The engine of proactive stewardship.
Elegant in its simplicity, Simplebid®: a job order contracting (JOC) platform built by construction and estimating professionals, for owners, facility managers and contractors. Bring speed, certainty and clarity to your construction procurement.
Built from experience, not just code.
It started with a simple idea: Procurement should support the mission of a building, not hinder it.
Our founders saw the need for a tool that could handle the complexities of construction procurement while remaining intuitive for the people doing the work. Simplebid is the culmination of that vision: a platform developed by cost estimators and facility experts with centuries of combined JOC experience who have helped drive more than $2 billion worth of construction volume through the software.
Simplebid isn’t just a software platform; it’s the digital foundation of a successful JOC program. Born out of a need for transparency and accountability in facility stewardship, Simplebid centralizes every stage of the procurement lifecycle, from localized cost estimating to project closeout. Simplebid is designed to help you move faster without losing the oversight your projects require.
Everything you need to lead with confidence.
Simplebid provides a single source of truth for your entire JOC program, ensuring that every project — from routine repairs to capital improvements — is defensible and transparent.
Access your localized, assembly-based Unit Price Book (UPB) in a clean, searchable interface. No more digging through PDFs or outdated spreadsheets.
Build accurate estimates using real-world cost data. Contractors can submit adjustment factors and proposals directly through the platform for your review.
Simplify the ‘back-office’ of construction. Manage and track spend against budgets and generate program-wide reports with a single click.
Move from identified need to Notice to Proceed in days. Our automated workflows handle approvals and documentation so you can focus on the project, not the paperwork.
Track progress with automated audit trails and complete work order histories. Simplebid keeps you audit-ready by capturing every decision and document in one place.
Need a specialty item not in the UPB? Our integrated workflow allows you to request new items and receive accurate, approved pricing, typically within one week.
