You can also upload any tender document that you may want to include in the tender package. Through the tender app you can send in-app copy of the BOQ to invited bidders and they will have the unpriced BOQ in their Rapisurv account immediately, this will completely save the time and effort they would have spent in data entry for the bill of quantities on their end, they also save the time and effort in estimating because now they can create estimate immediately and process it. And the owner or their consultant can send invitation to bid to non-Rapisurv users and the bidders will be able to submit through the integrated “Bid portal” giving the owner the ability to receive all bid documents and prices in the system and completely eliminating data entry related to bid submission on the part of the receiver too.. 

The bid portal enables invited bidders to submit bidding documents to the tender board of an organization as part of the contract management process. Tenders are stored in the relevant project’s sub-folder. The tender’s portal is part of the Rapisurv tender application allowing the invited tenderers to receive copies of the bill for pricing within Rapisurv and eliminating data entry on the part of the bidders.
