How do I award a bid received via the Bid Package?

In Contractor Foreman, awarding a bid that has been received via a bid package allows you to finalize which vendor or contractor will be responsible for performing the work associated with that estimate.

To award a bid package, first, navigate to the Estimates Module the Main Menu. Click on the bidding tab, located on the left panel. Then click on the eyeball icon to open the bid package.

Once you have opened the bid package click on the Submissions tab on the left panel. This will take you to the screen where you can award the best bidder. For each bidder listed, there is a drop-down menu below their name. Find the bidder you wish to award the bid to, and click on the drop-down menu below their name. Select Awarded from the list of options.

Once you’ve selected the bidder you want to award, click Save to confirm and apply your changes. This will officially award the bid to the chosen bidder and Contractor Foreman will ask you if you want to update the price of the items based on the bid provided by the bidders.

After the above question, another question will pop up asking if you would you like to send an email to the winning bidder as well as those who lost the bid? Once done, that is the last step of the process of awarding a Vendor or Subcontractor to the bid package.
