Tenders for supplier pricelists

Dear Purchase experts,

We're facing the need to establish an tendering process to negotiate supplier price agreements for a period of time.

The input of the tender process is one or more products for which we need to establish a price agreement from one or more vendors, and for a period of time.

The tender process should involve requesting to the various suppliers to provide their bids, indicating their prices, minimum quantity that they can provide this price for and the validity period for that price.

The tendering process would involve reviewing the various pricing bids provided by suppliers, and selecting the winning bids.,

The result of the process would be product.supplierinfo records for the winning bids.

We have been looking at the module 'Purchase Requisition Bid Selection', and it is close to what we're looking for, but I see that it is more oriented towards getting a purchase order, not a price list.

We''re considering to approach this requirement by creating a purchase.supplierinfo.tender object, that allows to handle the tendering process, and create as many purchase.supplierinfo records as pricelist bids are provided by suppliers. Then the user would be able to confirm the supplierinfo records that would win, and the others would be rejected.

I welcome your opinion/feedback on the matter.

Thanks!
