Objective

How to edit your default project bidding configuration.

Background

When a member of your project team creates a bidding package (see Create a Bid Package), the project's Bidding tool will pull the information for the bid package (such as the Bid Invitation Email, Bid Instructions, and Bid Submission Confirmation Message) from one of three places:

  • Company Level Admin: If your company has set the configuration for the Bidding tool at the Company level, the configuration settings that you define will be used on all new projects. See Set the Default Company Bidding Configuration.
  • Project Level Admin:
    • If you want to edit the configuration settings of a specific project to customize the outgoing emails from the Bidding tool for a specific project office, see the Steps below.
    • If your company has offices operating as subsidiaries of a specific division and you want your company's division information included in outgoing emails from the Bidding tool, send an email to your Procore point of contact to request to enable project office divisions. Then see the Steps below.

Things to Consider
