Submit a Bid on Behalf of a Bidder

Objective

To submit a bid on behalf of a bidder in the Bidding tool.

Things to Consider

 Tip
Invited bidders have the option to submit their bid by replying to the bid invitation email with an attachment, as an alternative to logging in to Procore's Planroom tool. See Submit a Bid. This automatically updates their bid status in the Bidding tool to 'Submitted' and you can view their attachment on their response page. See Can bidders submit their bid via email or must they sign in? and Review Submitted Bids.
