How main contractors can add subcontractors to sub list templates

With BC Pro, you can create bidder list templates to easily import bidders into new projects. To add bidders to a template, you must first create tender packages in a bidder list template. 

Next, within a bidder list template, click into a tender package.

Click "Add Bidders". 

There are three ways you can add bidders to a bidder list template. This is the same process as adding bidders to a project: 

• Search
• Import
• Email

Please note that adding bidders to bidder list templates will not send them an email notification. Bidders will only receive an email notification once a bidder list template is imported into a project and the project is then published.

For more information about bidder list templates, including instructions on how to import bidder list templates into projects, please visit the “Bidder Lists” section of our help center.

Search

Our "Search" tab includes our robust recommendation engine which provides you with subcontractors that meet your project's needs. Learn about how our recommendation engine works and how to use it here.
