The evidence.
The fit.
The decision.

Switch between Public and Projects. These fictional scenarios show why a published bid can merit a conditional pursuit while an early private project should remain on watch.

In a real Relay

We include the source links and review date, the requirements or project facts we checked, the fit assessment and a recommendation with its reason.

When a detail is missing

We hold the opportunity on Watch when a material buying detail cannot be established. A deeper investigation can be scoped separately.

These are fictional decision scenarios. They are not active bids, completed customer work or claims that a project has an open trade package.

CONTRACTRELAY PUBLIC

Municipal HVAC maintenance

Example contractor: commercial HVAC service in the buyer’s area

RESEARCH DECISIONPURSUE, CONDITIONALLY

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.
  • Identified which instructions need action before the team spends time pricing.

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.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

ContractRelay supplies the visit and submission instructions. The contractor reserves and attends the visit, then confirms its own capacity before estimating.

Fictional example of a decision brief, not a live project or customer result. A real Relay identifies the source documents, review date, specific facts checked and the reason for its recommendation. We do not present an unverified trade package as available work.
