Bid and procurement platform

Every bid follows your rules. Every location. Every prime.

Request a demoSee how it works

Example bid

Scheduled maintenance, field office

  1. Published from a template

  2. Every bidder saw every answer

  3. Scored against the stated criteria

Award blocked

Above a threshold your rules set. It cannot be awarded without the approval that threshold requires.

Who we serve

Three parties, one rule set.

The owner writes the rules. The prime may tighten them, never loosen them. The contractor answers what they produce.

  • Owners

    You run work across plants, facilities and field offices, and you set the policy everyone works inside.

    Single site to enterprise

    Solutions for owners

  • Prime contractors

    You deliver programmes and select sub-contractors, and must show in writing that you followed the owner's process.

    Delegated authority and audit trail

    Solutions for primes

  • Contractors

    You do the work. Respond to invitations, and at higher tiers see work you were not invited to.

    Invited, Pro and Growth tiers

    Solutions for contractors

How it works

One rule set, both sides of the bid.

The BidWorks bid, step by step

Six steps running top to bottom. Owners and their prime contractors act on the left, contractors on the right, and the arrows are the four exchanges between them: the invitation out, the response back, the award, and the performance reference.

Owner and prime

The prime works inside the owner's rules.

  • Step 01, Configure rules (O1, O2, P1): Roles, phases and approval thresholds. Primes accept them and work inside them.
  • Step 02, Connect vendors (O3, C1): Invite and classify contractors and primes. One network across every site.
  • Step 03, Templates and bids (O4, O5, P3): Publish from a template, with the response fields already defined. Exchange: Invitation.
  • Step 04, Respond and Q&A (O6, P4, C4, C5): One Q&A everyone sees. Every document change tracked and notified. Exchange: Response.
  • Step 05, Evaluate and shortlist (O7, O8, O9, C6): Scored against the stated criteria. Approved by a person, never an agent. Exchange: Award.
  • Step 06, Review and improve (O10, P8, C7): A structured review that feeds the next invitation list. Exchange: Reference.

  • Step 04, Respond and Q&A (O6, P4, C4, C5): Answer in the owner's fields, not in your own format. Exchange: Response.

The owner's view

Where a bid stops, and why.

Live bids, grouped by the stage your workflow defines.

The owner's dashboard at the evaluate and shortlist stage. Three bids need a person to act: one awaiting the owner's own review, one held for VP Operations approval, and one past its target date.
The owner's dashboard, in development. Sites, people and figures are sample data.

What BidWorks does differently

Your procurement policy, running as software.

Define your rules once. Head office, field office or prime, every bid follows them.

Built for multi-site industrial, not construction.

Head office and field offices, prime programmes, and service agreements that get re-bid on a cycle.

Bids that can actually be compared.

Contractors answer in the fields you defined, so evaluation is like for like, not ten PDFs in ten formats. Their own past responses feed the draft.

AI with control

Agents assist. People decide.

Agents work at every stage of a bid. None of them awards work.

Human in the loop

An agent cannot select a winner or change policy.

Traceability

Every action and score is logged, with the reason.

Configurable use

You choose which agents run, and vary sensitivity by category or spend.
