Procedure Description¶

The procedure receives active.qualification status.
The award with the highest qualifying bid initially receives pending status. The process enters the verificationPeriod with the auto-generated duration of 0-6 business days. During this term the organizer uploads the protocol (documentType: auctionProtocol) first and manually switches award to active status then. Simultaneously the procedure enters the signingPeriod phase and the procedure receives active.awarded status.

2.1 If the organizer decides to disqualify the bidder, a document (documentType: rejectionProtocol or act) has to be uploaded first and the award has to be manually switched to unsuccessful then.

3. When the qualification procedure enters the signingPeriod stage, which lasts up to 20 days from the beginning of the bidder qualification process. The contract of the qualifying bid initially receives a pending status. Within this time, the organizer should upload the document (documentType: contractSigned) in the system and manually switch contract to active status in order to successfully finish the qualification procedure.

3.1 For the bidder to be disqualified a document (documentType: rejectionProtocol or act) has to be uploaded first and the contract has to be manually switched to cancelled by the organizer then. As long as such an action is done, award status will receive unsuccessful.

The second highest qualifying bidder, immediately after the auction ending receives the pending.waiting status, in which by default they agree to wait for the end of the qualification of the highest qualifying bidder to be eligible to go through the qualification process if the highest bidder is disqualified. The only action that they can make is to manually cancel the award decision (switch award to cancelled status) - withdraw the security deposit and lose the chance to become a winner of the auction. If that is done and the first highest qualifying bidder becomes unsuccessful, the procedure receives the unsuccessful status. Provided that first award gets disqualified while the second has not disqualified themselves, the second award automatically changes its status from pending.waiting to pending, after which they undergo the same qualification procedure as outlined above for the first award.

Notes¶

The auto-generated period duration does not influence the actions which can be done.
The organizer can disqualify the award at any stage of the awarding process up to the moment, when a document with the documentType: contractSigned has been uploaded.
The second highest qualifying bidder can disqualify themselves at any point in time BEFORE the start of their qualification process.
