How to add your own budget to compare in Bid Leveling

If you have own budgeted costs for the items in your bid form, you can enter them in to compare side-by-side with the proposals submitted by your bidders. 

To do so, navigate to the "Bid Leveling" tab inside the bid package you want to add your costs to and click "Add Proposal". 



Enter in your own email or name and select "Add" next to your name when it appears.

Note: A proposal must be associated with a contact. Therefore, when you add yourself in this way, you will be added to your bidder list. However, you will not receive an invitation to bid email. You will see how the system will help to differentiate your costs from other companies in Bid Leveling. 



Complete the bid form accordingly by entering in your own costs as desired. 



Click "Add Proposal" at the bottom. 



You will be given a chance to review. Click "Submit". 



Now, in "Bid Leveling", you can see your proposal. It is uniquely colored blue and shaded to highlight that it is your company's proposal. You can perform the same functions on your proposal like adding notes, plugging in new numbers, and coloring the cells. 

Note: It will always be the left-most proposal no matter how you sort so that you always have it in an easy place to review against other proposals. 



Under "Bidders", you will be listed in the bidder list.
