Prepare and submit a bid

Work on the draft and verify its official submission.

Before you start

An open tender, permissions, the Masnet Chrome extension and a valid Mercado Público session.

How to do it

  1. Prepare the bid

    In Bid preparation, review line items, select products and confirm prices. Link eligible attachments in their categories and review the relevant declaration.

  2. Address validation

    Resolve the operational items shown by the workflow: prices, documents, representative and duplicates. Also review the tender requirements with your team.

  3. Submit and verify

    Start submission through the extension with your Mercado Público session. Review the result and comparison with the portal. Keep available records and receipts.
