Can I extend a reverse auction?

Reverse auctions within 10 minutes of a deadline will extend automatically for 10 minutes if a bid has been submitted.

There is no ability to extend an auction that has ended. However, you can Reopen a Request after an auction has ended (and after the Proposals Due By Date has passed).

If you choose to reopen a Request, you can keep the Request open to proposals and view new proposals or revised prices in the Comparator screen. You can notify firms in the Comments channel, or via a Clarification, if you wish to place a time limit on how long you will consider new proposals.

If you wish to conduct a new reverse auction you can Copy the Request and select Enable Reverse Auction while it is still a draft.
