ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Class Description:
A successful project begins well before a contract is signed. Whether you’re a multifamily operator sourcing vendors or a supplier competing for business, mastering the bidding process is key to achieving strong results and lasting partnerships. This program explores the full bidding lifecycle—from defining project needs and building clear scopes of work to submitting, evaluating, and awarding proposals. Attendees will gain insight into what both operators and suppliers value, common pitfalls that lead to delays or cost overruns, and proven strategies to improve transparency, communication, and efficiency. By aligning expectations on both sides, participants can reduce risk, control costs, and deliver higher-quality outcomes.

- Apply best practices for bid comparison, leveling, and vendor selection
- Strengthen communication and alignment between operators and suppliers
