Subcontractor Bid Solicitation & Comparison
The problem
You've got scope packages for 15+ trades. For each trade you need 3–5 sub bids. That's 50+ bid invitations to manage, dozens of bid responses to review, and the constant risk that a sub's exclusions create a coverage gap you don't catch until it's too late.
How TeraContext.AI handles it
- Build your subcontractor directory — company, contact, and trade tags across 29 standard construction trades.
- Select a scope package, check the subs you want to invite, and click Invite.
- When bids come back, record amounts. For detailed analysis, upload the sub’s bid response document.
- The AI analyzes each response and reports: Coverage % (how much scope they addressed), Exclusions (what they left out), Alternates (different materials or methods proposed), Qualifications (conditions on their bid), and Risk Flags (potential issues).
- Use Compare Bids to see all bids for a package side by side — lowest, highest, average, and spread.
The result
No more manually reading every sub's bid letter to find the buried exclusion on page 3. AI catches the gaps. You compare apples to apples.
