Setting requirements bidders must meet

Requirements let you attach real conditions to a job — and QuoteHive enforces them: a contractor with any unmet requirement cannot be hired, no matter how good their bid looks.

What you can require

• Sign an NDA before receiving sensitive details.
• Attend a mandatory site walkthrough.
• Provide a cover letter describing relevant experience.
• Up to 5 custom requirement lines in your own words (e.g. “WSIB clearance certificate dated this year”).

How enforcement works

1. Each requirement becomes a tracked checklist item for every bidder on the job.
2. As contractors satisfy a condition (they sign the NDA, attend the walkthrough…), you tick it off for that contractor on the job page.
3. The hire button refuses an award while that contractor has an unchecked requirement — the system tells you exactly what’s missing.

This mirrors formal procurement practice: conditions are enforceable, not advisory. It’s especially useful on larger tenders where walkthroughs and NDAs are standard.
