Teamwork works better when everyone has an invite to collaborate. That's why we built Procore Bid Management to allow every stakeholder in the bidding process—from your executives, estimators, and project team to the partners you invite to bid—to collaborate in a single platform. This reduces the time required to manage bids, creates greater visibility into bidder activity, and centralizes all data in one place.

Manual and paper-based bid management is a time-consuming and expensive process. Between creating bid packages, distributing the plans and specifications needed to create accurate bids, and tracking the coverage of every trade—the potential for savings on administrative and overhead fees are enough to justify an investment in software.

According to Software Advice, some of the features to look for in a construction bid management software are: contact management, a custom form builder, a project calendar, a subcontractor portal, and communication template library. Procore's all-in-one platform allows you to do all of this, plus, prequalify potential partners, convert bids to contracts that update your budget, and manage your people, projects, resources, and financials through closeout.

Yes! Procore's open API allows for you to integrate with any software that helps you streamline the bidding process. One of the most popular is Procore's Docusign integration. It allows you to e-sign, seal, and deliver contracts immediately—no snail mail or postage required. If you already have bid management software, check the AppMarketplace to see if there is a readily available integration.

Procore's bid management process is as easy as create, invite, convert. Create your bid in minutes with autopopulated project info, documents, drawings, specs, and more that are pulled in from Procore Project Management. Send invitations to bid out the work with the click of a button and monitor all bid activity from a single dashboard. Once you've selected the best bid for the job, convert it into a subcontract or purchase order with the click of a button and watch your Procore Project Financials Budget tool update immediately.

With Procore, you can manage the entire bid life cycle—from creating bid packages to converting the winning proposal into a subcontract—with a single platform solution. This helps to reduce turnaround times and give you complete visibility over bid activity and project coverage.
