How EdBid Works

  1. Schools post RFPs, bids, and quick quotes. A second staff member approves them before they go public.
  2. Vendors register once, upload a W-9 and insurance certificate, and get verification badges.
  3. Bids stay sealed. Nobody, including EdBid, can see amounts until the deadline passes.
  4. The school awards and signs its own contract. Your tax form is shared only with the school that awards you.
  5. You get paid, then pay 1%. Schools that pay slowly show it on their public profile.
