What happens after a reverse auction ends?

Bidding is closed.

When an auction ends, firms are no longer able to revise their proposals. A client then has four options:

1. The client may do nothing, in which case the Request status is Evaluating.
2. The client may choose to “Select” a proposal, in which case the successful and unsuccessful firms will be notified accordingly. The client may select multiple proposals.
3. The client mark the request as Completed. The client may or may not have selected a firm.
4. The client may communicate with firms regarding revising and submitting further revisions via the counter proposal feature.
