Quote on jobs that match what you do

Customers post complete briefs for the services you offer, in the regions you cover. Each job takes no more than 5 quotes, and every firm prices the same scope.

What you get

Jobs that fit your certification and your patch, described well enough to price.

Jobs matched to you
You only see jobs for the services you are verified for, in the regions you choose. New matching jobs arrive by email and in your dashboard.
Complete briefs
Every job includes the property type, storeys and floor area, answers to service-specific questions such as door or device counts, and any photos, plans or previous reports the customer uploaded.
A short list, not a crowd
Each job closes to new quotes once it has 5. You know how many firms you are up against, and you see the customer’s timescale and budget band before you quote.
Questions before you quote
Message the customer about access, scope or drawings before you put a price in, and revise your quote while the job is open.
The address when you win
The site address, site contact and access notes are released to you as soon as the customer accepts your quote, so you can book the work straight away.
Reviews you can trust
Only a customer who awarded you a job through FireBid can review you, and only once the work is marked complete.

What you need to join

The same checks apply to every vendor, whatever their size.

How quoting works

Customers compare quotes side by side, so a clear, complete quote does a lot of the selling for you.

  • A fixed price

    Quote the price excluding VAT, with optional line items. VAT is added and shown separately to the customer.

  • Dates and duration

    Give your earliest start date, how long the work takes and how long the price is valid for.

  • What is included

    Say what the price covers, such as the report, certificates or follow-up visits, and anything excluded.

  • Revise or withdraw

    Change your quote while the job is open, or withdraw it if your availability changes.

Vendor questions

Talk to us about joining: [email protected]

Which areas can I cover?
Choose any of the twelve UK regions. You can change them at any time, and you only see jobs in the regions you choose.
Can I offer services I am not certified for?
No. Each service on your profile must be backed by relevant certification or, for fire risk assessments, a registered assessor. We check this before you are verified.
Do I have to quote on every job I see?
No. Quote on the jobs you want. Customers only see the quotes that are submitted.
What happens when my insurance renews?
Upload the new certificate before the old one expires. If it lapses, quoting is paused until we have checked the renewal.
How do customers pay?
Customers pay you directly, on the terms set out in your quote. Agree any change to the scope with the customer in writing.
Can I see the customer’s address before quoting?
You see the town and first half of the postcode, plus the full brief. The address and contact details are released when the customer accepts your quote.
