Do I have to commit to received bid proposals after I have submitted an RFP? [ Back to Top]

No.  You are not required to select a Vendor.

If you do not select a Vendor before the posted RFP due date, your request will be cancelled & the Vendor will be notified.

If or when you select a Vendor, an e-mail will be sent to all Vendors letting them know if they have been awarded the bid; or not.

Can I add a category or subcategory to ProjectBidding.com? [ Back to Top ]

Yes. Just contact ProjectBidding.com at categoryrequest@projectbidding.com, or click HERE.

and let us know what category and/or subcategory you would like to have added to the website, and we will add it for you. We will also follow up with you when it should be ready for use.

As a Vendor, how will I know if I have been out bid by someone else? [ Back to Top ]

You will receive an e-mail alerting you that someone has bid lower than you.

As a Consumer, how do I get Vendors to bid on my project(s) or wanted item(s)? [ Back to Top ]

Simple, just follow the step provided below:

1. On the homepage, select the checkbox that reads "I am a Consumer".
2. Now select the Business Category.
3. Now select the Business Sub-Category.
4. Now you are shown a list of available Vendors.
5. Select which Vendors you want to bid for you, simply by selecting the "Top 5", "Select All", or checkboxing each individual Vendor.
6. Select the "Create RFP" button.
7. Fill out the RFP form.
8. Select the "Submit" button.
   

That's it!  Your RFP has now been sent to all the Vendors you selected.

As a Consumer, how will I know what is the lowest bid? [ Back to Top ]

You can see in your personal account who is bidding the highest and lowest for each individual project.  You can also sort the bids from highest to lowest or vice versa.

As a Consumer, how do I make sure a bid stays within my budget? [ Back to Top ]

ProjectBidding.com automatically keeps track (on each individual project account) what bids are within the budget you entered in for each project or item.  The bids that are out of your budget will be colored differently than the bids that are within your budget.  Budgets are set up during the RFP process.

How much does it cost to become a member of ProjectBidding.com? [ Back to Top ]

There is no cost to users.  We believe you should not have to pay to find others to do business with.  This is a tool designed to help everyone do their job in a more effective and efficient manner.  This also means no membership or registration fee. 

Do I need to Register to use ProjectBidding.com? [ Back to Top ]

No.  You are free to use the site.  The only reason you would need to register is so you can view your bids from Vendors you sent RFP's to.  We keep track of everything and give you your own personal and confidential account.

Is a membership required? [ Back to Top]

No.  Project bidding is available to everyone without any associated charges.

Do I have to pay any fees? [ Back to Top]

There are no hidden fees or costs with ProjectBidding.com.

Can I share my account? [ Back to Top ]

Please see section 5 of the Term of Services agreement, titled "ACCOUNT PASSWORD AND SECURITY".  We recommend that each user have their own account.  Each account is the responsibility of the user. 

Can I sort or filter the Vendors and their bids? [ Back to Top] 

Yes, advanced search is our recommendation when doing a search on our project bidding website. To use ProjectBidding.com's advanced search you can filter projects by selecting each specific Business Category & Subcategory, and by entering in a specific State, City, or Zip Code. These searches are located on the homepage on the left-hand-side of the Business Category list.

You can also try searching specific subcategories by typing in keywords in our site search box, located at the very top of the homepage.

Note: Some Vendors may not have specified there service to one specific state.  In this case search ALL in the state category to view all vendors that can help you.

How do I create and submit a project? [ Back to Top ]

This would apply to the Consumer only.  The Consumer selects the Vendors that they want by check-marking specific Vendors, or by selecting the top five or all Vendors; using the provided buttons.  Once this done, the Consumer selects "Create RFP".  If you are already logged-in, you can follow the same process as we just mentioned, or you can select "Create RFP" under the Options menu.

How do I advertise on ProjectBidding.com? [ Back to Top ]

Select the Advertise link on the homepage, or you can select

HERE to go straight to the Advertising page.

Can I revise my RFP after it has been submitted? [ Back to Top]

Yes.

To do so, follow these steps:

1. Login to your account.
2. Select the Project you need to revise.
   
3. Select "Edit" (on the far right-hand-side). 
4. Make any change you need to.

Can I change my bid? [ Back to Top]

Yes.  You can change your bid as often as you would like, the Vendor's account will be automatically updated with any and all changes.
