If this is how you work today...
Collecting and comparing bids usually ends up spread across files, emails and phone calls that are hard to track.
Multiple Excel versions
The same tender ends up in different files and it is not always clear which one is the latest.
Constant calls and reminders
You chase bids by email and phone, while progress is tracked manually.
Hard to evaluate bids
Comparison is done by hand and it is difficult to know whether a bid is genuinely competitive.
Everything you need to run a tender.
From budget to final award, all the information stays in one place.
Budgets
Build itemised budgets and turn them into a comparative with one click.
Bid comparatives
See every bid side by side and compare prices per contractor and per line item.
No account needed
Contractors open the magic link, fill in their bid and submit it without registering.
Indicative market prices
Compare bids against indicative construction material prices before you decide.
Control and history
Follow approvals, changes and decisions through a single activity history.

Frequently asked questions
Do contractors need an account?
No. Contractors receive a secure magic link and submit their bid directly from the browser.
What are indicative market prices?
They are informational price hints for selected construction materials. They are used as an additional reference point, not as a binding commercial offer.
How does the free trial work?
You get access to ARC Procurement for 30 days with no credit card required. To continue after the trial ends, you choose one of the available plans.
Does ARC Procurement replace our ERP?
Not necessarily. ARC is a focused tool for budgets, comparatives, bids and contractor collaboration. It can work on its own or alongside the rest of your systems.
How do I get started?
You create an account, add your first project and build your first budget or comparative.
Can I import an existing Excel file?
Yes. You can upload an existing Excel file, review and correct the data before the final import, and continue the process inside ARC.
