In partnership with the Construction Associations, the Saskatchewan Bid Depository Inc. (SBDI) is a trusted system endorsed by the industry, administered by the associations and designed to uphold the integrity of bidding processes.
The SBDI, accessible at sbdi.ca, serves as a safeguard against incomplete, last-minute and qualified tenders, eliminating bid shopping and reducing risk for general contractors while protecting the owner’s investment in projects.
For General Contractors
Experience the ease of sifting through bids with ample time and each bid received is precisely defined in scope, eliminating the need for comparison and clarification.
For Consultants
Gain peace of mind with predefined project scopes, reducing the risk of costly disputes and ensuring clarity and commitment from trades during the tender period.
For Owners
Minimize risk and project cost uncertainties by avoiding unqualified trades and ensuring commitment to the full project scope, thus fostering confidence in project outcomes.
For Trades
Bid with reduced risk through the trade scope bidding process, providing bond-certified bids directly to general contractors. Bid deposits are made three days prior to the general contractor’s closing date, ensuring sealed envelope prices and preventing price shopping.
The SBDI ensures a transparent, fair and efficient bidding process, benefiting all stakeholders involved in construction projects across Saskatchewan.
