ABSTRACT

Electronic Tender is carrying out the traditional tender process in an electronic form, using the

internet. The client can base their decision on the result of the tenders to select the most suitable

seller. In this paper, we present a design and implementation of an e-tender system by using Web

services for the automation of such tender processes.

A Tender Process is a method by which suppliers are selected for the provision of products and

services to an organization. The process involves creating a suite of Tender Documents to

manage the supplier selection process. The Tender Documents help the organization to select the

best possible supplier available, and include documents such as the "Statement of Work",

"Request for Information" and "Request for Proposal".

INTRODUCTION

E-tender project is an online web portal asp.net project which is an automated method for manual

tender process where tender process can be done through online process. In present trend manual

methods are used for tender process users need to submit documents and participate on location

for attending tender process. But this is time taking process and users there will be problem for

users who are away from location.

Users need to register with application and get unique user name and password for accessing

these features. This system is designed using ASP.NET technology which can build dynamic

web pages easily. Interaction with database, personalizing components are also available in this

technology

In this project, the companies who wish to participate in submitting a tender need to register

online through the website. Once the registration of the company is completed, the company

adds the different items as per the requirement. When the client views the site, he can check out

the various tenders and can apply for the tenders by filling up the required details.

OBJECTIVEBy using a formal tender process, you can show that the preferred supplier was selected fairly.

This Tender Process includes all of the steps needed to select and contract external suppliers,

quickly and efficiently.

1. Enable all those involved to access documentation simultaneously and be kept up-to-date

via instant notifications, ensuring the process is fair 

2. Reduce phone calls seeking documentation and project updates, and share answers to

frequently asked questions 

3. Provide clarity, transparency and consistency through the effective communication of key

procurement milestones and updates

4. Save time and waste in the production, revision, publication and distribution of technical

specifications and documentation 

5. Make it easier to log, share, discuss and address key issues and risks.

METHODOLOGY

This project performs the product tender through online web application.

The entire system is divided into 3 major modules

1. Admin

2. Buyer

3. Supplier

1. Admin: The admin has to login with his user id and password and matins

Products details and category details and also matins Buyer details and Buyer

reports and Buyer registrations and Reports. He can modify the tenders, and

answer queries posted by suppliers.

2. Buyer: The buyer has to register if they are new to the website. Then they can

login with their user id and password and view their own profile, post tenders,

view all suppliers, send mails to the supplier or the admin. They also can query

for the related tenders.

3. Supplier: The Supplier has to register if they are new to the website. Then they

can login with their user id and password and view their own profile, post tenders,

view all buyers, send mails to the supplier or the admin. They also can query for

the related tenders.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATION

Hardware Requirements

RAM 2 GB and Above

Software Requirements

WINDOWS OS (XP / 2000 / 200 Server / 2003 Server)

Visual Studio .Net Framework (Minimal for Deployment) version 4.0 Internet

Information Server (IIS)

Ajax Toolkit

SQL Server 2008

Why .NET?

1. Interoperability between languages and execution environments

2. Uniformity in schema or formats for Data Exchange using XML

3. Extend or use existing code that is valid

4. Programming complexity of environment is reduced

The .NET Framework is…

1. A component model for the internet

2. The new approach to building large scale distributed systems for the Internet

3. Provides the capability to integrate multiple devices

4. Built around the tools and protocols (XML, WSDL, SOAP, HTTP) that are becoming standard

on the Internet

The .NET in ASP.NET stands for the .NET Framework, a set of objects and blueprints from

Microsoft for building applications. All applications developed under the .NET Framework;

including ASP.NET applications, have certain key features that ensure compatibility, security,

and stability.

The .NET Framework Design Goals

1. Component Development for the Internet

2. "Cross-Language Development”

3. Inheritance, Debugging, Exception handling

4. Reliability and Security

5. Simple Development and Deployment

6. Device-agnostic

ASP.NET

ASP.NET is a technology that allows us to build and control dynamic Web pages easily. It also

provides many enhancements to take advantage of new technology as we can interact with

databases, personalize Web pages for visitors, display page on mobile devices (such as cell

phones), and even build an entire e-commerce site from scratch.

Previously internet works on request/response model that is an integral part of client/server

model. Although this is a marvelous way of communicate and distribute information, it's rather

simple and static. When the process is over, once client receives the requesting page from the

server the server has no idea what the client is doing unless it makes another request.

There is another model for communicating between server and clients, known as event-driven

model.ASP.NET work on this model, it detects action and responds to them i.e. the server waits

around for something to happen on the client. Once it does, the server takes action and performs

some piece of functionality. Of course, a Web, server cannot know what you are thinking, but it

can respond to your actions. If you type some text on Web page, the server responds to it. If you

click an image, the server responds.

Implementation EnvironmentBack-End:

SQL SERVER

SQL Server is an SQL-compliant RDBMS. SQL-compliant means it use the ANSI (American

National Standard Institute) version of Structured Query Language or ‘SQL’. Structured Query

Language is a command that allow us to modify or retrieve information from the database.

Client server means that SQL Server is designed to store data in the central location (the server)

and deliver it on demand to numerous other locations (the client). SQL Server is also a

Relational Database Management System (RDBMS).

FEATURES OF SQL SERVER 2008

1 Information representation

2 Unique definition of rows

3 Systematic treatment of Null values

4 Guaranteed access

5 High level Update, Insert, and Delete

6 Retrieving information from the database.

7 Accepting query language statements.

8 Enforcing security specifications.

9 Enforcing data integrity specifications

10 Enforcing transaction consistency

11 Managing data sharing

12 Optimizing queries

13 Managing System catalogs

CONCLUSION

It has been a great pleasure for us to work on this exciting and challenging project. This project proved good for us as it provided practical knowledge of not only programming in ASP.NET and C# web based application but also about all handling procedure related with “E-Tender”. It also provides knowledge about the latest technology used in developing web enabled application and client server technology that will be great demand in future. This will provide better opportunities and guidance in future in developing projects independently.
