Private commercial projects do not appear on public bid boards, so suppliers often never hear about them. DataBid covers private commercial work and publishes the bidders on each project, so suppliers can see which general contractors are actively bidding, quote the companies that will actually buy, and build relationships with the GCs who win in their market.
A large share of commercial construction is bid privately. The owner or developer invites a short list of general contractors, and those GCs invite their preferred subs and suppliers. If you are not already on the list, you may never know the project existed. DataBid covers private commercial projects and shows the companies involved, so suppliers can see the work while there is still time to get a quote in.
On a private project, the bidders list is short and every company on it is a real buyer. Sending your pricing to those GCs puts your number in front of the people deciding, instead of cold calling contractors who are not on the job. DataBid shows bidders and plan holders on covered projects as they are added, so you can reach out while the GC is still building its supplier list.
Bid results turn one project into a pattern. When you can see which GCs bid and win private work in your product categories and region, you know exactly who is worth a relationship. DataBid publishes bid results within 24 hours of closing on covered projects, so your preferred GC list is based on who actually wins, not who answers the phone.

Start free trialPrivate projects are not posted on public bid boards, so suppliers need a project tracking service that covers private work. DataBid tracks private commercial projects and shows the companies bidding them, so suppliers can get a quote in before the GC finalizes its supplier list.
Project tracking platforms like DataBid publish bidders and plan holders on covered commercial projects along with bid results. That shows suppliers which general contractors are actively bidding and winning work in their product categories and region.
Public projects post bid information openly. Private projects are bid by invitation, so the bidders list is only visible to the companies involved or through a tracking service that covers private work.
As early as possible. GCs build their supplier lists while they are still pricing the job, so reaching out when the project first appears gives you the best chance of being quoted.
