Auction & Bid Information
e-Tender
e-Tender is the first stage of the e-Sale. It is a closed process where members can submit bids for any amount above the Reserve Price. The bid amounts are confidential and so no one can see the exact amounts that have been submitted.
e-Bidding: e-Bidding is the second stage of the e-Sale and starts only when the e-Tender has been closed. This is an open process similar to any auction. Bidders submit bid amounts higher than the last bid amount starting from the Minimum Reserve Price. Note: There is a Minimum Incremental Bid Amount (MIBA).
Next step after e-Tender and e-Bidding: After the e-Tender and e-Bidding is closed, the highest bid amount from both these stages is identified and that Bidder is declared as the winner of the auction.
