Pre-Qualified Vendor Application

Starting your PQVP: Pre-Qualified Vendor Pool (PQVP) Project

In order to start the PQVP process, you will need to have completed

1. Configuration of a Pre-Qualification Vendor Pool project in Document Builder
2. Configuration of Form Fields and Evaluation Criteria for your Pre-Qualification Vendor Pool project in Evaluation Builder
3. A Workflow set up with Document Builder stage, Publication stage, and Evaluation Stages (as many your bidder qualification process requires)

A properly configured PQVP project will resemble the following in Project Stages:

Please confer with your Team's Administrators and/or Authorium's Support Team if you are not sure whether you have a finalized Pre-Qualified Vendor List project, or need assistance configuring one.

Publishing your PQVP

When you have finalized configuration of your Pre-Qualified Vendor Pool Document with Form Fields and Evaluation Criteria, create a Project in respect of it; or access the already-created Project should your Administrators already have one generated. Navigate to the Publication Stage > Publish substage, and fill out the required fields for publishing your project:

Once you have completed the Publish substage, obtain the "Link to publish Application" at the bottom of the substage and distribute the link through email distribution channels and professional networks to notify the vendor community of your intake on the platform. As Vendors commence applying to your Pre-Qualified Vendor Pool project you'll begin seeing your list of "Received Applications" grow with partially complete and completed applicants.

​

When Vendors complete their application to your published PQVP (green check mark will appear next to their vendor name), they will then become eligible for evaluation assignments to your department staff for your vendor pool.
