Subcontractor Bidding & Bid Leveling

Publish a trade scope, invite subs to bid through a private link, and compare every bid apples-to-apples. Award the winner and manage the subcontract — e-signature, payments, and margin — without a spreadsheet in sight.

Stop Leveling Sub Bids in a Spreadsheet

Bidding out a trade usually means emailing a set of plans, collecting a pile of PDFs and text messages back, and then squinting at wildly different formats to figure out who is actually cheapest — while a "low" number often just means the sub quoted less work. Meanwhile the certificates of insurance are somewhere in your inbox and the whole thing lives in your head.

FieldFuze runs the entire process on the job. You publish a package with a fixed scope, invite subs from your roster or by email, and each one bids through a private link with no account required. Their prices stack into a leveling table that compares the exact same scope line by line, with compliance badges right on each column. Award the winner and FieldFuze turns it into a subcontract — e-signature, progress payments with retainage and lien waivers, an on-site schedule, and a live projected margin for the job.

It is the kind of subcontractor bidding most field service platforms simply do not have. See the step-by-step walkthrough in the Subcontractor Bidding guide.

What You Get

Everything to bid out a trade, compare fairly, and manage the sub — in one place.

Scoped Bid Packages

Define the scope line items once, and every sub prices those same rows. Set a deadline, add plans and specs, and turn on sealed bidding to keep amounts hidden until it closes. Run several trade packages on the same job.

Private Bid Links — No Account

Invite subs from your compliance-badged roster or by email. Each gets a private link and bids with no FieldFuze login, no password, and no friction — so you get more bids back, faster.

Apples-to-Apples Bid Leveling

Bids stack into a leveling table — scope rows by sub, a bold total row with the lowest highlighted, and a compliance badge for insurance and license on every column. Answer questions once and share the addendum to all bidders.

Award to Subcontract

Award in a click to create the subcontract: send it for e-signature, log progress payments with retainage and lien waivers, set the on-site schedule, approve sub change orders, and watch a live projected margin.

Common Questions

Subcontractor bidding software lets a general contractor publish a trade scope, invite subcontractors to bid on it, and compare every bid side by side. FieldFuze runs the whole process on the job: subs bid through a private link with no account, bids line up apples-to-apples on a leveling table, and the winning bid becomes a subcontract you can e-sign, pay, and track.

No. Each invited sub gets a private, tokenized link that opens a standalone bid page. They price your scope and submit with no login, no password, and no FieldFuze account — so there is nothing standing between them and a fast bid.

You define the scope line items once, and every sub prices those same rows. Their bids stack into a leveling table — scope rows down the side, one column per sub, a bold total row with the lowest highlighted, and a compliance badge per sub for insurance and license. Optional sealed bidding keeps amounts hidden until the deadline.

Awarding creates a subcontract you can send for e-signature. From there you track progress payments with retainage and lien waivers, set the sub's on-site schedule, handle sub change-order requests, and watch a live projected margin for the job — all in one place.
