## Definition
A bid with the ‘request for proposal’ rendering type can be considered equivalent to a booking with the other features.
It is the proposal made by an offerer in response to the ‘request for the proposal’ of an asker.
The bid is the services given when an agreement is made between the asker and the offerer to perform the desired service.
The booking allows all parties to agree on the date and if possible the place. It is a written record of this agreement. All of this is done via the platform.
WHO CAN USE THIS FEATURE?
This is for logged super-administrators and administrators with good roles/permissions.
## Create a bid
Only the platform users (askers/offerers) can make a bid.\
Also, a bid is created when an offeror propose is service through an asker request.
## Read a bid
On the SBO, super-administrators and administrators can see all the bids made on the platform.
Each bid block (figure 1) is composed of:
* The request for proposal title
* The bid start time and date
* The bid status
* The asker
* The offeror
* The bid price + asker fees
* Bid ID
When hovering your mouse on a booking block or selecting one of the bookings, a sidebar menu will pop up. Click the blue folder on the right icon to see the booking details.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://features.scnd.com/v2.0/superadmin/bookings/bids-management.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
