How it Works for Job Posters


 

How it Works for Vendors


1) Register for free

  •  To date, there are over 3,000 vendors registered on Contract Auction.
  • When you create a post, an email is sent to each vendor who registered in the manufacturing category you select when you post your job.
  • The email contains a link to your project.
  • Vendors immediately go to your project to investigate and respond if they are interested in helping you complete your task.

2) Creating a free listing

  • Only registered users can see your post
  • Describe your posting in some detail
  • Upload any drawing files or pictures in nearly any format to help explain your project.
  • List your delivery date requirements
  • List your payment terms
  • Create enough detail to help a vendor decide if your project falls within their area of interest.

3) Communicate with potential vendors

  • Communicate with vendors via comments on your post, email, phone or any manner you specify.
  • Check a vendor's feedback or profile information
  • Let your post expire or delete it yourself

4) The site is monitored for junk posts and junk vendors

 

1) Register for free

  • When you register, select the categories you are interested in.
  • An email is sent to you every time someone posts a job in your selected categories.
