes are used to safeguard and consolidate supplier submissions for the evaluation process of a Buyer. An envelope is created by the Buyer's Event Creator/ Editor during the event creation. Questionnaires and Bill of Quantities can be assigned to one or more envelopes.
An Opener can be assigned in the case of a Closed Envelope while open envelopes do not have an assigned opener.
Each envelope will as have an Evaluation Owner who is responsible to add evaluation team members and coordinate the evaluation process. Once the event has been launched, and suppliers have made their submissions, all the submissions will be assigned to the designated envelopes.
