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.

If there’s some problem with the budget, it just tells you what you need to fix and you’ll be fine. It really just kind of thinks a step ahead for you.”

“Planyard is a live overview of your project. How they are performing financially and it is basically a CVR that is live all the time. I have saved a lot of time! It’s so much easier now that I am less reliant on Excel. When we’ve been awarded a project and we’ve uploaded the project on Planyard, I don’t need to look at spreadsheets anymore.”
