Step 4: Connect with stakeholders
Small Business Network®
The Bid Express Small Business Network® allows prime contractors and subcontractors to exchange sub-quotes and communicate about proposals within the Bidx.com site. Unlimited sub-quotes can be posted, and outstanding sub-quote requests can be viewed at a glance.
Plan holders
When an agency chooses to make their plan holders list public, you can see who is a plan holder and who is eligible to bid on a proposal of interest to you. Use this information to connect and do business with potential prime bidders.
