How it works
From setup to award in hours, not months
01
Create your org
Sign up, name your organization, set your type (buyer, seller, or both), and invite your team. Assign roles — admin, specialist, or supporting user. Done in minutes.
02
Configure your workflow
Set up approval groups for solicitation publishing and award decisions. Define who needs to sign off and in what order. No consultant. Just a settings page.
03
Post or browse
Buyers post solicitations — public or private, sealed or open, with documents and a timeline. Sellers browse, follow buyer orgs, and submit structured bids before the deadline.
04
Evaluate + award
Buyers score bids using configurable scoring forms, compare side-by-side, route the award for approval, and publish the result to the public vendor portal.
Platform features
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
BidBoard ships with a complete procurement toolset. No add-on modules, no feature tiers that hide core functionality, no per-feature billing surprises.
Sealed Bids
Set an unseal date and time. Bids remain fully confidential until that moment — no manual override possible, no early peek.
Approval Routing
Multi-step approval chains for publishing solicitations and issuing awards. Each group approves or rejects in order, with notes.
Bid Evaluation
Assign evaluators to solicitations. Score bids on configurable criteria with weighted scoring. View results side-by-side.
Scoring Forms
Build response sheets with questions, pricing line items, and required document uploads. Every bid answers the same structure.
Commodity Codes
Tag every solicitation with NIGP commodity codes. Sellers filter by their specialty. Buyers reach the right vendor pool automatically.
Solicitation Templates
Save templates for repeatable procurement categories. Pre-fill descriptions, commodity codes, contacts, and response sheet structure.
Public Vendor Portal
Every buyer org gets a branded public site. Post announcements, list active solicitations, share working instructions, and publish award results.
Team Roles
Admin, Specialist, and Supporting User roles with appropriate access. Org-level and solicitation-level permissions.
Follows & Alerts
Sellers follow buyer orgs and individual solicitations. Get notified when a followed org posts new opportunities.
Timeline Events
Attach key dates to solicitations — pre-bid conferences, site visits, Q&A deadlines — visible to vendors on the public portal.
Document Management
Attach documents to solicitations, announcements, and bids. Vendors download specs directly. Bid attachments are stored per submission.
Private Solicitations
Limit visibility to an invite list. Send invites to specific vendors. Only invited vendors see and can respond to private solicitations.
No consultants. No onboarding calls. No waiting.
Your team sets it up. Today.
BidBoard was designed to be configured by the people who actually do procurement — not by a vendor implementation team. Every setting, approval workflow, template, and vendor portal is managed directly through the app by your admin. No tickets. No waiting. No surprise change orders.
Create your organization and invite your team
Set up your approval groups and routing rules
Configure your public vendor portal and branding
Create a solicitation template and post your first bid
Admin-managed everything
Approval groups, org settings, team roles, vendor portal content — all configured by your admin in a clean settings UI. No support ticket required.
Transparent, predictable pricing
No implementation fees. No per-solicitation charges. No seat-based price cliffs. Know exactly what you pay before you sign up.
Your data, your control
Export your solicitation history, bid records, and evaluation data at any time. No migration fees when you want to leave.
Built-in help, not a helpdesk queue
Every feature is documented in-app. If something's unclear, support is a message away — not a scheduled call three weeks out.
How we compare
A different approach to eProcurement
Most eProcurement platforms — Bonfire, IonWave, DemandStar — were built for large enterprise procurement offices with dedicated IT staff and large software budgets. BidBoard takes a different approach: full-featured, self-service, and priced for teams of all sizes.
Based on publicly available information. Competitor features and pricing vary by tier and are subject to change.
Ready when you are
Modern procurement starts today — not after a 90-day onboarding
Create your organization, invite your team, and post your first solicitation — all before lunch. No consulting partner. No implementation contract. No surprises.
