Open Opportunities

Sometimes you don't want to wait for a general contractor to send you an invitation to bid. Instead, you may want to reach out to them. That's when the Open Opportunities page is particularly useful.

It includes open opportunities that general contractors have made publicly visible to subcontractors. You can view open opportunities by project, which is the default view, or by bid package for a more granular view.

You can filter open opportunities by location, project value, and project category to show the opportunities where your organization can really shine. Just select Filters to change the criteria the application uses to build your open opportunity list. Reorder opportunities and resize column width to fit your preference.

Premium Feature

Subcontractors with Premium access can see whether an opportunity is part of a project that has already been awarded to the general contractor.

For example, let's say an open opportunity covers plumbing in a new office building. Knowing that the overall office building project has already been awarded to the general contractor could make the opportunity for the plumbing work more valuable to the subcontractor. With Premium access, the subcontractor can see this information and plan their proposal accordingly.

If you are a subcontractor who does not have Premium access, the Awarded Status field displays Lock with no information.

Another perk for subcontractors with Premium access is the ability to view bid history with an organization or general contractor who invited you to bid on a project.

For example, you might be curious to see how many times you've bid for an opportunity with the same organization, how many times you've received an invitation to bid, or what your quote rate is. This information is useful if you'd like to improve your rating with a general contractor and open yourself up to more opportunities.
