A web-based bid invitation and management software for commercial construction general contractors


SMARTBIDNET features keep you in charge while centralizing and simplifying vendor interactions. Integrated functions facilitate all the key components of the bidding process, from prequalification and supplier management to bid invitation and plan file collaboration.

  Subcontractor & Supplier Management

Simple features allow you, the bid manager, to build your private network of subcontractors and categorize them by the services they provide to ensure bids target qualified and licensed companies you approve. The goal is to build a network of approved subcontractors and vendors that will be available to submit proposals for future construction projects. Your private generated database of people and companies is securely available online 24/7 to ensure you never lose touch with those you depend on.

  Construction Bid Request

SMARTBIDNET allows you to send bid invitations to suppliers whose construction skills match your project needs. SMARTBIDNET will automatically send invitations to bid with supporting plans, specs and addenda, via e-mail or fax to the companies you specify.

  Project Bid Response

Suppliers respond to bid invitations by uploading project specs and supporting plans to your central portal. You can easily compare bid proposals as they are logged in. If you request bid clarification, the proposal you see reflects only the most up-to-date information provided by subs.

  Bid And Plan File Management

SMARTBIDNET provides the ability to view communication history, bid statistics and proposals on current and past bid projects. View saved copies of all communication, resend invites to subs or print out a copy for your own records through the communication management interface. Version tracking in the plan room allows you to upload new versions of documents and have only the most recent version available to subcontractors and suppliers.

  Customizable Reports

SMARTBIDNET provides detailed reports to keep information at your fingertips. Choose from existing reports or customize your own to display the information most relevant to you.

  On-Demand Information Updates

SMARTBIDNET makes it easy to stay current by allowing subcontractors and vendors to update their own contact information. Integrated e-mail functionality gives you the ability to request periodic updates with a few simple clicks. You approve subs’ changes before they are updated in your database.

  Support And Upgrades

SMARTBIDNET offers live chat support free of charge to all SMARTBIDNET customers. Qualified SMARTBIDNET personnel maintain your site, consistently enhance its functionality and ensure its protection.

  Privacy, Security And Independence

SMARTBIDNET maintains all of your bid information in a totally secure online environment, protected by high grade encryption and firewalls. Unlike other lead service or repographics-based plan rooms, SMARTBIDNET never solicits your subcontractors to buy anything. Their entire experience, from receiving the bid invitation to downloading plans to submitting their proposals, is totally free of charge and free from solicitations for other services. SMARTBIDNET does not resell or use our subcontractor database for any other purpose.
