If your project's Bidding tool has been updated to Bid Management Enhanced Experience, see Add a New Company to the Directory from the Bidding Tool for updated steps.
Instead of having to go to the Company level Directory tool to add companies and contacts for bids, you can add new companies and primary bidding contacts directly from the Bidding tool.
Required User Permissions:
'Admin' level permissions on the project's Bidding tool AND the company's Directory tool.
Additional Information:
Adding a company and contact through this process will NOT add their information to the Project level Directory, only to the Company level Directory.
Adding a contact through this process will NOT send an invitation to Procore email at this step, it will be sent when the invitation to bid email is sent. See Search for and Invite Bidders for more information on how to send a bid invitation email.
