Architects and Engineers – Focus on Design, Not Bidding

Architects and Engineers are routinely seeking ways to remain competitive, all while providing exceptional service to their clients. PennBid provides a level of efficiency that can’t be beat. With PennBid providing significant time and cost saving, your firm can focus on what you do best – designing and building projects – while passing savings on to your clients.

Forget subscription-based services or developing your own system. With a unique business model developed through a public-private collaboration, PennBid is provided to all design firms posting and managing bids at NO COST.

Tiered Access & Permission Roles

For larger organizations or those wishing to separate departmental access to specified bids, PennBid offers a Tiered Access structure that allows each agency to customize their organizational use of the program. Further, with numerous permission roles ranging from “Read Only” to a “Controller” role that limits bid opening to dedicated personnel, PennBid can be configured to meet any organization’s needs.
