RFQS AND BID COMPARISON

Send one clear request. Compare every response in one place.

Build a structured facility scope, invite current or new providers, organize questions, compare price and terms side by side, and preserve the decision from request through award.

Structured RFQ comparison table with provider pricing, response time, availability, and score
BETTER INPUT CREATES BETTER BIDS

Give providers enough information to price the same job.

A structured scope reduces assumptions, unnecessary site visits, missing line items, provider questions, and change-order risk.

NORMALIZED BID COMPARISON

Compare the full offer, not only the total.

The lowest total may not be the lowest-risk or best-value response. Compare completeness, timing, warranty, documents, experience, and operational fit alongside price.

FAQ

Common questions

Can I invite providers that are not already on FacilitatorIQ?

Yes. Facility teams should be able to invite any provider by email. The provider can respond through a secure flow and optionally claim a free profile.

Do providers see each others bids?

No. Provider responses must remain private to the facility organization unless the facility explicitly chooses another permitted sharing method.

Does FacilitatorIQ select the winning provider?

No. The facility organization controls evaluation, negotiation, selection, and award decisions.
