Overview
Once a Procurement Document has been registered, published and notified to a list of possible vendors, changes are not allowed to it, the FreeBalance Accountability Platform treats it as a hard copy. Every changes required on the bid already published must be managed as an Amendment to the original document. The original document remains the same as when the status of the Procurement Document was set to ‘Published’, any additional changes is not impact this document. An amendment is added as part of the Procurement Document.
In the case that modifications to the Procurement Document are required and are not part of the available amendments (such as change the Institution Department that owns the Procurement Process), the Procurement Document must be cancelled
