How to bid on notices like these
- Read the whole notice first: the due date and time, how to submit, and whether a pre-bid meeting or site visit is required.
- Check you qualify: registration with the buyer, licences, insurance, bonding, and any small-business or local preference.
- Ask questions before the question deadline; the answers usually go to every bidder.
- Price the whole scope and include every form the notice asks for. A missing form or signature can disqualify a bid.
- Submit early. Portals slow down near a deadline, and late bids are normally rejected.
For facilities & janitorial: If the notice offers a site visit, take it: square footage, floor types and how often the space is cleaned drive the price.
