Subject line
The subject line of a contract opportunity should be mentioned on your submission form and should be identical to the posting in order to be considered
Closing date
Keep an eye on the closing date! If a contract opportunity mentions e.g. ‘January 31, 2022 prior 16:00PM’ as a closing date, then all bids should be entered before that date and time. Bids entered after the mentioned closing date will not be considered.
Place of contract performance
A contract opportunity always mentions the place of contact performance. In other words: where should the contractual works be performed performed or where a company bidding on a solicitation should be based.
