As a supplier, you cannot request a bid extension directly through an automated feature on the platform. The decision to extend a submission deadline rests entirely with the Contracting Authority managing the tender.
If you require additional time to submit your bid, you must contact the Contracting Authority directly to submit your request. Any changes to the deadline must be officially approved and updated by them.
Finding the Contracting Authority's Contact Details
You can view the buyer's contact information directly on the opportunity page to get in touch with them.
Follow these steps:
Open the relevant business opportunity (tender).
Navigate to the Buyer Details section.
Click Show all buyer information.
The card will expand to display the buyer’s contact information, such as the contact name and other provided details.
Important Note: While the platform displays the Contracting Authority's contact details, your communication with them regarding the extension request will typically take place outside the platform (for example, via email).
If you are a Sourcing Core user (Sweden only) you do have a Messages section available in-app once you have expressed interest in the business opportunity. There they can send direct messages to the buyer that are only between the supplier and buyer
