When managing a tender, you need to be able to easily understand the proposals submitted by invited law firms. LegalEye allows you to efficiently navigate a law firm’s proposal, by covering the key information presented to you after opening a tender proposal.
There are several actions you can undertake when viewing a proposal. As such, you will be able to
Download the proposal (see Downloading a Tender Proposal)
Request for the proposal’s resubmission (see Requesting a Proposal Resubmission)
Award the tender to the law firm (see Awarding a Tender Proposal)
Decline the tender proposal (see Declining a Tender Proposal).

Step 2: Access a proposal
In LegalEye, there are two ways you can access a proposal. The first way is by navigating to the tender’s Proposal tab and clicking on the “View proposal” button next to the relevant proposal. (see Viewing Submitted Tender Proposals). Alternatively, you can access a proposal through the proposal comparison page, by clicking on “Read Proposal”. (see Comparing Tender Proposals).
Step 2: Navigate the Proposal Overview
After opening a tender proposal, you will first see the Proposal Overview page. This includes the proposal’s summary and all the sections included in your firm’s tender.
