SmartBid

SmartBid is bid management software from ConstructConnect, aimed mainly at general contractors who run the bidding stage with many subcontractors. It works in a web browser and on mobile devices, within ConstructConnect's wider preconstruction suite. A contractor invites subcontractors to bid, follows who has replied, and compares the responses in one place. Shared plans and templates keep repeat projects consistent from one bid to the next.

What SmartBid offers

• Subcontractor database — sortable by trade, location and expertise.
• Prequalification forms — subcontractor vetting before they bid.
• Bid invitations — responses tracked, with automated deadline reminders.
• Documents and templates — shared plans and customisable project templates.
• Reporting — bid analytics and subcontractor participation reports.
