1. In the left-hand menu, click Notify and Share and review the information.

Note: Have you received no compliant bids in response to your solicitation? If the unsuccessful proposals are in BC Bid, and unsealed, you must mark them as ‘Do Not Award’ in the Analyze & Award Tab and then you will be able to send ‘unsuccessful’ notifications to the unsuccessful suppliers using the Notify and Share Tab.

Note: Will your opportunity be cancelled before awarding? If the proposals are in BC Bid, you must mark the bids as ‘Do Not Award’ prior to cancelling the opportunity, then you will be able to send notifications to the affected suppliers from the Notify and Share Tab.

For MUL and SURFQ Sourcing Projects, Buyers should notify all Respondents using the Discussion Forum in the left-hand menu or government email.
