Navigating the Tender Noticeboard

A quick guide to navigating the Tender Noticeboard

3 min read

The Tender Noticeboard is where we show all Open, Awarded and Closed projects that have been listed publicly on EstimateOne. It’s the place to go to find new work, and updated project information when the awarded builder is known.

Projects are loaded by tendering builders, and the Noticeboard will default to showing all available publicly listed projects.

You can watch a short video on how to use the Noticeboard below:

There are several ways to look for projects on EstimateOne, and you may use a combination of these methods.

Open Tenders

Using the Search Bar to look for a project by:

  • Project Name
  • Project ID
  • Address
  • Brand or
  • Product
💡
TOP TIP search results have a preview feature, so you can see a snippet of the match from the project documents. Use the drop-down arrow next to the search term match to check this before using credits or viewing/downloading documents for a quick qualification.

Using Filters to narrow down projects by:

  • Budget - this is a range of the total project value, not your trade’s component
  • Trade - you can select multiple options here, for example, if you perform Electrical Services, you may also select CCTV and/or Audiovisual trades
  • Location - the default is a national view. Select one or multiple states here, or a set kilometre radius from your office location
  • Category - we will automatically show all projects, less is more when it comes to filtering here as builders can only nominate one category on a project
  • Interest Level (either Interested, Quoting, Quoted or Not Interested as nominated when adding a project to your Watchlist)

Clicking More Filters to filter by:

  • Time frame of when the project was added to EstimateOne (Added Within)
  • Time frame of when quotes are due (Quotes Due Within)
  • Filter to only show projects that currently have documents available

Check the Contains a keyword box to only show projects where there is a Speci-Finder keyword match

💡
TOP TIP use the ‘View Keywords’ preview within a project to quickly check if the project looks like a good fit before viewing or downloading documents.

Using the Recent Searches option, which will show a dropdown list of the 5 most recent searches made on the noticeboard

Using the Map view to see projects by geographical location

Click on each filter to change it. For example, the Distance filter gives the option to narrow down the project location at a National level, by State/s or by a kilometre radius from your nominated office.

💡
TOP TIP viewing or downloading available documents from all tendering builders alerts a builder to your interest in the project, and is a good way to put your business on the builder’s radar.

You can add projects to your Watchlist from the Noticeboard or from within the Project details, and use the Interest level filter to filter by Watchlist label.
