How to indicate if a bid was won or lost

As a subcontractor using BuildingConnected, your Bid Board allows you to keep track of your bids in a single place. This robust tool lets you accept, decline and submit bids directly to a general contractor who can then award the bid through BuildingConnected. This article explains how to determine if you won or lost a bid.

How do I know if I won or lost a bid?

General contractors will send a message letting you know whether or not you won the bid. You can then update your bid details to reflect this status.

To indicate whether a bid was won or lost 

Start from the bid’s “Overview” tab. Click on the drop-down menu located next to “Status.”

Select “Change Status” from the list.

Click on the drop-down menu in the window that appears and select the appropriate status. 

Click “Save.”

You will immediately see the status update in the “Overview” tab.

Alternatively, you can indicate whether you won or lost a bid by clicking on “Set Outcome” from the bid “Overview” tab.

Click on the outcome you want to set and then click on “Save.”

You will have the opportunity to add notes before your changes are actually applied. These notes are for internal use only and are not visible to the general contractor. If notes are added, click “Save” otherwise click on “Skip.”

You will immediately see the status update in the “Overview” tab.
