Cloud-based and easy to integrate
Bid Locker creates a permanent digital record where every bid is stored securely and easily accessed for as long as you use the service, with an audit trail always ready.
Unlimited records and document storage
There are no limits on document storage or number of records you can store, and we’ll never remove your data or charge you for more storage.
Unbeatable Affordability
Affordability is a top priority for us. In a time where budgets are tighter than they’ve ever been, we know how important it is for agencies to save money. We want to help make your job easier with intuitive solicitation tools, at a price any agency can afford. Our pricing is simple, with a fixed cost based on your use, and with no surprise fees.
And there is no cost to vendors,
ever.
