Where to goPrivate bid invitation › Enter Bid WorkspaceOpen ScrubPlan

Before you begin

  • A valid private invitation link
  • Access to the email address that received the invitation

Step-by-step

Follow these steps

  1. Open the private invitation

    Use the secure link in the bid invitation. If the link or invitation token is unavailable, contact the project team.

    Do not forward the link outside your company unless the project team instructs you to do so.

  2. Confirm your company and contact

    Confirm that you represent the invited company, or choose the option to enter a different company and provide its name.

    Enter your name, email, and phone. Invite-only projects require the email address that received the invitation.

    SMS and automated-call consent options are separate, optional, and not required to submit a bid. Accept the Terms and Privacy Policy to enable Enter Bid Workspace.

  3. Accept an NDA when required

    Open and read the current NDA, then accept it to continue.

    ScrubPlan does not return project files or scope before the required NDA is accepted. Contact the project team if the NDA is unavailable.

  4. Set your bidding status

    Choose Bidding, Not Bidding, or Not Sure. Provide a decline reason when prompted.

    After access is granted, open the bid submission form from the workspace.

  5. Enter pricing and alternates

    Complete Enter Base Bid Here and every requested alternate.

    Use Additional Alternates to add voluntary alternates that were not requested by the project team.

  6. Answer every scope question

    Complete Additional Scope, Project Specific Scope, Default Trade Inclusions, General Acknowledgements, and General Bid Requirements.

    Every required scope question and acknowledgement must have an answer before the bid can be sent.

    When the publisher included scope locations, select View the location of this scope or View Document to inspect its source.

  7. Complete Quote Review when enabled

    The Quote Review section appears only when the project team enabled it. Upload the requested PDF, Word, Excel, CSV, or text quote.

    Preview and Send stays disabled while Quote Review is preparing or in progress.

    For each comparison row, enter a clarification or select I have this scope covered…not a discrepancy. Uploading a revised quote replaces the current review.

  8. Add final comments and preview

    Enter Bidder Comments when needed (up to 8,000 characters).

    Select Preview Your Bid and verify the base bid, alternates, comments, and scope confirmations.

  9. Send or revise the bid

    Select Send Bid. The button remains unavailable until all required questions are answered and any enabled quote review is complete.

    After submission, the form locks. To make a change, select Need to revise? click here, edit the bid, choose Preview Revised Bid, and select Send Revised Bid.
