Build a website where businesses bid on customer projects.
Bid Plugin turns WordPress into a job bidding marketplace for contractors, service providers, vendors and remote professionals. Customers post the work; providers compete for the opportunity.

A complete workflow—not another basic job board.
A job board stops after publishing an opportunity. Bid Plugin carries the marketplace through provider outreach, bid submission and project award.
Customers describe the project
Collect the budget, deadline, service, location, photos and answers providers need to prepare a bid.
The owner contacts businesses
Invite matching registered or imported companies to review projects relevant to their services.
Providers submit bids
Businesses respond through the marketplace using open bids or private sealed proposals.
Customers compare offers
Keep project information and provider responses organized in a customer-facing account.
The customer awards the work
Select the preferred provider and reveal protected information according to the owner’s settings.
The owner grows the marketplace
Add services, import businesses and monetize access without giving up the platform or customer relationship.
One bidding engine for many service markets.
Configure Bid Plugin for a single specialty or a multi-service marketplace. Use locations for local work or enable remote projects for freelance services.
Choose the bidding experience your market needs.
Some marketplaces benefit from visible competition. Others need pricing and proposals protected. The owner controls the model.
Open bidding
Use a more transparent process when participants should see bid activity and respond competitively.
Sealed bidding
Keep each provider’s price and proposal private from competing bidders.
Branded marketplace
Present both models using your own name, logo, colors, terminology and support contact.
Job bidding plugin questions
Is this a job board plugin?
It can publish projects, but it goes further than a traditional job board by collecting bids and supporting the award workflow.
Can it work for freelancers?
Yes. Enable remote projects and configure service fields for web design, marketing, writing, consulting or other remote work.
Can the marketplace owner import businesses?
Yes. CSV importing helps seed the provider side and gives the owner businesses to contact when matching projects arrive.
Can customer addresses remain private?
Yes. The owner decides whether street addresses are collected, required or withheld until the appropriate stage.
