TOOL FOR MANAGING BIDS

摘要

A method, computer program product and system for managing bids. A bid request (421-422) may be transmitted to a recipient (402A-B) that may itself become a bid requester thereby being able to submit one or more bid requests (423-428) to other entities (403A-D). A bid request may generically refer to a request to bid on line item(s). A recipient of one or more bid requests may further be allowed to aggregate one or more line items and the accompanying documentation, e.g., agreements, drawings, if any, in the one or more received requests, into one or more new requests to be submitted to other entities. Furthermore, a recipient of one or more responses to one or more bid requests may import data related to one or more line items in one or more received responses into one or more new responses to be submitted to other entities.
