Bid Follow-Up Call Script
Construction | Call script

Use this when: You've submitted a bid and want to learn where it stands without sounding pushy.

Opening
"Hi [name], it's [your name] from [company]. We submitted on [project] on [date]. Do you have a minute?"

Questions
- "Did you get everything you needed from our submission?"
- "Is there any part of our scope you'd want clarified?"
- "When do you expect to decide, and what's the next step?"
- "What matters most on this job: schedule, price or something else?"

If you're not the low bid
"Understood. Is there a scope difference we should look at, or a value option you'd like us to price?"

If you lost
"Thanks for telling us. What would have made our bid stronger? We'd like to be on your list for [next type of job]."

Close
Confirm what you heard by email the same day.

Before you use this: On public tenders, follow the procurement rules. Many ban contact outside the named contact during the bid period.
