The forward auction process on OCL Bidder begins with verifying the requirement or surplus assets. These materials are then documented. Vendors are notified, and pre-bid inspections or clarifications are facilitated. The live bidding event or tender opening is launched, allowing real-time bid monitoring and updates. Once the bidding concludes, the winner is selected. The final step involves facilitating payment and completing the necessary documentation. This streamlined process ensures efficient management of material requirements and surplus assets, providing a transparent and competitive platform for vendors to participate in auctions.
