Common questions
Where do I find government bids in Illinois?
Illinois agencies publish solicitations on the state procurement portal and on many separate county, city, school-district, university, transit and utility sites. BiddingSimple watches those sources daily and lists every currently open Illinois bid on this page, free to search, each linking to its original posting with plain-English access steps.
How do I bid on Illinois government contracts?
Open the bid, read the plain-English summary and the notice, then follow the "how to access" steps to the agency's own portal, where you register as a vendor and submit through their process. Check the closing date and time on the bid page and the original posting; most Illinois agencies also require registration on their portal before you can download documents or submit.
What kinds of bids does Illinois post?
Construction and trades, information technology, professional and consulting services, facilities and maintenance, equipment and vehicles, supplies, healthcare, security, transportation, environmental and utility work, education and training, and food service — from state agencies, counties, cities and towns, school districts, universities, and authorities.
Is BiddingSimple free to use?
Searching and a basic account are free. The full aggregated index with daily matched alerts is $19/month for vendors. Government buyers post bids free, or run a complete sealed e-bid for a flat $95.
