This article shows you as a public buyer how the protocol is filled in and completed.
What the protocol is
The procurement protocol is the documentation of how the competition was run. It shows what was decided, when, and why.
You open it from the procurement with Generate protocol.
The sections
The protocol is split into numbered parts that follow the process: main details, choice of procedure, tenders received, tender opening, qualification and rejection, evaluation, choice of supplier, standstill and right of complaint, other matters, and signature.
Much of it is filled in from what you already registered along the way. What is missing, you write yourself.
💡 Tip: The better the justifications you wrote during evaluation, the less remains here. The protocol is where sloppiness earlier in the process becomes visible.
Complete it
When everything is in place, select Complete. A numbered version is created that can be downloaded and archived.
