How it works
You run your business. Put opportunity on your radar.
A useful alert starts with a clear picture of the work you want. We’ll help you build that picture, then turn it into a watchlist you can use every week.
01 · Define your watchlist
Start with what makes a contract right for you.
Add the questions you ask before every bid. Does the scope include audiovisual system infrastructure? Will construction take place in an occupied facility? AcornBids looks for the answers, even when the relevant requirement is buried in an attachment.
Review the answers, filter for the work that fits, and save your watchlist before enabling alerts.
02 · Turn on your alert
Choose when opportunity reaches your inbox.
From a saved search, choose Create Alert. Give it a name, then choose daily or weekly delivery.
New matching opportunities arrive by email with answers to your saved questions, so you can see which ones deserve a closer look.
03 · Review the details
See why it matters. Decide what comes next.
Read the answers, open the supporting passage, and check the current solicitation. Keep unknown requirements on your review list.
In this facility construction example, the project summary requires work around active tenants. That is a specific delivery constraint your team can plan for before deciding to bid.
04 · Stay connected
Keep watch as the opportunity develops.
Follow a notice you’re considering for updates such as amendments and deadline changes. Add the opportunity to your pipeline, record your notes, and keep your team’s next step clear.
