PROJECT INTELLIGENCE FOR COMMERCIAL CONTRACTORS
Find the right projects.
Know what’s worth pursuing.
ContractRelay researches commercial projects and public bids for your trade and service area. We review the source material, test the fit for your work, and recommend whether to pursue, watch or pass before your team spends time estimating.
We assess coverage first. A live sample follows when relevant work is found.

CONTRACTRELAY PUBLIC
Municipal HVAC maintenance
Example contractor: commercial HVAC service in the buyer’s area
The advertised work and location fit the example contractor. A required site visit is the gate before estimating.
What ContractRelay checked in this example
- Compared the stated work and location with the contractor profile.
- Pulled the visit requirement, submission route and eligibility items from the example solicitation.
Still outside the evidence
The contractor must confirm crew capacity, credentials and its ability to attend. Those are business facts we cannot infer from a notice.
ContractRelay supplies the visit and submission instructions. The contractor reserves and attends the visit, then confirms its own capacity before estimating.

Open the brief. Check the research.
The job.
The research.
The decision.
We do the first research pass and show the evidence behind a Pursue, Watch or Pass recommendation. Unresolved buying questions stay visible, with a clear reason for holding the project.
Open a sample briefRead the underlying documents
We extract the scope, stage, published requirements, named parties and timing from attributable sources, with links and a review date.
Test the fit and the hard stops
We compare the work with your trade and territory, then identify requirements or gaps that could make an estimate premature.
Recommend pursue, watch or pass
A Watch signal is held when a buying route or trade availability remains unresolved. A Pass explains what ruled it out.
Read the evidence level
Every detail has a status.
The recommendation is only as strong as the underlying evidence. A source-backed fact, an early signal and an unknown carry different weight.
A published fact with a source link and review date, such as the stated scope or bid deadline.
A project signal or reported stage that warrants investigation. It does not establish that your trade package is open.
Information we could not verify, such as who is buying the work or whether a subcontractor has been selected.
From request to decision
A short path to a useful answer.
Describe your work
Give us your trade, service area, company and email. Choose Public, Projects or both.
We research a relevant match
We read the available sources, check fit and material requirements, and say when the evidence is too thin to recommend action.
Get a decision brief
When a relevant opportunity is found, we email a source-linked sample with a Pursue, Watch or Pass rationale. Ongoing work is agreed separately.
What the service does
Research first. A decision next.
The brief should reduce the work your team must do before deciding whether to pursue an opportunity.
Included in the brief
Source review and fit assessment
We read the available source material, cross-check material facts, identify published requirements or disqualifiers, and compare the work with your trade and service area. The result is a reasoned Pursue, Watch or Pass recommendation with evidence.
Scoped separately when needed
Deeper pursuit research
If a decisive detail is missing, we can agree on a targeted investigation: a procurement update, a buying route, a named contractor or a project-specific business inquiry where appropriate. We define the work and price before starting. A private party may not respond, so an unresolved project stays on Watch.
Public bids. Commercial projects.A research service, shaped by your feedback
Know when to move, wait or pass.
Public bids may have firm published instructions. A private project may only be an early signal. ContractRelay does the available research first and explains the decision the evidence supports.
Tell us which details helped and what was missing. That feedback informs the next research brief.
