Managing Tender Phase Subcontractor Responses

A guide to understanding subcontractor enquiry responses

2 min read

Track your subcontractor responses by heading to the Invitations & Responses page via the Project Dashboard.

When a subcontractor downloads their package or responds to your enquiries, this page will automatically update. You’ll see their intention highlighted in the Quote Status column. Any subbies or suppliers that have indicated that they are not quoting may also nominate a reason for the decline to quote. Hovering over the ‘NQ’ status will reveal their nominated reason.

You can also manually mark off responses from the dropdown menu, accessed by clicking the three dots and then selecting the appropriate option.

The below guide explains the different status icons:

How to resend an enquiry:

If a subcontractor misplaces their email enquiry, you can resend the original by selecting Re-send Download Linkfrom the drop-down menu to the right of the status column.

If a subcontractor misplaces a revision or addendum email, select Re-send revision linkfrom the drop-down menu to the right of the status column to resend the notification email containing a link to download the revised/new documents only.

How to revoke an enquiry

If you’ve accidentally submitted the wrong package to a subbie, or want to withdraw an enquiry, you can revoke the invitation.

Head to the project, then the Invites & Responses tab. Click the three dots next to the relevant company, and select ‘Revoke Invitation’ from the drop down options. You can then send an enquiry for the correct package, or leave the invitee out of the quote process.
