You’ve signed up to Workday Strategic Sourcing.
The sourcing manager determines the event timeline that consists of these possible deadlines:
  • Supplier RSVP Deadline
  • Supplier Question Deadline
  • Bid Submission Deadline
  1. To ensure you submit information to the sourcing manager on time, set your time zone in your
    User Profile
     that you can access under your user name on the
    Home Page
    .
  2. When you receive a
    Supplier RSVP Deadline
    , you can inform the sourcing manager that you plan to bid by selecting
    I Intend to Submit
     on the invitation before the set time and date. As you decide if you want to participate in a bid event, consider:
    Option
    Action
    You don't receive and invitation.
    Either:
    • You or 1 of your team have already responded to the invitation.
    • There's no requirement for you to respond.
    You're not going to accept the invitation.
    Select
    I Do Not Intend to Submit
     and you can either:
    • Select a reason why you don't want to participate, as well as provide additional comments.
    • Select
      Submit RSVP
      .
    You decide you intend to participate in a bid event.
    You can select
    I Intend to Bid
     as long as the invitation hasn't expired.
    The deadline passed but you want to bid in the event.
    You can submit a ticket to support by clicking
    Support
    , and they can help you change your response to the invitation.
    You no longer intend to participate in a bid event.
    No action is needed.
    If the deadline has passed, you can submit a ticket to support by clicking
    Support
    , and they can help you change your response to the invitation.
  3. If you receive a
    Supplier Question Deadline
     event, you can't submit questions to the sourcing manager from the
    Message Center
     after the deadline date and time.
    You can continue to view the questions and answers that you or your team submitted before the deadline.
    If you don't see the deadline, you can submit questions to the sourcing team at any time during the RFx process.
  4. To submit a bid on the RFP to the sourcing manager, check the due date and time on the
    Submission Deadline
    , and click the
    Submit Bid
     button.
    The sourcing manager can set the submission deadline so that you can submit your response after the deadline.
You can start submitting your bid and invite team members to collaborate with you on the bid proposal.
