Step 1: Open the Quote Request and Review the Details
Start by opening the quote request and reading all the provided information. This can be done by:
Clicking "Review Quote Request" in the Quote Request email you would have received
Logging into VendorPM, and clicking on the quote request from either the Home or Quote Requests tab.
From there, you can review key details such as service category, location, submission deadline, and scope of work and decide whether this is a project you want to quote on.
Step 2: Accept or Decline the Invitation
After reviewing the details, decide if this is a project you can realistically quote for. You’ll need to accept or decline the request accordingly.
Step 3: Contact the Property Manager
If you accept the invitation, you’ll gain access to all the project information, which includes the property manager’s contact details. Reach out to the PM using their preferred method, introduce yourself, arrange a site visit if needed, or ask any questions you may have about the project.
Step 4: Submit a Quote
When you're ready, you can submit a quote by clicking "Submit quote" on the quote request.
From there, you'll be prompted to:
Enter your total price (before tax)
You can also provide an itemized breakdown by adding different line items for different services and/or products.
Provide documentation to support your bid (such as a bid package)
Leave a comment for the property manager (optional)
Click "Submit Quote", and you're on your way to win your first job on VendorPM!
