Quick answer
Contractor prequalification services from Bidmere turn owner and general contractor questionnaires into organized answers drawn from facts you approve. Subcontractors and general contractors get a master facts sheet, an answer map, an evidence index and an expiry tracker. Work is quoted to scope as a fixed price within 2 business hours.
What do contractor prequalification services include?
They include the facts, the mapping and the tracking. Your company answers, signs and submits.
- Master facts sheet: company facts drawn from your documents, each with its source and date
- Answer map: each question mapped to an approved fact and drafted in the form’s own terms
- Evidence index and gap list: which document supports which answer, and which questions have no approved answer yet
- Expiry tracker: certificates, licenses and statements with their dates, so renewals do not lapse before the next form
How does subcontractor prequalification differ from owner prequalification?
Subcontractor prequalification is run by the general contractor, and owner prequalification is run by the owner or agency. The facts overlap, but the forms and thresholds differ.
A general contractor’s form usually focuses on safety statistics, insurance limits, bonding capacity, financial strength and similar work. A public owner may also ask for sworn statements, CPA-prepared financials or a state qualification certificate. Florida DOT, for example, certifies bidders on larger contracts from a sworn application with CPA-prepared financial statements.
The AIA Contractor’s Qualification Statement (A305), used with the Request for Contractor’s Qualifications (A304), is one standard pairing many private owners use.
What should you send for a prequalification questionnaire?
Send the form and the records behind your answers.
- The questionnaire and any owner instructions or definitions
- Financial statements, the surety letter and insurance certificates
- Safety programs and statistics, licenses and project references
- Approved company facts: ownership, key personnel and experience
- Answers to earlier questionnaires you want reused
- The name of the person who signs or notarizes
Which facts does a prequalification questionnaire ask for?
Most contractor prequalification forms cover the same eight areas. We index your documents against each one.
| Area | Typical evidence | What we track |
|---|---|---|
| Company and ownership | Formation documents, officers | Legal name and entity type |
| Financials | Reviewed or audited statements | Period and preparer |
| Bonding | Surety letter | Single and aggregate capacity, letter date |
| Insurance | Certificates | Limits and expiry |
| Safety | Programs and statistics | Basis each form defines |
| Experience | Project list, references | Contract values and dates |
| Licenses | State and local licenses | Number and expiry |
| Disclosures | Litigation and claims history | Items for attorney review |
When a form defines a term differently, such as how it wants safety rates calculated, the answer map notes the basis the form asks for.

Send a short description of the form and its due date. We reply within 2 business hours with a fixed quote or our questions. After you accept, we build the master facts sheet, map it to the form and hand back the answer map, gap list and expiry tracker. Your team confirms answers, enters them and signs.
Which prequalification answers cause problems?
Inconsistency causes most problems. Reviewers notice when the same fact changes between forms.
- Answers differ between questionnaires for the same fact
- Safety statistics are reported on a different basis than the form defines
- A certificate or license expires before the owner reviews it
- Revenue or project figures differ from the financial statements
- Disclosure questions need review by your attorney
We do not create or enlarge experience, certifications, safety data, financials or references, and we do not give legal advice on disclosures.
Before you send plans
Common questions about handing off the work
Will someone else be writing claims about my company?
Only from facts you supply and approve. Gaps go on a list for your decision. Nothing is invented to fill a page.
Who is responsible for the final submission?
Your company. We prepare and check. Your authorized signer approves, signs and submits.
Is this worth it for one form?
Often the value is the second form. The master facts sheet makes each later questionnaire faster and more consistent.
What if the quote is more than we expected?
You see the fixed price before any work starts and pay nothing unless you accept it. You can also narrow the scope to selected sections.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
How much does contractor prequalification support cost?
It is quoted to the work involved, as a fixed price, after we read your documents. A single short form costs less than a full facts library. Full bid and proposal packages are priced from $1,950 for comparison. The quote arrives within 2 business hours. Plan review is free, and you pay only after you accept the price and delivery date.
How fast can you turn it around?
We reply with a fixed quote or our questions within 2 business hours. Timing depends on the number of forms and how ready your records are. The quote states a delivery date. Tell us the form due date and when your signer is available.
How is this different from a qualifications package?
A qualifications package is a narrative response to a request for qualifications. A prequalification questionnaire is form-driven and data-heavy, and the same company facts are entered again and again. This service covers the questionnaire. Our qualifications package service covers the narrative.
Can you fill in answers we have not approved?
No. Every answer comes from facts and documents your company provides and approves. Gaps go on a list for your team to resolve. Your authorized person signs or notarizes the form where it asks. We never submit on your behalf.
Why keep a master facts sheet?
Contractors complete many questionnaires, and each asks for the same facts in different words. One approved source keeps answers consistent across forms. Dated documents also show when a certificate, license or statement needs renewal before the next form arrives, so a lapsed certificate does not stall a bid.
Do you handle subcontractor prequalification platforms?
We prepare the answers and the evidence index for you to enter. Your team keeps the login and makes the entries, because those platforms tie submissions to your company’s authorized user. We can match the platform’s question wording if you send it.
How do you handle confidential documents?
Start with a short, non-confidential description in the quote form. The form takes text only, with no uploads and no payment. If the job needs your plans, financials or pricing, we arrange a secure document exchange after scope review. Leave private rates and personal data out of the first message.
