Opportunity and Bid Assistant

Public projects and procurement notices are scattered, and working out whether one fits your business takes time you may not have.

Use Radar's opportunity information to spot relevant projects and get the facts you need to decide whether to bid.

Photo-to-Estimate is a pilot for members who enter their own price book. You approve, change or reject every estimate, and Radar sends nothing; it opens to each member once the gates on its page have cleared. The other three solutions are still in research and cannot be used yet. None of them has a price yet.

How it is planned to work

  1. Your Radar profile says what work you do and where.
  2. Radar finds projects that may fit and explains why each one showed up.
  3. Each project carries a clear label: Open Opportunity for an advertised solicitation, or Potential Opportunity for something like a planning record.
  4. For the ones you pick, the assistant lists the key dates, requirements and what you may be missing, and links to the source.
  5. You check everything against the official documents, then decide whether to bid. You prepare and submit any bid yourself.

Who it is designed for

  • Contractors and suppliers that bid on public or commercial work
  • Small firms with no one dedicated to finding and reviewing bids

What your business would receive

  • A short list of projects that may fit, with the reasons
  • A plain summary of key dates and requirements for the projects you choose
  • A checklist of what you would need before bidding
  • Links back to the original source

What has been tested

Nothing has been tested yet.

How a pilot would run

  1. You request a consultation, and we aim to reply within two business days.
  2. We talk for 20 to 30 minutes about the work you bid on and how you find it today.
  3. Your Radar profile sets out your trades, places and what you are looking for.
  4. Once every gate below has cleared and pilot terms are signed, projects that may fit start coming to you with reasons.
  5. For the ones you choose, you get key dates, requirements and a checklist. You check the official documents and decide.
  6. We review the results with you for 30 minutes each week over 60 days, then you decide whether to continue.

What must clear first

  • The operator has approved this specific pilot (D-092, decision 2).
  • The business owner has authorized the pilot in writing (D-092, decision 2).
  • Counsel review comes first if the pilot would ever contact anyone on the business's behalf. None is planned (D-092, decision 2).
  • Testing before the pilot uses invented data or consenting internal testers only (D-092, decision 2).
  • An environment for real business data approved by the operator exists (D-151).
  • Opportunity labels follow Radar's matching rules: a planning record is never shown as an open bid (D-101).

What it will never do

  • Send a binding message or make a commitment on your behalf.
  • Set or change a price. Prices come from you.
  • Contact a real customer without you.
  • Submit a bid or sign anything for you.

In the first version

  • You prepare and submit every bid yourself.
  • It works from the public records Radar already collects, so coverage is incomplete.
  • It does not write full bid packets.

Questions owners ask

Can I start using it now?
No. It is still in research, and no business can use it yet. A consultation tells us what would make it worth piloting for you.
Will it submit bids for me?
Never. It helps you decide whether to bid. Preparing and submitting a bid stays with you.
Is every project it shows a real opportunity?
No. An Open Opportunity is an advertised solicitation as of the source's date, and a Potential Opportunity, such as a planning record, may never become one. Always check the official source.
Where do the projects come from?
From public records Radar collects, each with a link to its original source. Coverage of local projects is not complete.
Does it read the bid documents for me?
It summarizes key dates and requirements for projects you choose. You still read the official documents before deciding.
What happens to my business and customer information?
Pilots wait for an environment for real business data approved by the operator (D-151). Until then, testing uses only invented businesses and invented requests.
What does it cost?
There is no price yet. Pilot terms, including any fee, are set by the operator and agreed in writing before anything starts.
Can I stop a pilot?
Yes. How to stop is part of the written pilot terms, and every weekly review is a point to decide whether to continue.

This describes a proposed managed service. No deployment, automated customer contact or outcome is promised. A consultation is an inquiry, not an order.

Request a consultation

Tell us what kind of work you bid on and how you find it today. A consultation is a conversation. It does not sign you up for anything.

Please do not include your customers' names, phone numbers or photos. We use this only to reply to you.
