BuildingConnected gives subcontractors the ability to add their own suppliers or vendors to tenders. This allows you to pass the files or project details to any parties that are helping you prepare your proposal, while only giving them limited access as they will not be submitted a tender to the client for you.

What is a vendor and what information can vendors access?
Vendors are ideally any third parties that are helping you put together your estimate or any suppliers or subcontractors that you will need to use in order to perform the scope of work requested. These parties do not submit a proposal for you so this is why "vendors" in our system have limited access.
Vendors can view:
- Tender information (project name, tender due date, client details, tendering status)
- Assignees
- Followers that work for the company that owns the tender
- Any followers that work at the vendor's own company
- Project files
Vendors cannot view:
- The tender form or submit a tender
- Messages
- Vendors that work at other companies
- Internal information (comments, tracking information, files uploaded under the "Internal Files" section)
