A walk through the supplier side of TroyBid, recorded in the product: finding work, answering an invitation, templates, estimating, takeoff, submitting and plans.
Read the transcript
This is TroyBid for suppliers. Government tenders and responding to invitations are free. Everything in this video is sample data.
Government tenders appear in full, free, and a saved search can email you when new ones match. Private projects that buyers post on TroyBid open in full on a plan covering your province.
When a buyer invites you to bid, responding is always free, with or without a plan. The scope, documents and requirements are all in one place.
Open your proposal and start from one of your templates. Before anything changes, TroyBid shows what it will add: your standard sections, terms and bid lines.
Your cost library keeps your company's rates. In the estimate, add labour, material and equipment from it to each line, set contingency, overhead and profit, and TroyBid works out a suggested unit rate.
Measure right on the buyer's drawings. On the Professional plan and up, box one door and choose Find similar, and TroyBid suggests the others for you to check. Nothing is counted until you accept it.
Once the proposal is approved, submit it before the closing time. A sealed bid stays unreadable to the buyer until the opening, and you get a receipt that never changes.
Private projects need a plan covering your province. Plans start at the Basic price shown on the pricing page, and you can try Professional free for 14 days, with no card required.

Free
Free for every supplier
No plan needed to follow public work or to answer a buyer who invites you.
Government tenders, in full
Public notices imported from CanadaBuys and the City of Winnipeg, with their documents and closing times, labelled clearly as external.
Alerts for government work
Save a search and TroyBid tells you when a matching government tender is published.
Invitations, always free
When a buyer invites you to bid, you can answer that invitation with or without a plan.
With a plan
Private projects, and the tools to price them
A plan opens the projects buyers post on TroyBid and adds estimating, takeoff and templates.
Private projects
Projects buyers post on TroyBid itself, in the provinces your plan covers: one, up to three, or all of Canada.
Estimating
Price a bid from your own cost library of labour, material and equipment rates, with totals calculated exactly.
Takeoff on drawings
Count and measure directly on the buyer's drawings. On the higher plans, Find similar counts repeated symbols for you to check.
Proposal templates
Start each proposal from a template with your standard scope, exclusions and qualifications.
Sealed submission with a receipt
Your bid is submitted only when the server accepts it before the deadline. You get a receipt that never changes, and the buyer cannot read a sealed bid before the opening.
Plan takers
See who else has taken the documents where the buyer shows it, and list your own company on the higher plans.
What a plan does not change
A plan never buys an advantage in a tender. Every bidder sees the same documents and addenda, the deadline is the same for everyone, and a sealed bid is sealed whatever plan its supplier is on. For an external government tender, the buyer's own instructions decide where the bid is delivered, and TroyBid will not say it was submitted.
