Subcontractor RFQ & Tendering Software
Three quotes, three formats, one spreadsheet of pain.
Send RFQs built from your actual BOQ lines, so every quote comes back comparable: item by item, exclusions visible, gaps obvious. Level bids side by side against budget, and turn the award into the subcontract without re-keying a line.

Trusted by construction companies of every size, worldwide




























From bill of quantities to signed subcontract, no spreadsheet in between
Subcontractor bid management software makes quotes comparable by sending every RFQ from the same bill of quantities lines, so bids return against identical items with exclusions and scope gaps visible. Archdesk builds RFQs from your BoQs, tracks submissions against deadlines, scores bids against your evaluation criteria, and generates the contract directly from the winning bid.

Scope gaps show up before award
Bids sit side by side on identical BoQ lines, with rate analysis exposing exclusions and missing items while you can still ask the question, not after the subcontract is signed.
The award becomes the contract
The subcontract generates directly from the winning bid, so what was quoted is what gets contracted, without re-keying a line.
Package budgets hold
Every tender is compared against the package budget as bids come in, with variance alerts and over-budget warnings before you commit.
Only qualified subs get the RFQ
Distribution lists come from a database that tracks trades, performance history, insurance and certifications, with compliance verified during the tender.
Live bidding when you want competitive tension
Run e-auctions and live bidding rounds on the same BoQ lines, with automatic scoring against your evaluation criteria, so the pressure stays on price, not on your team.
