Marking Bid Interest in PlanHub

Stay organized and keep general contractors updated by marking your bidding intentions directly on each project. This tutorial walks you through how to indicate if you’re bidding—or not—so you and your GC partners can stay on the same page.

Step 1: Open your Project Finder or Bid Board and locate the project you want to mark as Bidding or Not Interested.

Step 2: Click the project name to view its details.

Step 3: At the bottom right of the project page, find the footer section.

Step 4:

A: If you intend to bid, select Intend to Bid.

Step 4

B: When looking at your Project Finder listing, you can select the Ribbon on any project to show your intent to bid to the GC and add the project to your bid board.

Once you choose Intend to Bid, the general contractor gets notified, and the project is added to your Bid Board.

You’ll also get notifications about project updates, based on your preferences, so you don’t miss critical changes.

Step 1: If you don’t plan to bid, simply mark the project as Not Interested. Do this either in Project Finder using the icon, or within the project page footer.

This lets the general contractor know to expect no bid and keeps your Project Finder uncluttered. Marking Not Interested also stops update notifications for that project.

Step 1: To track active bids and manage your process, visit your Bid Board. All projects you’ve tagged as Intend to Bid live here. Learn more about the Bid Board in this article: Bid Board.

Updating your bidding status regularly gives general contractors a clear view of their coverage and ensures you only see the opportunities that matter most. Review projects as you go, quickly set your bidding intentions, and stay focused on the jobs you’re truly pursuing.
