Name the city, county or agency and the kind of work. We keep checking public pages and email you once, with the RFP’s link and the words that match, when it is posted. No subscription, nothing renews.
Bid Banana is $49.99 a month. BidNet Direct is $599 a year for one state. A watch here is $2.99 for 3 months, paid once.
Type it the way you’d ask a friend, or paste the page if you have one. Answer a question or two with a click. No settings.
We run the check today and show what we’d watch, what counts as news, and the fee.
An email when it happens, with quotes and links as proof. We check daily to weekly, as it needs, not in real time.
$2.99 covers 3 months. Bid services charge every month whether your bid comes up or not.
No NIGP codes or keyword lists to set up. A reader checks meaning, so “custodial services” counts when you asked for janitorial.
We quote the posting word for word and link to it. A second reader must agree before we send it.
An introductory offer while we’re new: start any watch free for a month, no card. When it ends, watch again, free while the offer lasts, or for a longer term. Pay once: no subscription, no auto-renew.
Bids posted on public pages: city, county and school district sites, public bid listings and news a web search finds. You can also name up to three pages, such as your city’s bids page. We can’t see inside portals that need a vendor login, and some portals block automated checks. Before you pay, we run the check and show what we can see today.
Not in real time. A bids page you name is checked about once a day, and so is a web search for a bid. A search can take days to find a new posting and bid windows can be short, so if you know the agency’s bids page, give it to us.
No. You get the posting’s link and the quoted text. Register with the agency to download the documents, get addenda and submit.
Yes. Set up a watch for each agency or kind of work you bid on. At $2.99 each, ten watches still cost less than one month of most bid services, and you only hear about bids that fit.
The brief you approve says so. Usually it is a new RFP, RFQ or invitation to bid from that buyer for that work. An award, an intent to award or a bid that was already posted doesn’t count. Waiting on an addendum or the award for a bid you already have? That is an addendum and award watch.
Yes. Name the agency and the work, and we watch for the solicitation and email you the link when it posts.
