How to submit your tender through BuildingConnected

As a subcontractor, once you have been invited to tender on a project you can easily submit tenders through BuildingConnected.

To begin, find the project in your Tenders dashboard. 

• From the “Accepted” tab on your Tenders dashboard, click “Send or Log” on the right-hand side of the tender.
  
  
  
• If you are already inside the project, click on the “Tener Form” tab or click “Tender Form” next to "Opportunity Summary".
  
  Note: "Tender Form" appears next to the Opportunity Summary after you have indicated you are tendering. Select "Tendering" first see the "Tender Form" button.
  
  

Enter all the information requested by the client in the form. To attach any documents, click "Attach your proposal" and select files from your computer. The files will immediately start uploading until they reach 100%. Upload more by clicking "Attach more". 

Click "Print" to download or print a PDF copy of the tender form. The proposal will open in a new tab where there are options to download and print. 

Once the bid form is complete, click “Preview & send”.

Please note that if you do not fill in all of the required questions, you will see any required items highlighted with a red flag. Fill them in accordingly and click "Preview & send" again. 

Confirm all information on the tender form is correct then click “Submit.” Once you click “Submit,” the GC will receive your proposal as well as an email notification.



You will receive a confirmation. Click "Add tracking data" to enter additional private notes, or click "Go to Tenders".



You can ensure your tender was submitted successfully by checking that the “Status” has changed to “Submitted" and the tender form now says "Sent proposal" with the date and time the proposal was sent.
