material enquiry and comparison 
This module gives you the tools to Markup resources (mainly materials), compare the prices returned by your suppliers and Award orders to one or more of these suppliers.
Based on a traditional approach to dealing with suppliers and fully integrated with your existing schedules and other data.
Key Features
- All functions are handled from a single, tabbed screen
- Allocate one or more suppliers to each bill (down to item level)
- Invite multiple suppliers to submit their prices
- Issue industry standard Excel tender documents for completion (can also use paper/pdf)
- Import returned Excel documents to quickly compare prices
- All processes can be achieved without the use of paper (although still an option)
The MC module is split into 3 main parts, shown as tabs. These reflect the order in which you would normally approach the task of marking, issuing, comparing and awarding contracts.
Use this form to assign trades to entire Resource Type lists, selected blocks, or individual resources. You can add new Merchant Types to the table during Select if needed.
This is where you assign the Suppliers you want to invite to submit their prices for one or more resources.
Each submitted document is imported, compared and awarded based on your selection criteria.
