This prevents any information provided by the applicant or tenderer from being viewed by until the eSourcing event is closed. The e-sourcing (e-tendering) application will display the closing date/time within the event and automatically close the event when the time is reached. Once the event is closed only personnel who have access to the event within the system will be able to open and view the tender responses. Therefore, the opening time for tenders will coincide with the close date and time for the event and all tenders will become visible to personnel who have access to the event within the system."
