Deal Guidelines
To ensure only relevant and timely bid opportunities are shared, deals must meet the following criteria:
- Opportunity Name – Required
- City and State – Required
- Organization Name – The owner of the bid solicitation
- Bid Due Date – Must be either in the future or within the past 14 days
- Contact Information – The bid request must include the name of an estimator or decision-maker, along with their email address
All the above can be found in a solicitation method, such as ITB, RFP, RFI, RFQ, or Public Notices
Tips to create best Deals for Marketplace
Prioritize Future Pre-Construction Bid Due Dates
- Deals with bid due dates further in the future attract more interest since they give bidders ample time to prepare and submit their proposals.
- While you can list deals with bid due dates up to 14 days in the past, keep in mind that older deals are generally less desirable, as fewer companies will be willing to buy them.
Include the Plans/Drawings URL
- Whenever possible, provide a direct link to the project plans and drawings. Keep in mind that some links may lead to a login page—buyers will need access to view the details.
Specify the Square Footage
- Listing the project’s square footage helps bidders quickly assess the scope and scale of the opportunity.
Add Multiple Contact Points
-
- Including more than one contact person increases the likelihood of getting a response and helps bidders connect with the right decision-makers.
Description
-
Bid invites should include notes on bid submission details and key project information, such as a description of the building. The more details, the better—providing as much context as possible makes the deal more valuable to potential bidders.
