4. How to Post or Bid for Private Tenders (Contracts)?
The procedure for posting a contract or bidding on an existing one is entirely different. So, to bid for a tender, you will need to create an account on BidAssist. You can, then, search for a specific offer and make your claim on it through bidding.
If you have an SME, be sure to use our sorting system to your advantage. For instance, most of the low-amount contracts are ideal for beginners, as they have a requirement of low labour. You can also check out the contract period in “tender details” to have an idea about it. If a tender comes with a substantial contract period, it might require more manpower than usual.
Posting a contract on BidAssist usually requires you to log in to your account and upload details on your organization on the website. After you become verified by the website, you can, then, post your tender and add your own requirements.
Be sure to fill up details like contract period, tender amount, need for the number of laborers, etc. This way, it will be easier for our clients to find you out amongst the crowd.
