Week or month
You see the dates in a week or month view, with a "Today" button. Next to the bid submission dates, there is also the deadline for questions regarding the tender specifications (SWZ).
A calendar that automatically collects your tender dates
You add a procedure to Observed, and its dates appear in the calendar. You switch to week or month view, and the colour suggests what is most urgent.
How dates appear in the calendar
Observing a procedure
Add a tender to Observed with a star on the list or on the card.
The deadline is added to the calendar

What the calendar shows
Urgency colors
The color of the date indicates how much time is left: "Today / tomorrow", "Within 3 days", "Later", or "Deadline passed".
One click from the menu
The calendar has its own entry in the "My activity" menu.
Questions about the calendar
Still have a question? Contact us
Will the calendar remind me of the deadline?
No. The calendar shows dates, but it does not send messages. You can also find the nearest deadlines at the top of the Observed list.
Can I add deadlines to Google Calendar or Outlook?
The calendar in openSales does not connect to other calendars. You can prepare a calendar file (.ics) using the tender validity deadline calculator.
Where do the dates in the calendar come from?
From the contract announcement. Before submitting a bid, check the deadline in the source: the link to the announcement is on the procedure's tab.
Which procedures are visible in the calendar?
Only those you are observing. When you add a tender to Observed, its deadline will immediately appear in the calendar.
Is the calendar free?
Yes. The calendar works on a free account.
