2. Layout & Design
To ensure the template is user-friendly and effective for data entry, the layout should be simple, intuitive, and easy to navigate. Here’s how to structure it:
Column Structure:
- Each column in the template corresponds to a specific data point mentioned above.
- Use column headers that clearly define each data point (e.g., “Tender ID,” “Tender Type,” “Bidder Name”).
- Include drop-down lists for certain columns to limit the entries to predefined options (e.g., Proposal Status, Tender Category).
- Where applicable, include data validation to ensure correct formatting (e.g., date columns, currency columns).
Tab Organization:
- The template should be organized into multiple tabs for different categories of data:
- Tender Data (This includes columns such as Tender ID, Proposal ID, and Proposal Status)
- Financial Data (Bid Amount, Payment Terms, Currency)
- Compliance and Evaluation (Compliance, Awarded Bidder, Evaluation Criteria)
- Post-Tender (Progress Reports, Post-Tender Communication)
- General Summary (High-level overview of data for quick analysis)
