Planyard Construction Bidding Software

Establish a clear and transparent vendor and subcontractor bidding process to save your teams’ time and ensure fair competition among the bidders. Have a clear overview of the market prices, visualize the budget risks before raising commitments, and hire the best-performing subcontractors and vendors.

Easy-to-Use Interface for Creating and Sending Bid Requests

Planyard’s intuitive bid request interface simplifies creating new requests for all stakeholders. Just add the subject, description, and deadline, then select budget items and send the request to multiple suppliers at once. You can paste emails directly or select from your supplier database.

Track vendor performance in Planyard to see the top-performing subcontractors and ensure they’re included in your bids. Build the bid sheet by selecting items straight from the budget, setting quantities, and adding target prices.

Streamlined Bid Submission for Vendors and Subcontractors

Subcontractors and vendors receive an email with a bid sheet attached. They fill it out and upload it using the ‘Upload Your Bid Sheet Here’ button within the email—no training, account, or extra software required.

Once bids are submitted, vendors can update their contact details, automatically refreshing their contact information in the database. This way, your contact list stays up-to-date with every bid request, ensuring the team always has the latest details.

Real-Time Tracking of Bid Requests and Bidders

All project bid requests are stored in one place and accessible to all stakeholders. You can view the number of participants, submitted bids, and compare the best bid against the project budget.

Track which bidders have reviewed the documents and follow up with those who haven’t. You can also manually upload bids exported from subcontractor or vendor estimating software with ease.

Compare Bids and Spot Budget Risks Before Committing

Receive all vendor and subcontractor bids in a single view using Planyard’s construction bidding software. Color-coded indicators show if quantities have been revised or if a bid exceeds the target price, helping you quickly identify budget risks.

Request bid revisions and track improvements as they come in. With just one click, convert the winning bid into a subcontractor order or purchase order.

Review and Approve Winning Bid Proposals

Run multi-round bid requests with Planyard’s construction bidding software to increase competition and get the best response from the market. Set up manager approval workflows to review and approve proposals before finalizing purchase or subcontractor orders.

Simplify the estimator’s bidding process by allowing project managers and quantity surveyors to access and review bid requests and proposals.
