How to review your submission
What Final Review checks, what the three pack states mean, what the five facts per form tell you, and what the download acknowledgement records.
~2 min read · Updated 16 September 2026
Final Review runs every check QuickTenders can make before a Submission Pack is downloaded, and groups the result into what was done, what is recommended, and what is yours.
What it checks
- Forms — for each required form: is it in the pack, did QuickTenders populate anything on it, does it still need your action, is it completed, is it signed. These are five separate facts. A blank buyer's form in the pack is physically included and awaiting your action; it is never completed.
- Written sections — written, accepted, edited by you, or waiting for an answer. Generated text you have not accepted is a warning, not a block.
- Bid Questions — unanswered required questions and provisional answers.
- Pricing — whether your decision is recorded.
- Documents — every document the pack will attach is actually on file; expired compliance documents are listed.
- Signing authority — a declared signatory; a resolution on file where the signatory is not a director.
- Dates — a date line the letter still needs from you.
- The tender's own wording — a contract period stated two ways, for you to clarify with the buyer.
- The tender — whether it has closed.
The three states
| State | Meaning | Download |
|---|---|---|
| Submission Ready | No open items | Yes |
| Review Required | Open items remain | Yes, after you acknowledge the list |
| Blocked | The tender has closed | No |
Blocking items would get the bid rejected or make it unsubmittable — an expired TCS PIN, missing signing authority. Warnings are worth knowing and do not stop you.
The acknowledgement
Downloading under Review Required records an acknowledgement: who, when, the exact list of open items with their classification, and — once the file leaves — the pack's fingerprint and page count. It is a record that you saw the list. It changes nothing about the pack, and the pack itself carries no workflow status.

Frequently asked questions
- If I download with "Review Required", is the pack marked as a draft?
- No. The pack carries no QuickTenders status of any kind. What is still open is shown in the workspace and recorded with your acknowledgement; the document the buyer receives is the same either way.
