For buyers04

Evaluating & awarding

The Evaluation page opens only for the buyer, and only when the tender is in the Evaluation state: the reveal deadline has passed and at least one bid was revealed.

1. 1

   Compare revealed bids

   Bids are sorted by price, with the lowest marked and each one tagged as below range, within budget or over budget.
2. 2

   Decrypt proposals

   Each proposal is decrypted in your browser with the key the bidder published at reveal, then downloaded.
3. 3

   Exclude non-revealed bids

   Bids that were not revealed are listed as excluded; their proposal keys were never published.
4. 4

   Award with a reason

   Pick a revealed bidder and write a justification (at least 10 characters). The reason is uploaded to IPFS and its link is stored on-chain with the winner.

What the contract checks

• Only the buyer can award.
• Only in the Evaluation state, and only once.
• The winner must have a revealed bid, and the reason link must not be empty.

If nobody revealed

When the reveal deadline passes with no revealed bid, the tender becomes Failed and cannot be awarded.

Forfeited bonds

Bonds of bids that were not revealed do not go to you. After the reveal deadline anyone can press Send forfeited bonds to treasury on the tender page, and the contract sends them to the fixed Hedgora treasury.
