Tracking a Proposal

Tracking a proposal is easy; you can do this on line through The Portal. Your innovation/idea is known as an Opportunity until it is submitted to the MOD, once submitted it becomes a Proposal, this is the only version the MOD can access.

Opportunities

Using The Portal you can track the status of your opportunity through the Opportunities tab in the My Applications task area. The opportunities status indicators are:

  1. Created: Opportunity title and description have been entered on The Portal.
  2. Work in Progress: Opportunity details being entered and updated on The Portal.
  3. Draft: Published within Enterprise as pdf draft.
  4. Final: Published within Enterprise as pdf final (can be reset to draft).

Up until this point MOD has no visibility of your proposal. MOD and CDE staff will only be able to view you proposal when it has been SUBMITTED (this is different from published).

  1. Submitted: Submitted to MOD as pdf proposal: Note this is the only version of the proposal that MOD staff see.

Proposals

Using The Portal you can continue to track the status of your submitted Proposal through the Proposal tab in the My Applications task area.

The proposal status indicators are:

  1. Received: Acknowledgement of receipt by MOD.
  2. Assessing: Being assessed/scored by MOD reviewers (see How We Assess Your Proposal).
  3. Deciding: With MOD decision makers.
  4. Selected: The proposal has been selected for contract generation. You should not commence work or enter into any financial commitment until you have received a contract.
  5. Not Selected: The proposal has not been selected for contract generation. Feedback will be provided to indicate the reason.

More detailed guidance can be found in the Technology Application Reference Manual under The Portal pages.
