A Standard Email Template is used to send email notification for Notice of Intent to Award (NOIA) and Notice of Award (NOA).
This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Standard Email Template NOIA.

When an NOIA is sent, bidders will receive email notification based on NOIA standard email template defined for the business unit.
Another standard email template is used to send notifications for NOA.
This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Standard Email Template NOA.

When an NOA is sent, bidders will receive email notification based on NOA standard email template defined for the business unit. This standard template will be used for sending NOA for both awarded and non-awarded bidders. However, the content of the notification will vary for awarded and non-awarded bidders.
A separate RTF template type is also defined under BI Report definition to send NOIA and NOA. The report template file is used to generate a PDF which will be attached on the email notification for NOIA and NOA.
This example illustrates the fields and controls on the RTF Template for NOIA/NOA.
