Starting a Contract from a Proposal in a Bid Package
How to convert an accepted proposal in a Bid Package into a project contract.
Overview
Once a proposal is selected within a Bid Package, it can be posted to the Project Budget and then converted into a project contract without manually re-entering the details.
Prerequisites
-
A Bid Package must exist in the project with at least one submitted proposal.
-
You must have permission to manage contracts on the project.
Process
-
Open the Bid Packages module and open the Bid Package containing the proposal you want to convert.
-
Click the three-dot menu beside the proposal, then select Post to ACR. The proposal's status changes to Pending Contract.
-
Click Proceed to Contract. A confirmation dialog opens asking whether to notify the bidder — choose the option that fits, then confirm.
-
The contract is created in the Project Contracts module. From here, you can:
-
Edit the contract to add remaining details (dates, cost codes, insurance, etc.).
-
Delete the contract if it was created in error.
-
Upload Draft Contract Document to attach the draft agreement.
-
-
Complete the contract details and proceed with execution. For execution steps, see Executing a Project Contract.
