Introduction
This bid policy outlines the guidelines and rules for bidding on projects posted on our freelancing website. Our goal is to ensure a fair, transparent, and productive experience for both freelancers and clients.
Scope
This policy applies to all freelancers and clients using our platform to post or bid on projects.
Bid Policy Guidelines
Bid Accuracy: Freelancers must submit bids that accurately reflect the scope, timeline, and compensation for the project.
Bid Content: Bids should include:
A clear description of the services offered
Relevant experience and qualifications
Project timeline and milestones
Total cost and payment terms
Bid Amount: Freelancers must not bid on projects with the intention of submitting artificially low prices to attract clients. Repeatedly bidding low and renegotiating prices may result in account suspension.
Client Communication: Freelancers must communicate clearly and professionally with clients throughout the bidding process.
Bid Withdrawal: Freelancers may withdraw their bid before the project is awarded. However, repeated bid withdrawals may raise concerns and potentially lead to account suspension.
Bid Retraction: Clients may retract bids if they no longer require the services or if no suitable bids are received.
Bid Evaluation Criteria
When evaluating bids, clients should consider the following factors:
Relevance of experience: Freelancer's relevant skills and experience
Project plan and timeline: Freelancer's approach to completing the project
Pricing and value: Freelancer's pricing and the value offered
