Choose Bid and BotBid builds the plan: the steps to get the bid in, who does each one and the date to act by. Documents, addenda, buyer questions and the requirements matrix live with the plan, so a change in the solicitation changes the work.
Steps by phase for each bid type and delivery method, counted back from the buyer’s deadline.
A step that depends on another stays locked, with the reason shown.
New versions are compared, changes are summarized and moved dates are proposed for the plan.
Must-haves with proof and owners. Unmet must-haves hold the Ready step.
When the buyer posts an addendum, BotBid compares the versions and lists every date that moved or would move. Apply the new dates, keep yours, or acknowledge and move on.
The matrix lists each requirement by category, whether it is a must, its status, proof and owner. Company facts that fit offer a one-click “Met by”.
BotBid prepares, checks and records. These decisions stay with the people you name.
