Organize tender procedures, invite contractors by email, collect bids online and evaluate them with weighted criteria. One system — from invitation to signed contract.
Emails, Excel sheets and phone calls cannot run a serious construction tender. Without specialized software you lose time, risk omissions and cannot prove transparency to the investor.
Email invitations, bids as attachments, questions over chat, clarifications by phone — no way to track who got what and when. Tender software centralizes all correspondence.
Everyone evaluates bids intuitively. Different people reach different conclusions. Weighted criteria make the process objective and defensible.
Late bid, lost email, expired deadline — one error can cancel the entire tender. Software tracks deadlines automatically and blocks submission past the cutoff.
In dispute or audit you must prove who did what when. Without a centralized system with audit trail — you can't.
Construction Hub covers the full tender lifecycle — from publishing to contract conversion.
Create a tender linked to a specific site with title, description, estimated value, start date, submission deadline and requirements. Sealed bids and revisions configurable by flag.
Select partners from your database or add new ones. System sends email invitations with unique secure tokens. Track who clicked "Participate" and who hasn't.
Participants receive a link and submit bids directly in the system. Each bid has a unique bidNumber and can have versions if allowBidRevisions is enabled.
Define evaluation criteria (price, timeline, experience, guarantees) with weights (0-100%) and max score. System ranks bids by weighted score and provides award recommendation.
Participants ask questions through the platform. You answer — answers are attached to the specific question and participant. Full audit trail.
When selecting a winner, the system provides pre-fill data for a contract. All tender details — value, terms, timeline — carry over to the new contract.
Four steps from tender announcement to signed contract:
Fill essentials — site, description, estimated value, submission deadline, requirements. Define evaluation criteria with weights.
Select contractors from your partner database or add new ones. System sends email invitations with unique secure links. Track who accepted participation and who didn't.
Participants submit bids online. Ask questions, you answer. Before the deadline, monitor received bids and send reminders as needed.
After the deadline, evaluate bids against defined criteria. System provides award recommendation. One click generates a contract for the selected contractor.
Construction Hub is suitable for any organization running construction tender procedures:
You run tenders for general contractors on residential, office or industrial projects. You need objective comparison and procedural traceability.
You run sub-tenders for MEP, HVAC, electrical subcontractors. You must quickly process 10-30 bids and pick the best for each category.
You organize tenders for specialized contractors on behalf of the investor. A professional platform presents the procedure impressively.
When running 5+ tenders per month, manual management is impossible. Centralized software automates invitations, reminders and evaluation.
