Before you can submit a bid, you must be Authorized as a bidder. After you have been authorized, you will be given a Bidder Number for future use. This number will allow you to skip the authorization process the next time you bid.
The Bidder Authorization process will begin when you click the Submit Bid button. You will first be asked to select a plan option (1 month or 1 year), confirm your contact information and agree to the Terms and Conditions. The Mandatory fields are in yellow.
The email address and phone number given will be contacted in the next step to confirm they belong to you.
Next, fill in your Credit Card information to pay for your subscription. NOTE: this subscription is valid for any project you bid through PlanSource Online Bidding.
An onscreen receipt will provide details of your credit card purchase. The receipt will also be sent to the email address provided. When you click continue, the verification email and phone call will be activated.
Enter the Phone and Email verification codes into the corresponding fields and click Submit. If you do not receive the codes, or the information you provided is incorrect, use the ‘click here’ links at the bottom of the window.
Once both verification numbers are submitted, you will be given a Bidder Number both onscreen and via email. Make sure you keep this number, you will need it to bid on future projects and to renew your authorization when it expires.
