How do I prepare a second submission?

Some Buyers accept Alternate Submissions from the same proponent for their Project, while others do not. You know whether you can submit multiple submissions if the following message appears on your submission confirmation page:

Submission confirmation page message indicating multiple submissions are allowed for this Project.

You can also tell from reading the Submission Instructions included in the project via the Unique Per Alternate descriptor. The Submission Instructions also outline which pieces of Requested Information require a new file upload for every Alternate Submission, as well as the maximum number of Alternate Submissions allowed.

If you do not see either of these messages, that means the Project Owner has not enabled the Additional Submission feature. If possible, you can try reaching out to them and ask them if they will consider turning it on for you or accepting an additional response another way. For more information on this, refer to the How do I contact the Project Owner? page.

If an organization you are submitting to is accepting multiple submissions, you can submit a Primary Proposal along with Alternate Submission(s). You can prepare both at the same time; however, a Primary Proposal must be submitted and finalized before you can submit an Alternate Submission. Otherwise, you will receive the following message:

You can choose which proposal to work on under the Submission section of the listing page.

Note

When preparing an Additional Submission, you only have to re-submit files for the Requested Information slots tagged Unique Per Alternate, as the other files are considered common (i.e., they only need to be submitted once) and you upload them with your Primary Submission.

If you begin an Alternate Submission, Euna Procurement makes it very clear (under the Special Instructions heading on the Submission Page) that you may only upload for the Unique Per Alternate slots.
