Bid documents
The bid documents posted for each opportunity provide the information you need to submit a valid response for evaluation, as each bid document is unique to each opportunity.
If you're submitting a bid response, please check BC Bid regularly for any addenda, amendments, or Q&As we may post in addition to the original bid documents. These may be posted up to the time of the bid closing.
When preparing your bid response, be sure to follow the format requested in the bid documents. This will help ensure your submission is valid.
Submitting your bid
Bid documents always list the closing date and time for submissions, and explain when, where, and how to submit your bid.
