PlanetBids’ Bid Management module is the most complete web based system on the market today. Procurement agents can quickly manage the process of issuing, monitoring, conducting evaluations, and awarding formal and informal bids. More importantly, the PB System™ can handle construction and public works projects – a feature unique to the eProcurement industry. Vendors can interactively search, view, and respond to bid opportunities securely over the Internet.

The Contract Management module, when paired with the Vendor Management module of the PB System™, enables contract administrators, procurement and public works to maintain and retrieve up-to-date relevant information regarding contracts greatly reducing the need to search through endless documents. This module can be deployed departmentally or across an entire organization.

The Insurance Certificate Management module enables risk managers, procurement, public works, and contract administrators to automate, maintain and retrieve up-to-date relevant information regarding vendor or contractor insurance certificates. Paired with My Insurance, agencies and vendors can conduct all insurance related tasks within the PB System™. The Insurance Certificate Management module can be deployed departmentally or across an entire organization.

The Business Certification module enables an organization to manage their certification programs such as Small Business Enterprise, Minority, or Diversity as well as Contractor Prequalification(s). Agencies can manage, maintain and retrieve up-to-date information on vendor certifications and prequalifications. Registered vendors have access to viewing certified/prequalified vendors for potential subcontracting opportunities. The Business Certification Management module can be integrated with our Bid Management module for even greater control and reporting.

The Emergency Operations module enables any organization to manage, maintain and retrieve up-to-date information on vendors that provide goods and services in the event of an emergency. As a valuable addition to the existing Vendor module of the PB System™, this module can be deployed departmentally or across an entire organization.

Evaluation Management is offered as an add-on to the Bid Management module of the PB System™ or as a standalone feature enabling an organization to interactively conduct the evaluation process entirely online. It allows the buying officer and the evaluation committee to fairly assess a bidder’s ability to effectively execute a contract and identify the best proposal. Buying officers can assign evaluators, set evaluation criteria, attach related documents, build scoring measures, communicate with evaluators, qualify and recommend the most responsive bidder. Technical qualifications, proposal, cost, preference and presentation can be evaluated objectively, documenting the entire decision making process.

Bid Spec Library offers access to thousands of projects conducted by PlanetBids agencies. It reduces the time spent researching and collecting information, assists in writing bid specifications and finding partners for bidding events.
