Once you have created your packages, publish them to the C-Link Marketplace:

    • You will be directed to the procurement schedule page.
  2. Publish Packages:
    • You can either add subcontractors from your existing supply chain or publish the packages to new subcontractors.

  3. Example:

πŸ“§ Managing Subcontractor Interest

After publishing packages, manage the interest from subcontractors:

  1. Receive Interest Notifications:
    • Subcontractors will review your package and register their interest if approved.
    • You will receive an email notification the following morning informing you of the interest received.
  2. Add or Decline Interest:
    • You can then choose to add or decline the interested subcontractors to your procurement schedule.
    • This process is repeated for each package you wish to publish.
  3. Publishing Per Package:
    • You can publish packages individually. For example:
      • Publish the groundworks package.
      • Repeat the process for plumbing and heating by pressing the corresponding button.
