Compare subcontractor bids side by side—not retyped from a dozen formats

A general contractor solicits subcontractor bids over email, so comparing bids side by side means manually retyping numbers from a dozen different formats. Build a structured bid form every subcontractor responds through.

A dozen PDFs don't compare themselves

When every subcontractor bids in their own document format, comparing them line by line means someone manually transcribing every number into a spreadsheet—slow, and easy to get wrong under deadline pressure.

Give subcontractors a structured response form, and generate the comparison automatically once bids come in.

From package to award
  1. 1. Project bid package is created with scope and requirements
  2. 2. Bid package is sent to invited subcontractors
  3. 3. Subcontractors submit responses through a structured form
  4. 4. Responses are compared side by side by scope item
  5. 5. Award decision is made and the subcontractor is notified

  • A late bid submission must be flagged, not silently accepted.
  • An awarded bid must lock its terms, so later negotiation is tracked as a change, not an edit.
