Good questions.
Clear answers.

BotBid is an online service that acts like a bid department for companies that sell to government. It finds public bids that fit you, helps you decide which to chase, plans every step, helps write the package and tracks each bid to award. A person on your team always approves price, signatures and submission.

Small and mid-size companies that bid on public work often, such as paving and construction firms, equipment and supply dealers, software and IT firms, and facilities and service companies. It is built for teams that want to bid more without adding office staff.

A listing site gives you a list of bids. BotBid also explains why each bid fits, builds a step-by-step plan with deadlines, watches for changes, drafts emails and proposal sections, and tracks the bid after you submit.

No. BotBid prepares and checks the package, but a person always gives the final approval and makes the submission. Price, signatures and submissions are always yours.

BotBid helps you find more bids that fit, avoid missed deadlines and paperwork mistakes, and price with better information. We do not promise any result; whether a bid wins is up to the buyer.

Each morning at 7 AM in your own time zone, BotBid sends a short summary of what happened while you slept: new bids found, why they fit and what needs your attention today.

BotBid checks public sources every night, including federal, state, county, city, school and cooperative purchasing portals. You can also forward the bid alert emails you already get, and BotBid will read them.

During setup you tell BotBid what you sell, your industry and commodity codes, where you work, and the size of jobs you want. It scores each new bid against that profile and shows the reasons. When you pass on a bid and say why, it learns from that.

BotBid watches each active bid for addenda and questions and answers. When something changes, it shows what changed, updates dates and steps in your plan, and alerts the right person.

BotBid drafts proposal sections from facts your team has approved, in the order the buyer asks for, and maps each requirement to where it is answered. Your team reviews, edits and approves the final text.

BotBid can show pricing research, such as past results and a suggested range, to help you decide. A person on your team always sets and approves the price.

BotBid sends signature requests to the right signer with the exact pages to sign. A digital signature is only applied within rules the signer has approved in advance, and every use is logged and the signer is told.

No. Each customer's data is walled off from every other customer. Your bids, documents, prices and notes are visible only to people in your own workspace.

Your private documents are not used to train shared AI models. BotBid uses what you upload to help with your own bids.

Portal logins you store in BotBid are kept encrypted. Owners and signers use two-step sign-in with an authenticator app. When a portal needs a person, such as for a security check or a payment, BotBid asks you to step in.
