If a Vendor can't view your Public Award Notice because they can't access the opportunity, this is due to the Past Public Opportunities feature not being enabled. This feature grants vendors access to any past public opportunities that have been posted on your portal.

With this feature enabled, you will see an additional tab on the Public Portal titled Past Public Opportunities. Only public projects that are closed will be visible here. All Private Projects and/or Invite-Only Projects will remain hidden from view.

Vendors can click into any project to check on the award notice without logging in to Bonfire. Any projects that have awarded Vendors will be identified by a green tag indicating that an award has been made:

If you use the Public Award Notice feature, the award will appear near the bottom of the Project Details page. To view the Public Award statement, a Vendor can click on the View Award button:

NOTE: When a Vendor is marked as "Awarded", the Vendor is NOT automatically notified of the award. If you'd like to notify the Vendors (either the Awarded Vendor and the other Vendors that participated in the opportunity), then we recommend either making a Public Notice or issuing a direct message via the Opportunity Q&A function.
