The demand for performing work digitally is increasing, so the days of doing manual bidding, written payment certificates and hand-signed documents are a thing of the past. To catch up with this demand, it’s important to choose a bidding software that correlates with your company’s needs. There are many options for e-tendering software platforms, so it can be challenging to make a decision. Here’s how ContractComplete is revolutionizing construction contract admin for unit price contracts.
1. Streamlining the Bidding Process
Are you a prime consultant responsible for facilitating bids on behalf of your client? If so, there are many challenges to be faced.
With ContractComplete’s construction software, we aim to simplify and organize the bidding process, so our platform only allows compliant and complete bids to be submitted, making the negotiation and award process simple and fair!
Utilize our bidders checklist so you know bidders are aware of what is happening throughout the project.
2. Collaboration Capabilities in Construction Contract Admin
Essential aspects of construction contract admin include, for example:
- changing the scope of work
- signing documents
- updating specs
- issuing payment certificates
- RFIs so everyone understands the project
- Submittals so you can avoid redoing work
But these tasks can introduce mistakes.
With ContractComplete, all stakeholders can easily collaborate with automation and user preferences, so users receive real-time updates and tools to prevent incorrect or missing steps.
3. Tabulating Bids and Levelling
Tabulating bids and levelling is essential but often tedious. It can take hours and even on some projects, days to properly complete.
With ContractComplete, bid tabulations are instantly available at the deadline and they are accurate! (Consultants can control if incomplete bids are eligible for submission or not).
4. Electronic Forms and Signatures
Compiled paperwork only to realize you’re missing important signatures? This small mistake can be time consuming, but we have a solution!
In the interest of transforming the digital landscape, ContractComplete keeps the entire bidding process digital. For example, PDF forms can be signed electronically and submitted within the bids.
5. Viewing Bidder Engagement and Editing Intent to Bid
Curious about how bidders are engaging? With ContractComplete’s bidding software, you see how engaged bidders are during the tendering process. Our software allows access to see:
- whether or not they’ve signed up
- whether or not they intend to bid
- how many documents they’ve downloaded
- how many addenda they’ve acknowledged.

It’s very interesting that you can give yourself such a complete overview of the bidding process. I actually didn’t even know that it was possible to gather so much information from it.
Pretty! This was a really wonderful post. Thank you for providing such valuable information.
