Web Based Request For Quote System

Here is a simple high level description of what is required. There will be other projects to enhance the base system at a later date. The first phase as I call it is getting the basic system up and running. Problem Statement To create a cloud based application to send, receive, respond and award request for quotes the most simple and quick way. The entire goal is an application that is VERY, VERY simple to use. There are two parties involved the BUYER and the SUPPLIER. This could be a very complex system but I want it as easy as possible at this point. We have written a complex system and its initially too much for the buyer/supplier relationship. This needs to be elegant, but simple to use. More features will be added later. 1. The concept is the buyer registers onto the system with basic information. This is a one time registration per buyer. The supplier is not required to register (In a future version this may be added functionality). 2. Buyer logs into the system and creates an RFQ (Request For Quote). This is basically a purchase order to the multiple suppliers 3. Buyer can do basic CRUD operations, Create RFQ, Read RFQ's, Update RFQ's and Delete RFQ's 4. Buyer can SUBMITS a single RFQ to multiple suppliers (Each supplier that the buyer wants to send the RFQ to). This is done in a single step of submit once the RFQ is created. The RFQ is basically in draft status until the submitted, cancelled, etc. 5. Supplier Contact information, i.e. a very, very simple contact system in order for the buyer to select suppliers from a list. 6. Each supplier receives an EMAIL describing that there is an RFQ available for them to respond to. The supplier clicks a link on the RFQ which opens a simple webpage which allows the supplier to respond to the RFQ (i.e. respond with prices, comments, etc). 7. The supplier responses will be saved with the Buyer RFQ. All responses can be reviewed by the buyer on a nice screen in order for the buyer to compare and make a decision on which supplier to use 8. Awarding of the RFQ will be a simple email back to the supplier describing the contents of the purchase order they have won. ## Deliverables I have attached a PDF describing more details to the project. I required I will expand on the details. We use SVN and if its possible I would like the development to take places checking in/out files through our SVN service. This will make it easier as the project grows passed this initial project. * * *This broadcast message was sent to all bidders on Sunday Sep 25, 2011 3:26:31 PM: If I did it correctly, I updated the requirements document with a few of the questions that have been posed. Its on the 2nd page of the document. * * *This broadcast message was sent to all bidders on Tuesday Sep 27, 2011 11:39:55 PM: I have received many bids and I'm reviewing the bids and will notify everyone later in the week. FYI - Examples are good and if you have some sort of timeline that would be helpful also. Thanks
