How are quotation requests allocated?
BidConvey allocates quotation opportunities according to its platform rules, taking into account factors such as location, availability and other operational criteria designed to provide fair access to work.
Will I receive every quotation request?
No. Only eligible conveyancers who meet the platform's allocation criteria, which is primarily based on the conveyancer's location (Province), will receive a quotation request.
Can I change my quotation after submitting it?
No. Once submitted, quotations are sealed and cannot be amended or withdrawn unless the request itself is cancelled.
Can I see what other conveyancers have quoted?
No. All quotations remain confidential throughout the process.
Do buyers see every quotation?
No. The seller first shortlists the preferred service offerings. The buyer only receives the shortlisted quotations for final selection.
Does the seller see my quotation amount?
No. The seller evaluates the service offering only when creating the shortlist. Pricing is revealed to the buyer during the final selection stage.
How important is price?
Price is only one factor. BidConvey encourages conveyancers to display professionalism, communication, experience, technology, service standards and value. All factors considered, the cheapest quotation may not necessarily be the best value.

How will buyers evaluate me?
Buyers compare shortlisted conveyancers based on:
- Service offering
- Professional profile
- Technology and communication
- Turnaround commitments

Can I decline a quotation request?
Yes. If you are unavailable or unable to meet the required timelines, you will miss the opportunity, or you may simply choose not to submit a quotation.

BidConvey encourages responsible quoting. Conveyancers should only submit quotations where they have sufficient capacity to provide excellent service.
Can I market directly to buyers through BidConvey?
No. The platform is designed to provide equal opportunities to conveyancing work. You will not have access to buyers until such time as you have been instructed. In which event, you will then, independently of the platform be able to market your other legal services.
