How RFQsNow works for contractors, consultants and developers

01

Upload your RFQ or BOQ

Create a structured RFQ with line items, quantities, specs, and deadlines. Attach PDF drawings, CAD files, or Excel BOQs directly.

02

Matched suppliers are notified

Suppliers verified in your category and geography receive instant notifications. No broadcast spam — only relevant, capable suppliers.

03

Compare bids in one dashboard

Every bid arrives in a standard format. Compare unit price, total price, lead time, and compliance notes side by side.

Get multiple qualified bids in 18 to 48 hours

Reduce sourcing time by 60–80%

Stop chasing quotes across WhatsApp and email. Suppliers come to you with structured, comparable submissions.

Eliminate manual follow-ups

Every supplier action is tracked. You see who has viewed, who is drafting, and who has submitted in real time.

Standardized bid comparison

Every bid follows the same format — unit price, total cost, lead time, compliance. No reformatting spreadsheets.

Full audit trail

Every RFQ, bid, message, and award decision is recorded. Export-ready for project documentation and compliance.

Run public, private or invite-only RFQs

Full control over who sees your procurement requirements. Run an open RFQ to discover new suppliers, a private RFQ for confidential projects, or an invite-only RFQ to shortlist specific companies you want to compete for the work.

Compare price, lead time and compliance in one dashboard

Every bid arrives in a structured format. For each line item you see the supplier name, unit price, total cost, lead time in days, and any compliance notes or certifications. Sort by price, filter by lead time, and accept or reject individual bids with one click.

Accepted suppliers receive instant notification. Rejected suppliers receive a professional response. The entire award process is documented automatically.
