5 Creating a Bid Note: Bidders gain no advantage by waiting for the last moment to enter a bid. Reverse Auction software will automatically extend the Event based on the AutoExtend Controls of the event. To ensure a bid is successfully submitted, it is recommended to submit a bid prior to the final 30 seconds of the auction. 1. After selecting the auction Number link, the Auction Details page appears. a. Select Create Bid from the Action dropdown menu to bid in the auction (#1 below). b. Select Go (#2). 10

Bid submittals above the current proposed price shall be considered invalid unless directed by the Buyer. The Buyer reserves the right to disqualify bids if rules are violated or terminate the event at any time. Note: Entering a proxy minimum price (if applicable) will cause the system to automatically decrease a supplier's bid by the minimum decrement amount when a new bid causes a supplier to not be ranked #1 until the "proxy minimum price" is reached. It is highly recommended to not utilize this feature. 3. Review the bid and confirm that the pricing is accurate. a. If the bid is not accurate, select Back (#1) and correct any errors.
