    Article summary

    Purpose

    This Job Aid describes how to amend an engaged Job. 

    Audience

    Job Managers, Lender Managers, Content Administrators, Lender Executives.


    Amend an Award

    The Amend Award feature becomes available after a Vendor has accepted an awarded Job. Once the Vendor has accepted the award, the Service Status will change to Accepted in Collateral360.

    To amend the award, navigate to the Report Status page. Click Actions, then click Amend Award.

    Note:

    The process is the same for single sites and Portfolio Projects, with the following exception: The Amend Award page is accessed in a different location for Portfolio Projects.

    The Amend Award page will open. The labels of some fields will be customized to match the label of the field on your RFP. Example: “Report Delivery Date” in the example below might be labelled “Report Due Date” in your organization’s Collateral360 site.

    A small number of fields might also be excluded from the Amend Award page to reflect your organization’s settings. Example: The organization in the image below does not use the Vendor Comments field, and as such that field does not appear on the Amend Award page. 

    Note:

    All fields with a red asterisk must be completed. Additionally, at least one of the following must be changed from the default values before the amendment can be submitted: Due Date, Fee, or Scope Comments.

    Note:

    Some organizations disable the ability to edit Amend Award automatically upon the Vendor uploading the Final Report. Contact your organization’s Collateral360 administrator to learn more.


    If the Vendor rejects the amended award, the Service Status changes to Amendment Rejected. When an amended award has been rejected by the Vendor, three options remain:

    • Cancel the Request: Change the Service’s Status to Cancelled.

    • Amend Again: Repeat the amendment process, addressing the item(s) that caused the Vendor to reject the original amended award.
